Hello everyone,
First time posting here and I'd really appreciate the help! Free donuts for everyone!
My question is pertaining to the z97 WS motherboard from Asus. I am a little confused as to how the PCI-E lanes on these thing work - the max for z97 chipsets is 16 to the CPU and a couple are provided by the chipset for other extension cards besides the GPU (on a PCI-E 2.0 highway).
So, doing the math by Asus you get the option of having say 3 GPUs in a x16-x8-x8 configuration. Well, even if you have 32+ lane CPU how does the motherboard work with those settings if it support max 16 lanes (that is what I've read about the z97 online)?
Any clues would be greatly appreciate, gerbils
