PCIE3: x4 mode)</div><div>- 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x1 Slot (PCIE5) (Flexible PCIe)</div><div>- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 Slot (PCIE1)</div><div>- 1 x Half-size Mini-PCI Express Slot</div><div><br></div><div>I have read that the Intel 6700k has 16 pci-e lanes with 4 reserved for storage(source on tom'shardware) I want to sli gpu's then have an NVM-E storage device. sli requires that you have x8/x8 set aside for it to work. then another x4 are needed for the storage making 20, x16 gpu and 4 nvm-e. The question is do AsRock boards support this? I see on the MSI boars that they list it simply as x8/x8/x4 which is misleading as people will think they would be able to use three gpu in CF and get that bandwidth which is actually x8/x4/x4.&nbsp;</div><div>Back on topic; the part that makes it unclear is here " PCIE3: x4 mode) " this is listed at the very end by itself, would this be the slot for x4 storage to be unaffected by sli gpu/ x16 single.</div><div><br></div><div>I have this same question posted here, it might help explain what I need if you take a look:</div><div><br></div><div>http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2754331/asrock-z170-pcie-lanes.html</div></div>]]>
