	This is difficult to answer, without knowing which board, You are talking about Take the Z790 PG Lightning https://pg.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z790%20PG%20Lightning/index.asp#Specification You see the first slot is connected to the CPU, trhe second slot, to the chipset, but it only has 4 lanes. The M.2 PCIE 5.0x4 is also connected to the CPU, but as You can see it doesn't share resources, otherwise it will be mentioned in the specs, under Slots and Storage. one tip, x16 has 2 meanings The length of the slot 9.5cm The number of lanes provided PCIE4 in this case is a x16 slot (length), but has only contacts for 4 lanes, which makes it a PCIE x16 slot running at 4 But it is all in the specs, on the website
	Kind Regards
