I am trying to find information about the PCIe lane splitting setup of this motherboard. I believe its different than its predecessor which didn't have the Max moniker.
In the original X870E Carbon, the M2_2 slot shared lanes with the PCI_E1 and PCI_E2 which meant that the primary graphics slot could drop speed if M2_2 is populated.
Is my understanding correct that in the Max revision, the M2_2 slot shares lanes with the USB4 controller instead?
Can I get full bandwidth if I populate only PCI_E1 (Graphics card), M2_1 (gen 5 m2 ssd), M2_3, M2_4 (gen4 m2 sdd) and 4x SATA ports?
Looking to upgrade from an 8+ year old Ryzen 2700X + Gigabyte X470 setup.
I want suggestions on the X870E motherboard to pair with 9800X3D/9950X3D. I am aware of the CPU frying issues, so want a motherboard that has the least likelihood/track record of issues.
Options that I am considering based on availability.
Gigabyte x870E Aorus Pro X3D
Gigabyte x870 Aorus Master X3D
MSI x870E MPG Carbon Max
MSI x870E MEG Ace Max
I will be adding one M2 SSD for OS and subsequently another for games. I am fine with PCI Express Gen 4 SSD's.
I also have 3-4 SATA hard drives to hook up. Since Aorus Master has only two SATA ports, I will consider it only if its really worth going through the hassle.
I will be retaining my RTX 3090 and several hard drives for now.
