Is the 5700g and an M.2 NVMe 4.0 possible?

[McDanielos]

I already bought an AMD 5700g with a B550M-AORUS-ELITE motherboard. The last time I built a computer was in 2009 and did an upgrade in 2018 for a different computer for both the SSD and Ram.

I already know the 5700g is limited to PCIe 3.0, but I can't understand all the terms. For example, would an M.2 NVMe 4.0 will work with the build or not. https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p5-plus/ct1000p5pssd8/ct20204661

Thanks for your help.

From what I get, a board with PCIe4.0 will disable such support on expansion slots with certain hardware, and it appears that a CPU with an iGPU falls into those categories. You should still be able to use a PCIe3.0 M.2 such as the WD Blue SN570, however, which is quite the bang for the buck.

It doesn't support nvme 4.0 but the drive will work in 3.0.
anyway, you don't need 4.0, really. 3.0 is fast enough.

Yes, SK is right. I forgot to mention that the extra performance is nearly undetectable in most cases. Which is one reason I exchanged an SN850 for a SN570. Less than half the cost and almost as fast for most use. You'll only notice the speed on intensive read / write operations, and that will make it run quite hot (100C in some cases) anyway.
