[SOLVED] PCIe speed - Bifurcation

[puzzledpiri]

Hi guys,

I'm currently using a Asus Rampage IV Formula with a xenon e5-1650, and just bought a Asus Hyper x16 m.2 adapter.

The adapter works like a riser card for 4 m.2 cards, and should run at x4x4x4x4.

After buying everything I noticed my mobo won't let me adjust the bifurcation, so only one card is detected.

I now went ahead and tried nodding the bios and changed the bifurcation, but I can still only see 1 stick.
Is there any app which shows you what bifurcation it is running at?

I want to know if my bios mod worked in the first place.

Thanks!

Thanks Calvin, but with a little bit of nodding it is possible for other motherboards as well.

It works now for me, I just had to make all pages in the bios visible and I could then change it, also needed to add a nvme module to it from the x299 module. If anyone is interested in the solution please let me know.
