tom's hardware needs to update their site .. I could get the quote feature to work with or without adblock, with or without disconnect .. loading or not loading unsafe scripts .. there were scripting errors even using a vanilla microsoft edge. the page takes forever to load because of their archealogically interesting implementation in javascript, and the bazillion ads, etc... anyway, moving on

It's still not enough. looks like the same problem as with early 3.0 (and even later 3.0) connectors, doesnt it?
2 x pcie3 = 15.76gbps theoretical maximum throughput .. that's enough for 1, but not 2 usb 3.1 ports.
> Because Z97 doesn't have PCIe 3.0 on the SATA-E connector. Two PCI 2.0 lanes would give you two USB 3.0 "Type C" ports instead, at least from the bandwidth perspective.
2 x pcie2 = 7.88gbps — enough for 1 but not 2 usb 3.0 ports.
There's an implementation issue in pci mobos, seems like.
