PCIe Slot Breakdown
PCIe Lane Distribution (All Socket 1151
processors are 16 lanes.)
PE1 – x1 (Gen3, x1 lanes from PCH)
PE2 – x16 (Gen3, x16 lanes from CPU, x8 shared with PE4)
PE3 – x1 (Gen3, x1 lanes from PCH, shared with M.2 Key-E)
PE4 – x16 (Gen3, x8 lanes from CPU, shares 8 of PE2’s 16 lanes)
PE5 – x1 (Gen3, x1 lanes from PCH)
PE6 – x16 (Gen3, x4 lanes from PCH)
M.2 Slot Breakdown
M.2 Lane Distribution
M.2 Key-M (80mm, Top) – x4 (Shares with SATA Port 0/1)
o
M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS
M.2 Key-M (80mm, Bottom) – x4 (Shares with SATA Port 4/5)
o
M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS
M.2 Key-E (32mm) – x1 (Shares with PE3)
o
M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS
This motherboard does NOT have any lane replication via PLX; all lanes are
native and derived from CPU or PCH. This also allows for improved backwards
compatibility for Gen 2 devices.
