Question Z390 pcie bus lanes

[purpleberet14]

Hello! I recently acquired 2 500gb 970 evos and I would like to install them onto my Rog Maximus Xi hero wifi. I am using an RTX 2080 with a 9700k. Will I have enough pcie lanes to handle all of this hardware?

You'll be fine.

The cpu provides 16 lanes and the z390 chipset 24 = 40 lanes available.
The graphics card uses up to 16 and the drives ( 2x 4) use 8 = 24 lanes required.

Thank you so much! That was a really accurate breakdown
