how to configure pcie lanes with 2 nvme ssd

[roktmanskip]

I just put in a second 3.0x4 nvme into my rig and it is running in 3.0x2 mode. I was wondering how I can change my gpu to 8x to get the full speeds of both drives, or if i can disable something and keep my gpu on 16x.

 

mobo: x470-f strix

cpu: 5600x

gpu: 3070ti

wifi card: archer tx50

ssds: 970evo+ and sn 750

 

current config:

order from top to bottom

970 evo (4x slot)

3070ti (16x slot)

archer tx50(1x)

sn-750 (4x slot)

 

note: im not currently using the wifi card and it could be disabled, but im not sure where i can disable it in bios

You don't, that mobo has x2 on the second slot and that's it.

People overthink PCIe lanes, don't they?

They also forget that consumer CPUs have limited PCI-E lanes, and that the GPU eats most of them.

And that you won't notice a difference in speed anyway.

Or that bifurcation is less common than some may think.

Right, aliens do NOT split down the middle to reproduce.  Glad you mentioned that.
