I know not everyone always likes reading instruction manuals when setting things up, but for motherboards your manual can be an absolute god send. Reading mine saved me a lot of time setting up my rig, always take the time to get it right the first time.
The whole rtfm has saved me so much time with servers, one of those little things that honestly isn't worth the time except for when it is, then it can save you hours over not reading which makes up for all those other times.
In addition using a PCIE card in the PCIeX4 slot to put a M2 NVMe is also a good idea to get better thermals, my SN850 was cooked in the mobo... With a X570 mobo I didn't suffer any performance loss neither
I actually read my manuals too and i bought the msi gaming force Z590 for the I9 10900k basically for the build quality and look of the board both. It's nice to know i am not the only one even if i know something who actually reads manuals. Thats just playing it smart i think. I even take my time reading multiple reviews and watching reviewers because there is always something to learn if your building your own pc that you might miss and could end up making a purchase you kick yourself for. Rock on tech and Rougue!!!
Once you figured out what PCIe lanes are, how many you have in your motherboard and how their configuration changes when you slot a component in (yeah, you need to read the manual for that), It's pretty easy to master it.
I always read the manual on my motherboard so I know it's features and it's limitations, also for future pc system upgrades I like to read the manual for the new motherboards online and pick the best one that's in my budget
Gigabyte x570 aorus master is the example you're looking for that is straightforward on populating everything and losing sata ports. You lose sata ports 5 and 6 for the 3rd nvme
Shame. On my asrock x570 taichi l lose 2 out of 8 SATA by populating the 3rd m.2 slot Of course lm losing also the thunderbolt port and the bottom x4 (physical x16) slot, as you do on most mobo
i also have the x570 master and i have 3 nvme plugged in. when i read that warning before even buying the board i thought to myself why would i ever need those disabled sata ports anyways but i can see someone wanting it all lol
This is actually interesting and informative. Wow. I've gotta start reading those motherboard books...I wonder who actually designs the motherboards...
That is great suggestion with the m2 to pcie x4 m2 card slot, I have one on my x370 it works perfectly, but be warned some of them have speed limits ( they are saying it is 3.0 pcie x4, but it is not). And yeah I checked the mobo how it works and I had to use second x16 slot for it, at least the x370 chipset has some value instead of the b350 lol
This the reason I went AMD. I own aorus master x570 with 3 m.2 they all work fine just lose 2 sata connection which is fine. Great board. Previous build is z370 and I knew Intel hasn’t gotten their pci 4.0 straight yet so never consider z470 or z570. It’s all marketing, sadly many people don’t do their homework
X570 AMD 5900X Im currently using all M.2 including RAID 0 on 2 drives and OS on the other... so YES if your using AMD it works, be aware it will take some bios settings to get all to work in raid and legacy drive modes.
So I found out the Z490 boards support 1 gen 4 NVMe that connects to the CPU if it's 11th gen. However if all NVMe's are gen 3 you will not get any benefit going from 10th gen to 11th gen intel as it will use the chipset.
What do you think is faster for the games data installation ? An 2TB M.2 drive encrypted with Bitlocker that is connected directly to the CPU with its x4 lane (as C: main drive). Or the games data on a second 2TB M.2 drive that is not bitlocker encrypted and not connected directly to the CPU with the lane, but via x4 to the chipset ?
I did read manuals before buying motherboard and got MSI MAG B560 Mortar to be able to use all M.2 slots with 10700 I don’t care if one is SSD and other PCI3 I’m not professional to need full speed data transfers and there is minor differences in real windows / game life between ssd and pci 3 Oh and got motherboard on deal and paid for processor £230 when 5600x was for £300 I believe it was good deal
RTFM lol, but so true! On the other hand, al that chaotic cr*p that we have now with SSD's. All motherboard manufacturers should make only M.2 NVME-ready boards, period. The same with USB, make one good USB-C like Thunderbolt. What a mess now.
I have all my m.2 slots populated, the chances of all of them being utilized simultaneously is very small, I’ve never run into any issues. X570 Gaming Edge WiFi.
My Z390 can use both, manual had no preference. Older Skylake board only had one. I don't have as high capacity of a large/multiple nvme use case though.
Hey guys so I have a question. I have a Gigabyte Z590 AORUS PRO AX motherboard Intel i9-11900k . This motherboard has 4 M.2 slots and i am thinking about getting a Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 1TB PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology to add to my storage. So from my understanding the first slot is probably the slot i wouldn't want to use so which M.2 slot would i put my new ssd in?
Even the old Gigabyte Z390 AORUS MASTER (I have an I9-9900k) can use all 3 M2, but have to give up some sata for it. And yes...read those manuals, it will save a bunch of headaches later. All the best. Cheers.
This was extremely helpful since I am in that situation. Didn't make sense to get a 11 gen. I'll just do the work around. Or use it as an external drive.
I personally don't see the use/need for more than one M.2 drive & use a single 2TB Solidigm/Intel P44 Pro Gen4 M.2 2280 NVMe (1200 TBW endurance) in my recent 1440p system build. My secondary/archive drive is a 960GB Solidigm/Intel D3-S4620 Enterprise/Data-Center Class 2.5" SATA SSD (7100 TBW endurance). All that I need for my gaming & home use.
what about using 4m.2's on the z690 boards? will the gpu still run at 16x? i have 3 installed on a gigabyte z690 gaming x with 3 nvme drives working fine. I ordered a 4th m.2 for the 4th slot to run all 4 in raid 0. any thoughts?
Z590 Aorus ultra top NVME works fine with 11900k. Didn’t know this was even an issue when i set it up last year. I did however notice my sata 1 port doesn’t work with an NVME in the top slot due to the fact it has shared bandwidth.
I play a lot of fps games using 1080p resolution and lowest graphical settings possible for maximum fps. Is it worth buying the 3200 cl14 dual channel kit (2×8GB) if I already have a 3200 cl16 dual channel kit (2×8GB)? I have ryzen 5 3600 cpu and x570 crosshair viii hero. I also hear 3200cl14 dual channel kit (2×8GB) is the sweet spot for ryzen is that true? The ram im thinking of buying is 3200 g.skill ripjaws v black cl14 dual channel (2×8GB) and it would cost me $148 USD what do you think? Just to repeat myself my current cpu and ram is r5 3600 and 3200 g.skill Trident z royal cl16 dual channel (2×8GB). I also previously mentioned I have a x570 crosshair viii hero motherboard.
My Tomahawk b550 has all slots full on board and external usb and type c connections 😂 still working very well..8 tb nvme's and many hdd 32 tb. 10 disks total.
The manual is indeed king. I just don't understand people who just dive in and only read it when they come up against some problem or other. For example, on my (less expensive) B550 board, if you use the second M.2 slot (it only has two), it actually knocks out the PCIe x4 slot. Arrrrr Teeee Efffff Emmmmm....
I have the 9900k with a msi z390 godlike motherboard with 4 pcie gen 3 slots and I have 3 nvme 970 evo plus 2 of them are 2tb each and one 250 gb and 2 sata ssd 1tb each 860 evo, my motherboard came with an additional expansion card for the pcie gen 3 to add 2 more nvme. I could have a total of 5 nvme as well as 2 sata ssds to go along on my motherboard if I wanted to. I might consider it if 6.25 tb is not enough storage by adding 2 more nvme 970 evo plus at 2tb each with (10.25 tb) to be determined. I thought about having two 2080 ti's for 4k but I decided to stick with one 2080 ti since I wanted to game at native 4k with rtx on but dlss off and ray tracing does not support nv link that's why I decided to stick with one 2080 ti. At one point I was considering an rtx titan or an even a 2080 ti kingpin but I don't have liquid nitrogen. My motherboard has an overclocking knob for overclocking to 5.7 ghz. I decided to get an evga 2080 ti ftw 3 instead since I'm not gonna be doing alot of benchmarking or going for breaking records. This is gonna be an extreme overkill, but I wish cpus could overclock to 10ghz, gpus at 10ghz and ram at 10ghz. I hope in the future that graphics for games would be so detailed and lifelike and advanced that it would be hard to tell a difference between a video game graphics and watching movies in 4k with lots of details, colors and hdr. Basically it would be interesting if games were made in 4k like having movies on a 4k uhd disc uncompressed. They would take tons of data and storage but the graphics would be insane and so immersive.
That’s a lot of talk for a simple answer. You don’t have to perform an essay for every question, you can easily just get to the point and stay on track
I tried using dual NVMe SSDs on a Z390 Gigabyte Designare and the PC wouldn't even let me get into the BIOS. I wasn't aware that there was such an issue with that configuration. So just so you know, it may happen to you.
Have a Z390 Pro... Not sure what you did there. I haven't got a M.2 NVMe drive yet but the maximum I'm expecting is to lose SATA ports. And that's fine with me. But how come you can't get in the BIOS?? The BIOS does have the option to disable M.2 ports sooooo... Maybe that's the problem?!
strix x570-e doesn't disable anything no matter what you plug in, all slots and satas active. granted theres only 2 m.2 slots on it, thats why. x570 mobos that have 3 m.2 slots, takes either to disabling 2 sata ports or the last pcie x16 slot (electrically x4) to enable that 3rd m.2. i run three nvmes, by two m.2 slots and an adapter m.2 card in the last pcie slot. i also can do the same on Tuf x570 as well, via the 2 m.2 slots + adapter card method.
hi. i just bought a ryzen 7 5700g processor and WD Black SN850 nvme ssd 500Gb gen4, Samsung 970 evo plus 1Tb nvme ssd, Samsung 860 evo 500gb ssd. I need bios update button and display port on the mobo. b550 or x570 would be handle all of the hard drives without losing speed and sata ports? When gpu prices will be normal i will go with the ryzen 9 5900x and a gpu. So need someting future proof. thank you.
I have a B550 board, and if I use the second NVMe slot, the second pcie slot will be disabled. So I have to chose between the NVMe or pcie for that second slot, because the chipset can only run one at a time.
The answer is almost always yes and no. I have a livemixer b650. The diagram in the manual states that if you use the m.2 3 slot, then the pcie 3 slot switches off.
If u still can't find it you can always ask someone on reddit or anyone on RUclips who's made a video on the board. Or even go to the motherboard page on Amazon and look for the question or ask about it there
Do I need to use both m.2 slots or I can just install my 2tb m.2 on one slot rather than installing two 1tb on each slot? Would the performance be the same using only one slot than using both? Thanks
Some graphics cards are physically PCI Express 16x but electrically 8x, or so I read. Would your viewer need to worry too much about using the second PCI Express slot for an M.2 adapter?
Im having trouble getting both m.2 slots on my motherboard to work. When i installed the 2nd m.2, my pc stopped recognizing my SSD which had my bootdrive on it and my PC wouldnt boot. Any ideas why?
i guess my MSI Z490 Gaming Plus Rocks lol, i can use my top slot with a 10th gen cpu and i can use a Gen 4 ssd with an 11th gen cpu, although it only has 2 m.2 slots 🤷🏻♂️
Some MSI boards do have a switching M.2 lane feature. For example the B560M Mortar Wi-Fi m.2 top slot can be used on a 10th Gen Intel CPU. But it will only deliver PCIE GEN 3.0 speed and I believe the SATA port number 2 will be disabled. Using 11th Gen Intel CPU will switch its lane back to PCIE GEN 4.0 and SATA port number 2 will be available.
Hello, just curious is anyone would know whats causing my second NVMe to not appear in bios or disk manager. Mobo is a Asrock z390 pro GPU - 2070s CPU - i5 9600k Currently have a WD Blue SN550 500GB NVMe installed and working fine and trying to install a Western Digital WD Black SN750 in the bottom m.2 slot but doesnt seem to be detected anywhere. On the website for my mobo is says it supports Gen3x4 and the new NVMe says its backwards compatible with Gen 3 as well. Tried a few things i seen online but no luck. Also dont know too much about pc's myself so any help is appreciated. Thanks
Please Help Can you please explain? I’ve been told m.2’s share the gpu x16 slot & makes it a x8? I’m in the process of picking parts for my new pc build. I’m getting a 4090 so I don’t want the m.2s sharing that x16 gpu slot. If there is a video explaining it can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks It’s so damn confusing to me.
I was looking for how to activate the 4th slot on my Z590-E I got the 11900K so it has the feature, but how do I switch the second PCIe slot over to let the 4th M.2 slot to activate? Idk what to click in the BIOS
I just got a ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII x570 wifi board and a 5900x. It's not recognizing my boot m.2 drive in the top slot but i cant figure out how to get it to work. I'm also having issues trying to update the bios via the usb bios flashback feature. Does anyone have any tips on how to enable the m 2 slot and/or a more thorough explanation on how to get the bios updated? When i try to update the bios via flashback, the led flashes like 3-5 time and goes solid and never turns off. Please, any help is greatly appreciated as this is my personal rig and its been down for days as i was waiting for the mobo to be delivered (old mobo went bad).
hello can someone help me enable 16x pcie for my gpu? its fully supported by the mb, cpu and gpu even in gpu-z but it never runs more than 4x 3.0 even when it says in gåuz it can run in 16x and it also say in nvidia control panel bus 16x something something. i suspect my m2 nvme pcie 4x ssd is gay.
I’m using a 1tb m.2 Seagate 530 firecuda ssd on a intel i9 11900k cpu w/ gigabyte z590 vision d lga1200 MB and I was wondering if I could add another ssd on my next m.2 slot that only supports Gen 3 with a Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe beneath my Gen 4 slot ?
Your gpu will be running on 8 channels instead of the 16, but like you said most people wouldn't even notice the difference because it has very little effect. Plus the loss of two sata ports again you would most likely have 4 others spare.
Hi if you can help mi i have asRock Phantom Gaming 4 H570 with 3 slot m.2 i have intel i5 10500 my question is can i use the 3 slot m2 thanks for your answer bless
My friend had the Z390 master and after reading and reading that book I Had to have every Motherboard of Class ("Top Tier"). Z390 & Intel 9700k, Z490 & Intel 10900k, Z590 & Intel 11900k, and the Z690 & 12900k, and I have an Eye open on the AMD X570S & AMD Ryzen 9 5900X.

For the boards where all 3 NVMe drives can run even with 10th gen, they all go through the chipset, as stated, AND because it's 10th gen they all run PCIe gen3, and I assume those boards have DMI 3.0 with 8 lanes which means you get 8GB/s between the chipset and CPU, total. With 11th gen, you get much better conductivity. Or, just buy an X570 MB with either Zen 2 or Zen 3 and you get one NVMe that runs directly to the CPU, and if you buy a board with 3 NVMe ports, you have 2 more that run through the chipset, and the connection between the chipset and CPU is PCIe gen4 X4, so you get 8GB/s for those two drives that run through the chipset, total, AND as long as you use Zen2 or Zen3 you have everything running PCIe gen4. With the X570 boards that have 3 NVMe ports, you typically have RAID options with the drives, and the RAID can use any of the drives, and it's not drive specific, I believe. Maybe I'm wrong on that last point.
Getting abit of buyer's remorse now, but the lack of worthwhile x570 boards meant I had to settle with a z590 aorus, very solid motherboard but ofc only downside is the rather mediocre 11th gen i7. But I got it for practically the lowest msrp in my country. Ryzen 5s are actually selling so well here there aren't any boards avaliable lol
I have the Z390 AORUS MASTER mobo and TWO Samsung Nvme EVO 1TB drives. I'm really hoping I can put both in there and have them both working. I actually have one of my EVOs currently installed into the top slot on the drive right now and this next one I'm thinking of putting into the next slot down. Hopefully all goes well! Why'd they have to make this stuff so confusing lol. Appreciate the video though!
hi I don't know whether you can help me or not upgraded my bios now my pci-express card does not work .and I put it in the last slot it worked before I updated the bios
I have and old system asrock z370 gaming k6 I have a thunderbolt 3 pcie card that was working fine now I just installed a rtx3080 rog strix and it dint want to recognize it I did a cmos reset now the gpu works but the thunderbolt won’t work now how I can manage the settings
I have a 10900K in a z590 MOBO.. works perfectly fine and no issues.. but ofcouse I had to put my 980 Samsung M.2 on the bottom slot.. btw with a 3080 strix GPU.. no problem..
Personally my experience has been the exact opposite. Used both and to me intel just seems to work better. Amd is a good platform but I found myself constantly having little issues
It's a technical limitation with the PCIE 3.0 lanes in the CPU, not the motherboard. A typical Intel processor has 16X. You use 8X for your GPU, you have 8X left. You need at least a 4X for one PCIE 3.0 NVME, which means you have 4X left. So if you use that last 4X for the remaining NVME, you're out of lanes. Thus you can't put a 3rd NVME and expect it to work. You can however run the 2nd and 3rd NVMEs at 2X each, but that seriously gimps their performance and is not worth it. That's why X series was introduced, and is not new. They have 24 or more PCIE lanes, thus you can run a GPU, and 3 NVME drives at full speeds without issue. But obviously you gotta pay more.
I looked at all of these pages, and still i came here because i dont understand. Altho i see 2 diagrams at the beginning that one of them says the m.2 is directly connected to the cpu and in your video i saw the diagram saying ita connected to the bus
I'm using "Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X" motherboard with i9 10900 CPU! I like this CPU better than 11-gen HOT sh!!!t because 10-gen i9 have 10-core/20-thread and i don't care 3x M.2 SSD's, i'm using 2x SSD's 😎! Sooooo - i prefer more cores than more SSD's! 11-gen really suks 🤮!
I thought the same until I tried both back to back in the same system. I get higher boost clock speeds and lower Temps with my 11900k than I did with my 10900k with nearly identical performance. With the exception that the 10900k is a little better when all the cores and threads can be properly utilized but the single core speed of the 11900k is substantially faster than my 10900k. So things like desktop usage, opening programs and playing games that can't take full advantage of all the cores are much better on the 11900k. I ended up keeping the 11900k for my build because for me it gave the best performance for my use case and I can use Gen 4 NVMe drives also. My 10900k is still a great CPU for its use case but I personally like the 11th Gen better.
@@dracer35 Interesting! Do you really felt difference? 😳... There was 4x i9 10900, i tried ALL and i choosed coolest one + it works @1.15V only, so temps with 240mm AIO (vents @900rpm) while gaming are ~45-65'C, but Max with Prime95 are 88-91'C. Other 3 examples cant run @1.15V (with ~1.18V) and they was hot (100'C immediatly @prime). All PL1/PL2 unlocked. My score @Cinebench R15 are 2601 points. I have no lag when oppening programs, system is smooth - VERY smooth. Before this i had i7 10700F, performace was the same and with i5 10500 too (mby a little longer program oppening). Old i7 9700K and later i9 9900K felt like these both (10 gen i7/i9). There are some proeblem with Z590 boards. On Asus Z590-P i got less FPS with the same CPU. Then i looked for RAM lattency and it was 54ns 😳,it was MINIMUM what i could get on Asus. On Z490 Asrock it was 42ns and now on Gigabyte its 47ns (i stayed with Giga, because i like it). There are REAL performance difference from RAM when comparing Asrock VS Asus VS Gigabyte boards 🤬. Used the same T-Force RAM kit (32gb 3200 CL14). I'm happy with it for now.
@@KOT-ANGRY 1.15v is really good so it sounds like you definitely got a great chip. Hard to compare temps because I'm using a custom hardline water loop in my Lian Li 011 mini case with 3 rads (2-360mm's and 1-240mm) in my loop along with the water-cooled rtx 3090. Lian Li Uni fans set to 800rpm and the system is very quiet like I wanted. My 11900k CPU temps while gaming is between 45-55c and a max of 78c with Prime95 load. I am using the Gigabyte z590i Aorus Ultra mini itx motherboard with 32gb of G. Skill Flare X 3200 c14 ram. Haven't tested the latency yet with the new setup but I probably should just to check. I probably should have just stuck with the 10900k since it was plenty fast but with my motherboard I can only use the rear m.2 slot with the 10th gen CPU. Having the 11th gen CPU allows me to use a gen 4 NVMe in the front slot for my boot drive and a 2tb gen 3 drive in the rear slot for my extra storage.
@@dracer35 Using upper slot is nice, but with 10-gen i cant 😔! If talk 100% then CPU is i9 10910 (Apple Exclusive), Turbo boost 4.7ghz on all cores, non-K chip! Its 100mhz faster on each core than i9 10900, that's reason why i have higher Cine R15 score (between 10900 and 10900K). System is quiet too, LianLi O11 Dynamic, GPU RX6900XT with 360mm (exaust) radiator at top, 240mm (intake) for CPU at side and 3x 120mm (intake) coolers at bottom. Really good case! I dont see any better scenarious there because CPU cant warm up radiator so much than GPU can ☠, thats reason for CPU rad intake. Hmmmmmm, you have super temps for 3090, how its possible? 😳, others have momory temp problems 110'C+ lol ☠! P.S. Latency test with Aida64, last section, Latency and F5 😎
@@KOT-ANGRY interesting, I didn't realize there was a 10910. I see 5.1GHz all core and 5.3GHz 1-2 core on my K. My 3090 is the FE and the rear memory temps were pretty high (100c+) with the stock air cooler. I went with the Corsair waterblock and I really like it. I've been using EK waterblocks for years but tried the Corsair this time and I won't be going back to EK unless they up their game. Corsair provides several extra benefits over the EK. Core temp sits around 50c under load and memory temps are around 70c which I thought was insane to get a 30c drop on the memory. Air cooling is fine on the cards with only memory on the front of the pcb but for the 3090, I personally wouldn't want to run one at full load on air for very long. Ya, I'm familiar with the latency test. I've just haven't gotten around to doing it lol. Been really enjoying using this build. I would really like to test a 6900xt someday but so far I haven't been able to get one.

In addition using a PCIE card in the PCIeX4 slot to put a M2 NVMe is also a good idea to get better thermals, my SN850 was cooked in the mobo... With a X570 mobo I didn't suffer any performance loss neither
This is why I bought the X570 Taichi, I'd rather lose the x4 pcie slot than lose SATA ports when adding a 3rd M.2 drive
or just get adapter card to put m.2 into the x4 pcie slot. Running three NVMEs this way on my tuf x570, two M.2 slots + adapter card in x4 pcie slot.

Of course lm losing also the thunderbolt port and the bottom x4 (physical x16) slot, as you do on most mobo
true, but you don't lose sata port 5&6 on the 3rd m.2 slot in sata mode though, also I have the same x570 master motherboard and I like it so far
i also have the x570 master and i have 3 nvme plugged in. when i read that warning before even buying the board i thought to myself why would i ever need those disabled sata ports anyways but i can see someone wanting it all lol

This is actually interesting and informative. Wow. I've gotta start reading those motherboard books...I wonder who actually designs the motherboards...
That is great suggestion with the m2 to pcie x4 m2 card slot, I have one on my x370 it works perfectly, but be warned some of them have speed limits ( they are saying it is 3.0 pcie x4, but it is not). And yeah I checked the mobo how it works and I had to use second x16 slot for it, at least the x370 chipset has some value instead of the b350 lol
Is it the same with the Z790 boards with 4 slots?
This the reason I went AMD. I own aorus master x570 with 3 m.2 they all work fine just lose 2 sata connection which is fine. Great board. Previous build is z370 and I knew Intel hasn’t gotten their pci 4.0 straight yet so never consider z470 or z570. It’s all marketing, sadly many people don’t do their homework
My ASUS board disables sata 5 & 6 if the M.2 is in use, i found this out recently when adding a SSD
yeap the ROG strix z490-e gaming disables 5 and 6 (I think some of the other asus z490 do the same)
X570 AMD 5900X Im currently using all M.2 including RAID 0 on 2 drives and OS on the other... so YES if your using AMD it works, be aware it will take some bios settings to get all to work in raid and legacy drive modes.
So I found out the Z490 boards support 1 gen 4 NVMe that connects to the CPU if it's 11th gen. However if all NVMe's are gen 3 you will not get any benefit going from 10th gen to 11th gen intel as it will use the chipset.
What do you think is faster for the games data installation ? An 2TB M.2 drive encrypted with Bitlocker that is connected directly to the CPU with its x4 lane (as C: main drive). Or the games data on a second 2TB M.2 drive that is not bitlocker encrypted and not connected directly to the CPU with the lane, but via x4 to the chipset ?
I did read manuals before buying motherboard and got MSI MAG B560 Mortar to be able to use all M.2 slots with 10700 I don’t care if one is SSD and other PCI3 I’m not professional to need full speed data transfers and there is minor differences in real windows / game life between ssd and pci 3 Oh and got motherboard on deal and paid for processor £230 when 5600x was for £300 I believe it was good deal
RTFM lol, but so true!
On the other hand, al that chaotic cr*p that we have now with SSD's. All motherboard manufacturers should make only M.2 NVME-ready boards, period. The same with USB, make one good USB-C like Thunderbolt. What a mess now.
“RTFM” Stands for “Read The Fookin Manual”
I have all my m.2 slots populated, the chances of all of them being utilized simultaneously is very small, I’ve never run into any issues. X570 Gaming Edge WiFi.
does installing more than one nvme m.2 affect performance or is that just a myth??
My Z390 can use both, manual had no preference. Older Skylake board only had one. I don't have as high capacity of a large/multiple nvme use case though.
Hey guys so I have a question. I have a Gigabyte Z590 AORUS PRO AX motherboard Intel i9-11900k . This motherboard has 4 M.2 slots and i am thinking about getting a Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 1TB PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology to add to my storage. So from my understanding the first slot is probably the slot i wouldn't want to use so which M.2 slot would i put my new ssd in?
Intel Processors usually actually have 20 lanes 4 lanes go to DMI and you left with 16 for PCE X16.
I gave 2 Samsung 950 pro's on riser cards in my X58 system. Works great.
Even the old Gigabyte Z390 AORUS MASTER (I have an I9-9900k) can use all 3 M2, but have to give up some sata for it.
And yes...read those manuals, it will save a bunch of headaches later.
All the best.
Cheers.
i never read manuals, i always throw them away.
but stay away from my motherboard manual that thing is holy.
This was extremely helpful since I am in that situation. Didn't make sense to get a 11 gen. I'll just do the work around. Or use it as an external drive.
I personally don't see the use/need for more than one M.2 drive & use a single 2TB Solidigm/Intel P44 Pro Gen4 M.2 2280 NVMe (1200 TBW endurance) in my recent 1440p system build.

Z590 Aorus ultra top NVME works fine with 11900k. Didn’t know this was even an issue when i set it up last year. I did however notice my sata 1 port doesn’t work with an NVME in the top slot due to the fact it has shared bandwidth.

The manual is indeed king. I just don't understand people who just dive in and only read it when they come up against some problem or other.
For example, on my (less expensive) B550 board, if you use the second M.2 slot (it only has two), it actually knocks out the PCIe x4 slot.

I have the 9900k with a msi z390 godlike motherboard with 4 pcie gen 3 slots and I have 3 nvme 970 evo plus 2 of them are 2tb each and one 250 gb and 2 sata ssd 1tb each 860 evo, my motherboard came with an additional expansion card for the pcie gen 3 to add 2 more nvme. I could have a total of 5 nvme as well as 2 sata ssds to go along on my motherboard if I wanted to. I might consider it if 6.25 tb is not enough storage by adding 2 more nvme 970 evo plus at 2tb each with (10.25 tb) to be determined. I thought about having two 2080 ti's for 4k but I decided to stick with one 2080 ti since I wanted to game at native 4k with rtx on but dlss off and ray tracing does not support nv link that's why I decided to stick with one 2080 ti. At one point I was considering an rtx titan or an even a 2080 ti kingpin but I don't have liquid nitrogen. My motherboard has an overclocking knob for overclocking to 5.7 ghz. I decided to get an evga 2080 ti ftw 3 instead since I'm not gonna be doing alot of benchmarking or going for breaking records. This is gonna be an extreme overkill, but I wish cpus could overclock to 10ghz, gpus at 10ghz and ram at 10ghz. I hope in the future that graphics for games would be so detailed and lifelike and advanced that it would be hard to tell a difference between a video game graphics and watching movies in 4k with lots of details, colors and hdr. Basically it would be interesting if games were made in 4k like having movies on a 4k uhd disc uncompressed. They would take tons of data and storage but the graphics would be insane and so immersive.

Always read the manual regardless of your experience.
strix x570-e doesn't disable anything no matter what you plug in, all slots and satas active. granted theres only 2 m.2 slots on it, thats why.
x570 mobos that have 3 m.2 slots, takes either to disabling 2 sata ports or the last pcie x16 slot (electrically x4) to enable that 3rd m.2.
i run three nvmes, by two m.2 slots and an adapter m.2 card in the last pcie slot.
i also can do the same on Tuf x570 as well, via the 2 m.2 slots + adapter card method.
I am glad i went with rysen,i don't have that problem,all my m.2 slots are useable

I have a B550 board, and if I use the second NVMe slot, the second pcie slot will be disabled. So I have to chose between the NVMe or pcie for that second slot, because the chipset can only run one at a time.

Some MSI boards do have a switching M.2 lane feature. For example the B560M Mortar Wi-Fi m.2 top slot can be used on a 10th Gen Intel CPU.

Your gpu will be running on 8 channels instead of the 16, but like you said most people wouldn't even notice the difference because it has very little effect. Plus the loss of two sata ports again you would most likely have 4 others spare.

Man, I thought you were going to do an exhaustive explanation of which boards can handle the 4th gen M.2 drives I have an X570 Asus Rog viii hero wifi
For the boards where all 3 NVMe drives can run even with 10th gen, they all go through the chipset, as stated, AND because it's 10th gen they all run PCIe gen3, and I assume those boards have DMI 3.0 with 8 lanes which means you get 8GB/s between the chipset and CPU, total.
With 11th gen, you get much better conductivity.
Or, just buy an X570 MB with either Zen 2 or Zen 3 and you get one NVMe that runs directly to the CPU, and if you buy a board with 3 NVMe ports, you have 2 more that run through the chipset, and the connection between the chipset and CPU is PCIe gen4 X4, so you get 8GB/s for those two drives that run through the chipset, total, AND as long as you use Zen2 or Zen3 you have everything running PCIe gen4.
With the X570 boards that have 3 NVMe ports, you typically have RAID options with the drives, and the RAID can use any of the drives, and it's not drive specific, I believe. Maybe I'm wrong on that last point.
Getting abit of buyer's remorse now, but the lack of worthwhile x570 boards meant I had to settle with a z590 aorus, very solid motherboard but ofc only downside is the rather mediocre 11th gen i7. But I got it for practically the lowest msrp in my country. Ryzen 5s are actually selling so well here there aren't any boards avaliable lol
I have the Z390 AORUS MASTER mobo and TWO Samsung Nvme EVO 1TB drives. I'm really hoping I can put both in there and have them both working. I actually have one of my EVOs currently installed into the top slot on the drive right now and this next one I'm thinking of putting into the next slot down. Hopefully all goes well! Why'd they have to make this stuff so confusing lol. Appreciate the video though!

Id have to disagree. Inteo is definitely more user friendly 9 times out of time
I have only used Ryzen. Seems easy for me
I don’t have those problem and I run Intel
Intel users of a certain age have used AMD before. Like me, I went back to Intel.
Personally my experience has been the exact opposite. Used both and to me intel just seems to work better. Amd is a good platform but I found myself constantly having little issues
Why cant they just make motherboards with the ability to use all the slots with no loss 🤷🏻♂️
They probably do but like they said they aren't a consumer available one
I figure it's a server only thing
@@reyluna0 maybe one day all motherboards will have it
It's a technical limitation with the PCIE 3.0 lanes in the CPU, not the motherboard. A typical Intel processor has 16X. You use 8X for your GPU, you have 8X left. You need at least a 4X for one PCIE 3.0 NVME, which means you have 4X left. So if you use that last 4X for the remaining NVME, you're out of lanes. Thus you can't put a 3rd NVME and expect it to work. You can however run the 2nd and 3rd NVMEs at 2X each, but that seriously gimps their performance and is not worth it.
That's why X series was introduced, and is not new. They have 24 or more PCIE lanes, thus you can run a GPU, and 3 NVME drives at full speeds without issue. But obviously you gotta pay more.

I'm using "Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X" motherboard with i9 10900 CPU! I like this CPU better than 11-gen HOT sh!!!t because 10-gen i9 have 10-core/20-thread and i don't care 3x M.2 SSD's, i'm using 2x SSD's 😎! Sooooo - i prefer more cores than more SSD's!
11-gen really suks 🤮!
I thought the same until I tried both back to back in the same system. I get higher boost clock speeds and lower Temps with my 11900k than I did with my 10900k with nearly identical performance. With the exception that the 10900k is a little better when all the cores and threads can be properly utilized but the single core speed of the 11900k is substantially faster than my 10900k. So things like desktop usage, opening programs and playing games that can't take full advantage of all the cores are much better on the 11900k. I ended up keeping the 11900k for my build because for me it gave the best performance for my use case and I can use Gen 4 NVMe drives also. My 10900k is still a great CPU for its use case but I personally like the 11th Gen better.

My 3090 is the FE and the rear memory temps were pretty high (100c+) with the stock air cooler. I went with the Corsair waterblock and I really like it. I've been using EK waterblocks for years but tried the Corsair this time and I won't be going back to EK unless they up their game. Corsair provides several extra benefits over the EK. Core temp sits around 50c under load and memory temps are around 70c which I thought was insane to get a 30c drop on the memory. Air cooling is fine on the cards with only memory on the front of the pcb but for the 3090, I personally wouldn't want to run one at full load on air for very long.
Ya, I'm familiar with the latency test. I've just haven't gotten around to doing it lol. Been really enjoying using this build. I would really like to test a 6900xt someday but so far I haven't been able to get one.
