[SOLVED] Which slot will be best for my m.2 Nvme ssd

[Ninjaifti]

I am kinda noob regarding m.2 and nvme.
So I bought a Corsair mp510 m.2 Nvme ssd.This is my motherboard Asus Rog b360-g 8/9th gen mobo running my 9400f cpu.The blue tick slots occupies my 2 HDD and 1 Sata SSD. my RTX2060 is in my 1st pcie slot. So should I install my nvme in the 1st slot?will it reduce the bandwidth speed of my gpu? Also what is Pcie 3.04 node and Pcie 3.02 node?

Generally best bet is to have your nvme drive closest to the cpu

Also what is Pcie 3.04 node and Pcie 3.02 node?

3.0 x4 == 4 PCIe lanes
3.0 x2 == 2 PCIe lanes

If at all possible, you want the PCIe 3.0 x4

Specifically, for your motherboard:

ROG STRIX B360-G GAMING | Motherboards | ROG Global

ASUS ROG Strix B360-G - Small form-factor performance gaming motherboard. Gamer´s Guardian with patent-pending SafeSlot for hardware-level safeguards & more

rog.asus.com

You want the PCIe 3.0 x4 slot
You'll have to look into the motherboard user manual to determine which is which.

You should put it in the second slot M.2_2 because it has 4 PCI-E lanes not 2. No it won't impact the bandwidth of the GPU because the GPU is using the 16 CPU PCI-E lanes while M.2_2 is using 4 of the 12 chipset lanes.

Install the m.2 in the bottom slot.

The slot that is farthest away from the cpu.
