(BEFORE YOU COMMENT ABOUT A BOARD WITH M.2 SSD, I have one , Plextor M6e PX-G256M6e and I HATE it, its is not any faster then my Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 240s. And it is A Witch to secure erase! )
Hello , Made A post about A month ago that it is time to upgrade mobo / cpu ect ect. The Issue I was having with the z97 / 4790k is the Lack of PCI-E lanes .. inlesss the board has A PLX chip. The 4790k only has 16 Lanes, So I can run 2x GPUs at 8x ea. I want too run 2x GPUs (8x ea), 1sound card at 1x and one PCI-E SSD at 4x.
Their are A few boards that PLX chips on them in the z97 / 87 / 77 (1150) ...
The Asus Maximus VII has no PLX chip ... and its one of the ones I am kind of leaning toward .. it OCs well and looks very nice. Would fit for my theme build.
Expansion Slots
PCI Express 3.0 x16
2
PCI Express 2.0 x16
1 (x4 mode)
PCI Express x1
3
Mini Card Slots
1 x mini-PCIe 2.0 x1
So based on this .. are the PCI-E 3.0 and 2.0 on diffrent lanes ? .. Could I run the 2x GPUS on 8x 3.0s and then the Sound card and SSD on the 2.0s ?
Just for info, the GPUs are 2x780 ti , Sound card is ASUS Xonar Phoebus and SSD will be ASUS ROG RAIDR (maybe A G.SKILL Phoenix Blade ),
Will all 4 of these cards work on this board.
Also this board has on Molex or PCI-e plug too give the board extra power for PCI-E slots .. will it burn out the Main plug.
