There are only 2 situations where you can impact the GPU lanes on a 12th or 13th gen board. if the board has dual 5.0 slots and you install a board in the second slot, ie the Z690 Hero. if the board has a dedicated 5.0 m.2 slot onboard, ie the ROG Strix Z690-E. This is a very uncommon feature on 12th gen boards, but apparently more common on 13th.
Still very new to this stuff so maybe it's just going over my head. I semi know how the PCI-e slots work on a motherboard (if I have a 1080 graphics card that needs a PCI-e 3.0 x16 I need to make sure that my Mobo has it). But what I came across was the Mobo I'm looking at (Maximus viii) supports 2 types of PCI-e 3.0 express slots, being PCH ...
16 to the PCIe slots, which normally means 16 to the top slot and the rest are unused. If you use any other slots, the top slot is dropped to 8 or 4 lanes with potential performance loss. 4 to the NVMe socket, some boards try to split 4 lanes between multiple drives, resulting in them suffering extremely reduced performance if both are under ...
2 x PCIe 3.0 x 16 (CPU) 1 x PCIe 3.0 x 16 (PCH, at x2 mode) 3 x PCIe 3.0 x 1 (PCH) I can't figure out what this means. I watched a video on chip sets, how there used to be a North and South set, and how they carried out different tasks. I learned how the CPU itself replaced the North set, and the South set is effectively what the PCH (Platform ...
Its the faster of the 2 going direct to the cpu as opposed to routing via the chipset. Reply. timo_1337. •. It shouldn't take anything away from your gpu. The worst thing that could happen is that some of your Sata ports get deactivated, but you most likely have like 6 of them, so that shouldn't hurt to much.
Hi, I'm building my new PC next week, but I'm not sure which Gen4 slot should I use for my NVMe system drive and DirectStorage gaming. My ordered parts, planned for scalability: B660 Aorus Master DDR5. Has 2x gen4 slot, a CPU, and a PCH one furthest from the CPU itself. 1x16gb 4800Mhz CL38 Kingston Fury Beast (KF548C38BB-16) ASUS 3060ti. i5-12400.

It gets a dedicated 4 lanes, direct to the CPU. The chipset ones share 4 lane DMI with every other storage device, so they cant be assured to get full bandwidth, and have to go through the chipset, which takes a little longer. A gen4 NVMe will never reach even a small fraction of full speed running most general software, office tools, games, so ...
☆☆ Intel® Rapid Storage Technology supports Intel® Optane Memory H Series on PCH attached M.2 slots. ☆☆☆ M.2-1 shares bandwidth with PCIEX16(G5)-2. When M.2-1 is enabled, PCIEX16(G5)-2 will be disabled. ☆☆☆☆ RAID configuration and boot drives are not supported on the SATA6G- E1-2 ports. I know I don't need to fill the M.2-1 ...
For M.2 drives they usually connect over 4 lanes each. Start from the top slot. If you have PCIe 4.0 SSDs, make sure to not plug them into the PCIe 3.0 slot. From what I understand, the CPU has 20 lanes and so should support a GPU running in 4.0 x16 and 1 SSD (populate M2_1 on your mobo) in 4.0 x4. M2_2 and under should be running off the chipset.
