I apologize in advanced if this is in the wrong area and/or this post is all over the place.
My current build is a 1st generation threadripper which I was wanting to upgrade to the new 5000 series CPU, specifically a 5900 or 5950x so that entails getting the CPU and a new motherboard. That is not the issue.
So now that I've laid out my current build and what I'm wanting to upgrade to A few weeks ago I purchased 3 Sabrent gen4 m.2
2tb gen 4
1tb gen 4
500gig gen 4
Now, the issue here unless i'm mistaken, and I may very well be or just not understood the new AMD 5000 cpu Lanes and how they work. They have 24 lanes where 4 are allocated to the chipset, 1 for the GPU (I also plan on getting the 6900XT) which would leave 4 lanes left for 1 M.2 to run at full speed.
The issue here would my other 2 gen 4 m.2 upon installing still get gen4 speeds as from my understanding they seem to be taken up by the chipset, GPU and one of the m.2s.
Can someone please shed some light here and let me know if I would lose any gen4 speed on the other m.2s i plan on installing?
If I won't get full gen 4.0 speed I was just thinking of going for the 3950x has his from my understanding has 40 lanes which would be enough to drive a GPU and 3 m.2 gen 4 drives.
Thanks for info and answers you can provide.
