I am going to buy parts for a new gaming pc. I will be buying the ASUS ROG Strix B450-f gaming which has two M.2 slots. I will also be buying a Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVME SSD and the ZOTAC GTX 1070 ti AMP!
I was wondering where to place my 970 Evo and if that would affect either the GPU or the 970 Evo itself. On the motherboard spesification there is two notes that says:
"When the M.2_1 Socket 3 is operating in SATA or PCIE mode, SATA6G_5/6 ports will be disabled"
"When the M.2_2 is occupied by M.2 device, PCIe x16_1 will run at x8 mode"
What does this mean and will the placement of the 970 Evo slow down itself or the GPU?
