Calling it the "first" PCIe slot is open to misinterpretation, that's why I said the "gray" slot to avoid any confusion.
I assume you mean the slot nearest to the processor?

If you've got the card in that one, yes that's the PCIe 3.0 slot.

I don't know why you can't get 3.0 if you're using the grey slot.
It's a mystery to me unless the board is faulty.

Wait for more replies from those who may have the solution.

You're right. I should have been more specific. Yes the first socket is the pci-e 3. That what is written on the board and the box. Also on a side note am running an i7 4790
