    6th gen is not something I would buy. If I had one hanging around, then it might be worth adding nvme support.

    Curious if anybody else has done this.

    Doesn't a 6th Gen NVMe require PCIe 4?

    I don't see needing speed like that. Well, me anyway. I should buy a USB C to NVMe adapter for my clones though. It'd go a lot faster! I'd need a 2TB NVMe drive for the clone though as I currently use a 2TB NVMe drive. Right now my clones go to a Hitachi Enterprise SATA III platter and it takes quite a while to do a full clone backup.

    Ah, it looks like Gen 5 is the highest for NVMe... and I see now you're referring to the poster's CPU. My bad...

    These mods allow using a cheap pcie to nvme adapter.

    performance varies according to the pcie version and number of lanes.

    >>>>> "It can boot Windows 10 from a cold start in around 12 seconds!"
    My p300 boots Win7 from an SSD in 17 seconds. For the sake of five seconds ? I should use UEFI ?
    (If nothing goes right with this BIOS experiment, is it possible to restore M92 ?)

    This socket LGA1155 motherboard has builtin NVMe :

    it could make all them Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge computers NVMe bootable (without endangering BIOS)

    The point is not buy another board.

    The point is to use any old system you have laying around.
