anyone have a asrock x470 taichi and uses both M.2 slots one with a 970 evo and the other with a 860 evo?

trying to figure out if both ssd's run at their full speeds or if the M.2_2 slot gets nerfed speeds or if the M.2_2 slot nerfs the GPU slot.

i know when you use M2_2, PCIE5 slot will be disabled, thats cool with me.

but my real concern is it it turns my GPU slot or the M.2_1 slot into x8 instead of x16

if it nerfs other things i will just get a 860 evo sata, instead of the M.2 version.

but really rather have both M.2 slots filled

thats good , i assumed no matter what the M.2_1 would give me the desired 3200mb+ speeds. just wasnt sure if i dualed it and put a 860 evo in the M.2_2 slot if it would give the desired 500mb+ speeds. thanks for your info!
