New Build Check - Asus Deluxe Z170 with Samsung M2 (gen3 x4)
Excuse me up front - I'm new to this forum. Here's the deal -
Planning to build a new PC -
Asus Deluxe z170 w/Skylake 6700K
eVGA 970
Samsung 950 Pro (M2 gen 3 x4)
Samsung 850 - Sata 3
Etc...
Question is - will the boards PCIe lanes support a
GTX 970 using (3.0 X 16) as well as support the new
Samsung 950 Pro (gen 3 x4) in the M2 slot - I know it's not out - but imagine any M2 drive using x4 lanes
I'm a bit confused on how the Z-170 chipset lanes are used.
Will the drive run full speed in the M2 slot? And will this in any way effect the full speed (ie. X16) of the GPU? Ie. Does the motherboard support both these components with no hassles without slowing either component down.
Excuse any silly things I might have missed here & thanks in advance.
Yup, it will, Skylake's pci-e lanes are configured in x20, that means that your gpu and m.2 will run @ full speed (GPU @ x16 and M.2 @ x4)
