You bought the 690 Glacial board. The manual mentioned you couldn't run the GPU at X16 with a PCIE 5.0 SSD in the M.2_1 slot, but it said the M.2_2 slot is also connected to the CPU. You think you could use a PCIE 4.0 SSD in the M.2_2 slot at X4 and the GPU at X16. With the 112900K having 20 PCIe lanes, that would fit both the GPU at X16 and the M.2_2 slot at X4.

PCIe 5 compatibility exists only with 16 lanes, the remaining four operate at PCIe 4.0. Intel made some unclear decisions in certain areas.
