5820k M.2 + SLI

[Pelikan]

Hey Guys/Gals,

 

So by now I think we all know its pretty clear. Two 980's running at 16x/8x offers the EXACT same performance as two 980's at 16x/16x due to the bandwidth capabilities in PCIE 3.0. With that being said, if I run 2 980's at 16x/8x with a 5820k will the M.2 2280 slot be functional? There would still be 4x PCI lanes available and the 512gb M.2 drive im looking at uses 4 PCIE lanes. Ive been hearing a few things about the M.2 slot being disabled while running SLI with a 5820k but its still unclear.

 

Can anyone clear this up for me? Im still investigating and I think Im safe Running the M.2 and 2x980's.

 

Best regards

Depends on the mobo.

[Recon97]

Need help too

will be motherboard dependant.

 

how ever maybe try a pci e SSD? since most motherboards wont disable the other pcie slots when sli is on.

8 lanes + 8 lanes + 4 lanes out of 28 lanes of pci . I think you'll be ok.

Does this mean that the M.2 slot can either be controlled from a SATA3 6gbps controller or a PCIE 10gbps controller?

where does it say that ? it should be possibleto run in 8x/8x SLI + 4x for the m.2

I think it disables some sata connectors that are linked to the pci lanes

[Si3Rra_7]

So in conclusion it should work.

[Pelikan]

From both of those links it will work as follows

 

1st 980 = 16x PCIE 3.0

2nd 980 = 8x PCIE 3.0

M.2 = 4x PCIE 3.0

 

Thanks guys! I believe thats problem solved

I always liked msata or m.2 or other ssds that just go on the board , they work great with ridiculously small builds , what are you gonna incorporate this in ?
