Hi Guys,
I have a B450 mobo and the second nvme slot is free. Second free slot is Gen2X4 - chipset controlled. I want to put another 2TB ssd there. Now that SSD prices are dropping, I was thinking of buying a gen 4 SSD as I can use it as a direct storage game drive in the future on a newer motherboard. But will it work? All the articles I read about and also the manufacuteres page only say its backward compatible to Gen3 and no word on Gen2.
Also this second slot sits under the heatsink of a undervolted 3080Ti hitting 69C while gaming. I dont game much, but how bad would it be for the SSD? I am assuming if core reaches 69C, the air coming out of the HS would be much lesser than that.
Thanks!
