Posted January 29, 2019 Hello,i plan on buying a new pc with VII hero motherboard with r7 2700x. I have read online,that on this mobo the second m.2 slot is the one to go with,since the first one makes the gpu run at 8x pcie. So now i'm wondering can the top m.2 slot cover be moved to the bottom? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that have to do with a GPU running at 8x PCIe speeds? I'll save you the time. you will not see an appreciable performance decrease in GPU using an 8x slot. Remember, SLI uses two 8x slots.

I have read that i uses cpu lanes when you put it in the top slot... So it decreases the gpu to 8x i think... But i want to have the full performance of everything,so i still need to know if the cover can be moved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why you are hung up about the GPU not being used in 8x. there is no performance difference. What do i have to do to prove this to you? Run a benchmark with my Open loop cooled 1080ti in 8x and 16x? I have no idea where you read that running a modern GPU in 8x has a negative effect. It just not true. Nevermind that by running a NVMe (which is what i assume you are using since you're hung up on PCIe Lanes) through the chipset may limit your read speed through the DMI 3.0 link.
