Hello i recently bought Crosshair 8 Hero motherboard and ram as i wait for Ryzen 3900x or 3950x to appear at stock, i wanted to know which m.2 slot is directly connected to the cpu and which goes via chipset, i would think the one closest to cpu is directly connected but that was not the case with Chrosshair 7 Hero where bottom slot was connected to the cpu and top one was via chipset.... thus got me wondering which slot now is connected directly to the cpu?

CPU: R9 5950x CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 + 3 x Noctua NF-A12x25 GPU: Gigabyte RX 6900XT Aorus Master Motherboard: ASUS Chrosshair 8 Hero RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB 3600Mhz Soundcard: Asus Xonar STX Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 1TB, Samsung 860 Evo 1TB, 3 x WD Ultrastar 20TB PSU: Seasonic Prime 850w 80+ Titanium Fans: 4 x Noctua NF-A14 OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit

I had mine in the top slot (same board) and performance was as expected (SX8200 PRO 1TB)..

Yes but it's better off connected to cpu directly
