So I have the MAG Z590 TORPEDO mobo, and I was wondering if I used two m.2 slots if I would be taking a hit on performance, as my one M.2 is PCIE4.0.
Would It slow down each m.2 to x2 lanes instead of x4?

Since the GPU has x16 and that leaves x4 to the m.2 if I'm correct.
 
Solution
the first m.2 slot is connected directly to the cpu pcie controller since it uses pcie 4.0 up to x4 lanes. While the m.2 below the first one, is connected via chipset, so it wouldn't affect that much.
