I know the Samsung SSD SM951 needs an adapter to go from M.2 to PCIe 3.0 because this motherboard's M.2 port will strangle the 951's data flow(AHCi or NVMe). I have looked at the spec sheet for board but can't deduce whether there are enough PCIe 3.0 channels for the PowerColor Radeon R9 285 2GB TurboDuo Video Card and the Samsung SM951(128GB) to be slotted in and to work at their maximum potentials. Can someone please tell me if I screwed up buying this board and if not, which PCIe 3.0 slots do I put these two components in?
here is the specs from ASRock: ASRock > Z97M OC Formula
