Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2176z Bundle PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi,

So we just upgraded our desktop to the HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2176z Bundle PC for Christmas.  Upon running initial benchmarks, the weak link appears to be the Intel 660P 512GB M.2 SSD component.  Since we just bought a desktop with a Ryzen 7 CPU and RTX 3060 GPU, I would think I could just buy a Gen4 SSD (980 PRO, SN850, etc) and get Gen4 performance?  But now I'm not so sure.  So this configuration has the HP 8906 version SMVB (aka Erica6) motherboard with the B550A chipset.

 

My question is:  Does this configuration support PCIE 4.0 for the M.2 SSD or only PCIE 3.0?
