According to Techpowerup only Rysen CPU's will have the 20 PCI-e lanes and only with the x370 chipset But if you use 2x Sata ports you get cut to 18 lanes.
My question is how this works when using multi GPU's and even more Sata ports? I personally have ATM 3x HDD's and 1x SSD. So lets do the math shall we!?!?
1x GPU :16 lanes
2x GPU's : 8 lanes per GPU = 16 lanes
2x HDD's/SSD's : 1 lanes per = 2 lanes
4X HDD's/SSD's : 1 lanes per = 4 lanes
now lets add up the lanes with 2 GPU's
2x GPU's =16 lanes
4x HDD's = 4 lanes
Total lanes needed = 20 lanes.
Someone please help me understand this because are we missing some lanes here?
What about a sound card? This will use another PCI-e slot even an X1 would be to much adding the need for another PCI-e lane.
