Gen3 PCIe SSD in Gen2 PCIe slot?

[OddsCrazyStuff]

If I take the Intel 750 and plug it into an Gen2 PCIe slot, what speed will it end up as?

We are talking an x4 Gen2 slot, provided by chipset.

Motherboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99M%20Extreme4/

 

Why would I do this? Because I'm guessing its still faster then Sata 6Gb/s.

And the reason why I'm choosing Intel 750, is because for said planned build, so will it be water cooled (do to air flow restrictions in mATX case).

but the board HAS pcie 3.0 , so why would it run on gen 2 ?

2x GPUs (made single slots) will take the 2 16x Gen3 slots and an I also want an M.2 PCIe x4 Gen3 as well.

So the only slot left, is the bottom one, which is gen2 x4.

Which cpu are you going to use ?

 

If it's a 40 lane cpu it should run at pcie gen 3.0

I contacted Asrock, the last slot only runs PCIe gen2 via the chipset.

Hence my question.

 

And yes, I plan on using an i7-5930K. So its not a PCI lane matter.

to answer your question , you should be limited by pcie 2.0 speeds , which are around 1,5GBs

Question is, what does that translate to in terms of actual speed.

like i said , since the actual speed of the drive is over the bandwith cap of pcie gen 2 , you should get about 1.5gb/s read/write

You could postpone the purchase of that 5930k and wait a month or 3 to get Broadwell-E

Sequential Read 2400 MB/s, Sequential Write 1200 MB/s

Guess I will only lose a little read speed then, which it better then I thought.

The plan was to make use of my 5930K after finishing the upgrade of my main system. Only difference now is that I get an 6950X instead of 5960X for my main system.
