SLI with m.2?

[RobbyBobbyBoy]

I've currently got a 960 evo m.2 SSD installed in an asrock x370 killer sli with a Ryzen 5 1600.

 

I know that SLI is only possible with a certain number of free pci lanes, but this is an area of pc building that I'm woefully ignorant in.

 

Can anyone tell me if I could run SLI considering my SSD interfaces over pci express?

 

Also, if I were to add a second m.2 SSD would it compromise SLI support?

On the X370 chipset with devices in both x16 slots your PCIe lanes from the CPU is shared across the two x16 slots, each running at x8.

 

The top M.2 slot uses either SATA from the chipset or its own PCIe lanes from the CPU, and has no impact on GPU configuration. The bottom M.2 slot uses either Sata from the chipset or PCIe2.0 x2 lanes (about a quarter the speed of the top M.2 slots PCIe3.0 x4) from the chipset and also will have no impact on your GPU configuration.
