Rampge IV Extreme - PCIe Intel 750 SSD - Which PCIe slot to use?

I purchased a Intel 750 1.2tb PCIe SSD (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/...50-series.html). I was reading on Toms Hardware " best performance from a link attached to your CPU (rather than a Platform Controller Hub's PCIe lanes)." I have the Rampge IV Extreme X79. Which slot would be best for this SSD?

I am currently only using the top PCIe for my 1080 card.

Also, I haven't updated my bios in a year or 2. Is it neessary for this SSD to work?

Thanks in advance!

Really shouldn't matter. If you are only running the top slot being # 1 then 2, 4 or 6. Just realize you may not see the full potential of the SSD. PCIe 2.0 x4 saturates at 2GB/s and that about the top throughput of the 750 and I dont have that board and dont know if they even support NVMe.
