  1. It'll run through a small wall (15cm or something like that). Its to get a wired connection from the router that is in another room. itll just be routed through a small wall and behind sofas and such. idk if it matters, but itll pass behind a tv, so i dont know if the radiation would do something.
  2. Noob question, but can i use a FTP cable to connect my PC to a router or does it have to be UDP? (cable length is going to be ~25m)
  3. I understand that, however if i do the following: 16 lanes for a gaming gpu 4 lanes for an nvme 4 lanes for chipset now, if i insert a gpu for computing using the 4 lanes from the chipset ( as reccomended by mariushm (the second comment) ), will i still be able to use the sata ports on the mobo for storage?
  4. This still doesnt clear out my confusion. If i use the x4 from the Chipset for a computing gpu, can i still use SATA3 ports and an NVMe, or will i be limited to one or the either
  5. what about the SATA3 ports on the mobo. dont they take up anything?
  6. Hey, this is a topic im very confused about. How the hell do the PCIe lanes work on amd ryzen. Im planning to upgrade to a Ryzen 7 2700X with a B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard. I use 3 drives ( 2 sata SSD's and 1 HDD). I also want to use two gpu's. an RX 580 for gaming and a gtx950 for computing. Ryzen 7 2700x has 20PCIe lanes, which would allow me to use 2x8 for the GPU's and have 4 more free, and here are my questions: 1. will i be able to install an NVMe later on? 2. why do mobo manufacturers make their motherboards with so many pcie lanes when the CPU's cant cover them all ( not even a 3950x ) 3. do the SATA3 storage devices even take up CPU pcie lanes, or are they handled by the mobo? Sorry for the dum questions. Edit: I found this diagram on the net, however i dont understand it
