CPU lane question

[FLACS]

Dear All,

 

I have a confusion in CPU lane usage, I have the following config

• Asus TUF Z390 plus motherboard with Intel i9 9900K
• Two NVME SSD installed in two M.2 slot on the motherboard.
• Two SATA SSD and one SATA HDD 
• Geforce GTX 1070Ti installed in PCIE x16 slot

 

My question is will my NVME SSDs uses the CPUs lanes, I have installed my graphics card in one of the 16x slot and the CPU supports max 16 lanes only.

 

Thanks

No, SSDs use chipset lanes. This has always been the case with M.2 slot on Intel consumer platforms

If you are not sure, you can check your BIOS setting. But if you can not find any M.2 setting, it use chipset lanes by default.

in your case, it is likely use chipset lanes. Which you have max 24 lanes on Z390. but only x1, x2, x4.

 

hope, this information helps you

He doesnt have DIMM.2 slot on his board so there wont be any choice like yours, apart from slowing it down to Gen 2 speeds
