did i understand this correct, i can use 1 M.2 Gen5 SSD at top slot and 3 M.2 Gen 4 SSDs withour effecting the pcie lanes of the gpu = still running on x16?
I have no idea as it was covered in about half a second but this kind of thing is in my opinion THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO COVER in all these you tube videos as it is cruicial as to whether the board is useless or not. I'm personally skipping all AMD and Intel Gigabyte motherboards this generation as it's too confusing as to when they'll essentially break the main pcie slot, so I'm not taking any chances if I add a new nvme drive in a couple of years and then nerf the board by mistake.
Heya, I know this is kind of complicated and most people don't cover it. With this board to have 16 lanes on the GPU you can do the following: Install up to Gen 5 drive on the main m.2 slot (connects to CPU) Install up to Gen 4 drive on the M2B slot (connects to CPU) Install two up to Gen 4 drives on the bottom two slots (M2P_SB and M2M_SB) these connect to the chipset. On the other hand if you connect any drive to M2D port, the main PCIE slot will drop to x8. I really recommend opening up any motherboard manufacturer manual and locate Motherboard block diagram. This has been happening with boards as long as I can remember. Generally speaking with most boards you have the same problem on a "general consumer" boards from AMD and Intel. You need to go up to Threadripper or Xeons to get more drives without sacrifices.
I just received this board and I am eager to build! But watching everything possible before starting the assembly!
z890 aorus xtreme x ice
Yes, I must have it in my collection.
The board has 2x USB C with Thunderbolt 5 I.e. 80 gbps as per the specs sheets. Did I get this wrong?

This or the MSI Ace? :)
Are SATA drives supported?
Yep via sata connection.
Gigabyte always winner 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
