    You can only have two m2 drives because of that slot limitation. Nobody will want to buy a 5090 and then limit the speed of the lane. So plan your build for one gen 4 4tb ssd and one gen 5 4tb ssd. (Which should be more than enough for a 4+ year build unless you don't cleanup after yourself :)) this is what I'm doing with this board!

      Hi Daniel, I just buy this mother and suddenly realized this limitation, I going to use it with two m.2 gen 4, it's going to impact the performance of the gpu?

    • @Daniel-lo5pt
      @Daniel-lo5pt 27 днів тому +2

      @thekramer324 only if you put the m2 drive in either of the two slots that impact the performance of the GPU. It will explain it in the manual. Be sure to read the manual before you build your PC.

      Time to tell how much of an impact this would have on GPU performance, by halving the 16 gen 5 lanes to 8 you are effectively getting 16x gen 4 bandwidth
      Rtx 4090 can run on pcie gen 3 motherboards with the impact to performance not being as drastic as you might fear.
      It will be interesting to see how this works out in reality

      @djpep94 I think is going to have more impact on next generation of gpus. But for me two m.2 are more than enough, I can add an external ssd if I need more.

    The quick release tabs on the M.2 drives is really nice. I've dropped those screws on older mother boards and they are a pain to find in the midst of a build.

    so if i populate one of the bottom m2 drive with gen also it will limit the gpu ??

    • @kennethnorris2968
      @kennethnorris2968 9 днів тому

      Yep decrease from X16 to X8 speeds. No thanks- that limits leaves you with the option of loading gen 5 ram with. Hit to your GPU or loading a GPU with minimal ram slots filled. Gonna look at other options for mobo- overall this board is super solid though

      Even if you look at the X870E (almost twice the price) it's the same issue I believe, and not a gigabyte specific issue.

    • @laserbeak706
      @laserbeak706 7 днів тому

      Should only be an issue if you need more than 2 m.2 drives, and/or if want Gen5 exclusively.

    i have a question. if you populate the bottom 2 m.2 slots, you limit your graphics slot to x8. is that dependent on whether you populate them with gen 5 cards or will gen 4 cards also cause this limiting effect on the graphics slot?

    • @123JimmyTheCookie
      @123JimmyTheCookie 13 днів тому +5

      Populating either of them with any m.2 will cause the GPU to run in x8.
      Keep in mind x8 gen 5 is equivalent in bandwidth to x16 gen 4, so this likely won't be a big deal at all

      @@Plague_Rat778 I'm also planning on running two pcie 4.0 m.2s. I think in this case yeah, top two slots makes sense (slot M2A and M2D as mentioned in the manual).
      The top one being the boot drive that will run off the x4 directly from CPU, and the second slot running off the chipset, which will allow the GPU to run in full x16.

    • @123JimmyTheCookie

      This is just for peace of mind knowing my GPU is getting all it can, but it's yet to be seen if cutting the lanes in half will matter for pcie 5.0 GPUs.
      For pcie 4.0 yeah it had a small effect, 1-2%, but the bandwidth here is much larger, could be a completely non issue
