NEEDS an 11th gen Intel processor to get full benefits

This is my first time building a computer for myself. It was very easy to do with online tutorials and manual. The only problem is that the PCIe 1 slot only works with an M2 SSD if you have an 11th Gen Intel processor. Everything went fine on my I9 10700KF, but the bios couldn't find the SSD. I tried it on another working installation, everything is fine. Reinstalled in slot 1 and again not recognized. Finally tried in slot 3 and the BIOS finally showed M2 SSD detection and completed the installation with no problems. Should work in slot 2 but haven't found time to move it yet (video card interferes). Some screws for heatsinks and SSD racks are very tricky. Basically I am very satisfied with the board. I wish some YouTubers familiar with the 11th gen PCIe SSD core issue would highlight this issue, otherwise the manual would have bold the message that slot 1 only works with 11th gen cores. live and learn Great learning experience. My son is very happy with his new gaming PC.
