Inquiry about PCI lanes, GPU specifications, and M.2 NVMe drives.
You're considering adding more NVMe drives to your setup. The 4 PCIe 4.0 slots should accommodate additional drives without affecting GPU performance, as long as you don't exceed the lane limits. Your existing drives (500GB and 1TB) are fine for storage tasks like Primocache or game files. For gaming, extra NVMe drives won't significantly impact performance unless they cause bottlenecks, which is unlikely with proper configuration.
As per the schematic in the guide, every m.2 port operates independently, with the CPU-connected port being the upper two ports while others link to the chipset.
