Hi all, Looking for some clarification here. Do M.2 and SATA Express run off CPU PCI-E lanes or 'chipset lanes' - if this is a thing? ie. if i buy i7 6700, can i run SLI (x8/x8) and also use M.2 and SATA Express without interfering with (reducing) the CPUs PCI-E lanes and hence GPU bandwith? Is this also the case with USB 3.1 controllers that utilize PCI lanes? http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5530#ov (first sentance of advertising reel) Cheers

Will the i7 6700 support higher frequency RAM? Even though it is not unlocked?

Hello! I've been browsing computer parts recently have noticed that there is a lot of high frequency RAM on the market (ie, 2400/2600/3000/3200MHz etc..). I know that motherboards can support these speeds if they overclock, but the latest CPU's (i7 6700k/6700) are only rated for maximum DDR4 2133MHz (link). - Am I reading these CPU specs correctly? (ie should I be doubling the frequencies because its 'DDR' double data rate) - What is the highest RAM frequency the i7 6700k can support (k indicates that you can overclock it correct?) - What is the highest RAM frequency the i7 6700 can support?
