3950x/x570 PCIe lanes :s

[dannywaugh1]

Hi all,

I'm a little confused(doesn't take much). I know 3950x has 24 lanes 4 to communicate with the x570 chip-set leaving 20 for GPU @x16 and NVME @x4. Cant remember how many lanes the x570 has but...

I'm looking at this bundle:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8-pa...ro-corsair-64gb-3600mhz-bundle-bu-01v-am.html

What I would like do is with this build is have 1 GPU, 2 NVME drives and 5 Sata6 drives. Is this possible with the motherboard linked above or will I loose some Sata ports? The board has 8 Sata ports.

Thanks!

Download the manual from the Asus website, it'll have a section in there regarding what SATA ports get disabled, if any, when you populate the NVMe drives

Iv had a check and it doesn't seem to say that any will be disabled.

That's a good sign then, I think things get disabled when a 3rd NVMe drive is added, but that board only has 2 IIRC?

Yep only 2. All is good!
