I examine the motherboard details provided. It doesn’t specify whether the PCIe slots are on the CPU or the PCH. But it mentions that using both 16 slots turns them into x8, suggesting a CPU-based configuration rather than a split between CPU and PCH. So you’d likely need a CPU to achieve that setup.

These two components are likely connected to the central processing unit.

The main rig wasn't listed in the manual, which is surprising since it's something important. More manufacturers should include it!
