Discussion B550 Auros Elite AX V2 - Rev:1.1 (Pcie x16 x4 slot lane config)

[C0RLoCK]

I have one of these motherboards, and after looking at the literature on it I only find info on the GPU 16 slot, but I haven't been able to get any info on the remaining two 16x4 slots on the board and how they are configured, . Are they pcie 4.0, 3.0? Are the lanes shared or seperate from the other? I am thinking they would be useful for more NVME storage and I would appreciate any info I can get, thank you in advance.

After clicking on my version, the amount of useful info plummets, it goes from specsheet to a brochure, and that is where I was looking for the expansion slot specs. Thanks for linking me to the 1.0 version, it probably hasn't changed between 1.0-1.1 too much?

... I'm an idiot, never mind. It would help if I clicked on Specification. Cheers.

tech spec, no, shouldn't be any major change

This is somewhat frustrating. I'm trying to find out if my Ryzen 5 5600xt (24Lanes) on this board allow for full 16x GPU bandwidth, Full M.2 4.0 bandwidth in the CPU slot, and exactly how many lanes I can safely use on the chipset side of things... If I use both M.2 slots and my GPU, is that the full capacity? or can I add a 3rd M.2 via the 2nd 16x slot down with an adapter? Forgive my ignorance, I know computers somewhat, but I'm not a master by any means.
