Can someone check me on this?
The Asus X99-Pro/USB3.1 and X99-Deluxe/U3.1 both come with one on-board M.2x4 socket, and a M.2x4 PCIe expansion card, and note so in their product descriptions "Dual 32Gb/s ultrafast M.2 x4 (onboard and PCIE add-in card)"
Okay, potentially 8 lanes used there, right?
I can't find right now the link, but research has shown me that USB 3.1 uses up 4 lanes as well - at least for the add-on USB 3.1 card (Deluxe), though I can't be sure the on-board USB 3.1 (Pro) does too, but I'd guess it would.
So now with 2 M.2 and USB 3.1 we're potentially using 12 lanes - yes?
So for a 5820K that leaves just 16 lanes for the video card(s) in x16 or x8/x8, or is it 8 lanes because the Mobo appropriates 2 or more lanes for other uses?
