X570 NVMe query?

[Space Monkey]

Hey guys,

I've recently bought the Asrock X570 Taichi which has 3 NVMe slots, now are these driven from the X570 chipset or are they controlled from the CPU?

In other words, do I need a 3xxx series CPU to use these or will a 2xxx CPU work 100% with the 3 drives?

Thanks

Hey, with a 2000 series CPUs two M.2 slots will work at Gen 4x4, while the first M.2 slot will work at Gen 3x4. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570 Taichi/#Specification

Perfect thanks

I'm only running Gen 3 NVMe drives anyway so that's perfect

There'll be one using cpu lanes and the rest will use chipset lanes. I'd expect all to work at gen 3 speed rather than gen 4, but can't say for sure.

Thanks
