Hi,
I was planning to upgrade my rig with some new ryzen stuff. What I selected was:
Ryzen 7 - 3800X -> Link to AMD product page
MSI MPG X570 Gaming PRO Carbon WiFi Mainboard -> Link to MSI product page
Things I want to connect on this board (yeah I know, no one used DVDs any more.... but I do :D ):
- 1x GeForce 2060 SUPER
- 1x Samsung 970 PRO 1 TB, M2 SSD (PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3)
- 1x Samsung 950 PRO 256 GB M2 SSD (PCIe Gen 3.0 x4)
- 1x Sound Blaster Z PCIe 1x (Sorry not a fan of Realcrap onboard sound)
- 1x SATA SSD
- 2x SATA HDD
- 2x SATA DVDRW
Now I am a bit confused about the PCIe lanes, because of the two PCIe SSDs.
It says for the Ryzen 7 3800X that it has 16+4+4 PCIe lanes.
16 for the GPU
4 for Chipset Overhead
and 4 left for M2 etc.
But what if I want to put two M2 SSDs in. Will that kill the performance of the SSDs or the GPU or whatever
or is one SSD then on Mainboard lanes or am I completely wrong here?!?
What about the Sound Card, how does this fit into the lane calculation?
Does the above mentioned config (Ryzen 7 3800X + MSI X570) mainboard make sense?
Or should I go for something else?
Thanks for taking time to read through all this and helping me out ! Your help is really appreciated!
