Damn...I was afraid of that being the case.  Thank you for clarification.  Might have to think about losing my sound card now....

^^ Is true.




"" **If M.2 PCI Express module is installed, PCIE5 slot will be disabled.""

That means if an M.2 is inserted in the motherboard mounted Ultra M.2 slot then PCIe5 will be unavailable.

Hey all,

Curious about something with my M.2 port and PCIe 5 slot.  I have the ASROCK x99x Fatality Killer 3.0 board and the manual states that if a M.2 PCIe is used, then the PCIe 5 slot will be disabled.  

Is this true only for a PCIe based M.2?  In other words, if the M.2 was connected to a card in which you then add to a PCIe slot.  OR...is it true if you have the M.2 connected directly to the M.2 slot itself.  

Im asking because I need to use the PCIe 5 slot to add the ASROCK thunderbolt add in card and thats the only open slot I have left and need to know if they M.2 drive is gonna screw me...


Thank you!
Jim
