1. temperatures will be an issue
2. isn't pci-e 2.0 x4 faster than 10GB/s m.2 ?
turbo m.2 (ultra m.2) is 32GB/s, an it's pci-e 3.0 x4. Pci-e 2.0 x4 would be 16GB/s then. 10GB/s is much slower.
Found an interesting post which seems to confirm that
"Hi, I have GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 motherboard (latest bios rev F7) and brand new Samsung 960 Evo which should get read speed close to 3200 MB/s. New drive was installed on this extenstion slot: http://allegro.pl/a2-kontroler-pcie...kMWMzYTgxZjVjMTIzMGI2MzU0ZTZjNzI3NzU1MjAyOQ== which is supposed to support PCI Express x4, V3.0.
After windows 7 installation, all drivers (including Samsung NVMe) and samsung Magician speed is limited to ~1700 MB/s.
Samsung magician report drive being connected using PCIe Gen 2 x4.
Why only PCIe Gen 2 is used at this case? Does this motherboard suppord NVMe drives at PCI-E Gen 3?
I tried to play around with bios options but none seem to help, even disabling XMP, which was described as solution in one thread."
So pci-e 2.0 x4 should give me about 1700MB/s read,which is neat. Note that SATA 6GB/s tops at 550MB/s. A 10GB/s m.2 could not possibly reach 1700MB/s, so it's certain that pci-e 2.0 x4 is faster than 10GB/s m.2
BTW I just learned there's a driver for 960/950 which is supposed to boost performance

even googling it gives a pretty straightforward answer
pci-e 2.0 x4 should provide 60% more bandwidth than 10Gb/s m.2
