Hi All,
Hoping someone can help me out with something.
I have an Asus Maximus VI Formula - this is a Z87 based board that I am running with a 4770k.
The board has a total of three 16x Slots. These can run as follows:
1. x16
2. x8 + x8 - I currently run SLI 780Ti so operating in this mode.
3. x8 + x4 + x4
Am I right in saying the 16 lanes on the x16 slots come from the CPU?
The board also has three x1 Slots. One of which is currently occupied by a SoundBlaster ZR.
The mPCIe slot supports M.2 drives but I think the format is weird and it's only a x1 slot I think.
Where do these get their lanes from, PCH?
Onto the crux of the matter:
Can I continue to run SLI, my sound card AND also add a PCIe card to allow me to run an M.2 SSD with x4 lanes?
Any help would be much appreciated.
TIA,
Syphon
