New build, first time using this drive, ASUS X99 Deluxe 2 MB and WIN 10 OS ..... would like to know which PCIe x16 slot, (1-5), is best for this drive? I haven't run the computer yet, still building out the hard tubing, water cooling, plumbing

Hi Jim1989,

Thanks for posting in our forums. We understand you would like to know the best setup for your Intel® SSD 750 Series Add-in card.We suggest you can take a look at the following http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/solid-state-drives/consumer-ssds/000005797.html link, which contains information for you to setup the disc as bootable or storage drive.In the same link, you will be able to find the http://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/ssdc/hpssd/sb/nvme_boot_guide_332098001us.p... boot guide, on page 26 it will show you the setup for your specific motherboard (Including BIOS settings).For you to know which PCI-e slot to use, the drive requires the PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 or above to work with the best performance.Now, in case you need to install Windows* 7 or 8, you need to download https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26451/Intel-SSD-Data-Center-Family-for-NVMe-Drivers this driver, because these two operating system does not provide NVMe* native drivers support.The driver will work as well for you to have the best performance from the SSD, once it is already running the OS.Please let us know if you need any further assistance.Regards,NC
