10th gen Intel processors are not available on z590 boards.
I checked about using a 10th gen chip on a z590 board, but it looks like some drives might be blocked in the PC part picker. That’s why you’re asking—especially since you have a budget-friendly board with everything you need and the 10700k is only $270 at Microcenter.
The board is the one you're using, and it seems the issue arises when switching to an NVMe drive while disabling the shared SATA lanes. No prior generation chip has been linked to this problem.
The 10th generation processors offer 4 fewer PCIe connections, which means certain 500-series cards may turn off the highest M.2 port when the 10th gen is used.
Sorry about that! The system warns you that using a Rocket Lake CPU might disable one of the M.2 slots. The Z590 Aorus Elite Ax model is mentioned.
This aligns with the information provided earlier. I understood it means two drives were turned off, which was noticeable across several lanes. It makes sense now.
It might be caused by four fewer lanes or something else. Both answers seem plausible.
They represent the same concept from various viewpoints. I mentioned the 10th generation had four less, while Kilrah noted the 11th generation has four more.
Most mainstream Intel processors have featured 16 lanes in the primary PCIe port, and the latest generation adds four more for SSD support.
