M.2 NVMe PCIe and GPU

[chiller15]

So I have an Asus TUF Z390m-PRO GAMING WiFi motherboard, a Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVMe drive and an Asus ROG STRIX 1080 Ti. I have the system all hooked up and working, though just curious about my configuration. My motherboard has two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and two M.2 PCIe slots. Here's a screenshot of how I have installed my components:

 

Green = GPU

Red = NVMe

 

Does the GPU and NVMe slots share the same PCIe lanes? As in, will they impact each other's performance?

Nope, they have their own lanes.

Yup, they have their own lanes.  The M.2  slot you chose, I'm assuming has thermal pads under the cover to make up for the heat given off by the the GPU that traditionally gets slotted there.  If you notice your M.2 SSD getting hot for some reason, try moving it to another M.2 slot.

Cheers for the replies.

you can also get a better heatsink, I use EK heatsinks on my M.2s because they thermal throttle with extended file transfers. I'm guessing they assume people will generally use smaller loads more often, because both my RD400 and 970 evo thermal throttled without a heatsink.
