Hello,
I'm about to build a new PC based on an AMD ryzen 2700 and a B450 motherboard. I'm not planning to overclock. So, from what I have read a "MSI B450 gaming pro carbon ac" seems a good choice (even something cheaper would do it).
My question is something that I think it's clearly explained but: If I connect a ssd to the M2_2 slot , then PCI_E2, PCI_E3, PCI_E4 and PCI_E5 slots will be unavailable (as noted in the user manual).
Ok so it means that then there is no possibility to connect an PCI expansion card, like video capture, sound card, etc..., isn't it?
So, when using a M2 in such an slot using that chipset, it's better to go for a mATX form factor, as the extra PCI slots will be unabailable?
Am I correct or I'm missing something?
Thanks for your help.
