Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD PCI lanes question.

Noiz1212 · Jul 29, 2016

Hey.

So I got an intel i7 6700k that support 16 PCIe lanes.

I also got a 1080, but I was wondering if I should maybe get another 1080 in the future.
Then these would run at x8/x8 pcie lanes.

Would adding the samsung 950, makes the cards run slower?

regards, Noiz

It shouldn't the M.2 port comes off the Z170 chipset rather than the PCIe lanes from the CPU.

But I think someone said it takes up 4 PCie lanes. Leaving my cards at x8 and x4, and people say you can experience bottlenecks with GPU's at x4

It does take 4 lanes but those should be from the chipset and not the CPU. Did you search this site for other threads ??? -- http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2962945/manage-sata-pci-ports-z170.html

I thought a 6700k has 20 PCIe lanes o_o

You will have no trouble.
The 6700K has enough PCIe lanes for 2 GraphicCards.
It is listed in your Manual, how the PCIe Lanes slit up.
The additional PCIe lanes for SATA Controller and M.2 Port and other peripherals are provided by your Chipset.
No need to worry!
6700K has 16 lanes
Z170 Chipset has 20 lanes

Oh, so Intel still did not increase the amount of PCIe lanes coming directly from the CPU. It also still has 4 core i7's till now. I don't know how long will this stay. So, there are 20 lanes from the chipset. Is that the total no. of lanes?
