Hi!

My motherboard is the ASRock X670E Taichi.

My video card (RTX 5070) is mounted in my PCIe x16 (top slot), it can't be mounted in the bottom slot.

In the PCIe x8 (bottom slot) I have a U.2 to PCIe 4.0 x4 adapter card, with an Intel Optane SSD in it.

In the future, I'd like to buy a second Optane SSD, and mount both Optane drives in a dual adapter card, as the Glotrends PU21, or the Delock 90091.

However, the available PCIe bifurcation options of my motherboard (when both PCIe slots are used) are:
1. x8x8 = bottom & top PCIe slots run in x8 mode.
2. x8x4x4 = bottom PCIe slot runs in x8 mode & top PCIe slot runs in x4x4 mode.
3. x4x4x4x4 = both bottom & top PCIe slots run in x4x4 mode.

I would need a 4th option:
x4x4x8 mode = bottom slot to run in x4x4 mode & top slot to run in x8 mode.

I've suggested it to the ASRock Support Team.
They've replied to me, saying that they will send this request to their BIOS team.

I'll wait & see.
