Greetings - On what platforms does ASRock support PCIe Bifurcation?

I have a Mini-ITX application in need of bifurcating the x16 PCIe on an ASRock motherboard (such as the IMB-181-D, preferably) and would like to know if this feature is supported in the BIOS or can be added, as was the case in the X99e-ITX. If not the IMB-181-D (strong preference) is such support available on the IMB-190/191 boards (though I see no x16 board yet available in the newer skylake supporting IMB family)

Thanks in advance

LVDS won't get it for your application?

Intel states the Q87 chipset has only 8 PCIe lanes available anyways.

This bifurcating the lanes is most likely a question I would direct you to ask via ASRock Tech Support http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp" rel="nofollow - HERE .
