That board I am pretty sure only has one m.2 slot. You could use a PCIE adapter card to add the second one. Simply install windows to the 970 and then format the 960 when in windows.

But my motherboard does not recognize the 970 anywhere,i dont see any m.2 option or something
What settings should i have on my mobo to run it fast?
could you please contact me so i ask you some questions i have on discord?

Been forever since I set mine up, but it was the only drive installed at the time and I booted off an USB drive to install Windows.
