Hi,
so Ryzen 7 5800x and a strix x570-f motherboard. Please help me here.
Can I use the full x16 4.0 slot for the gpu and the x4 4.0 m.2 slot AND the second 4x 4.0 m.2 slot + 4 sata 6gb/s devices without running into any of this stuff sharing lanes?
Cpu lanes should be 16x gpu, 4x m.2 slot and 4x down to the chipset. If the second m.2 slot alone needs 4x 4.0 pcie lanes already.. then this doesn't really work, right? Or does it? My head is exploding xD
And does anyone know if direct storage will need the ssd to be installed into the slot with the cpu lanes? Just curious.
Edit. HurrDurr just found out that taking a closer look into the manual is indeed - quite helpfull https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_STRIX_X570-F_GAMING/E15827_ROG_STRIX_X570-F_GAMING_UM_v2_WEB.pdf
Pcie operating mode: Chapter 1, site 1-7. Says that it should be fine. Nothing to be found on the sata ports tho. I thought that could cause a problem.
