I got a deal on a AB350N + Ryzen 7 1700 + 16GB RAM with a noctua cooler for 250$. I jumped on the deal and when I came home realized bifurcation isn't a thing.

The board needs a GPU which only leaves the NVME slot free.

I need two PCIe 1x slots for some capture cards.

Can I turn the NVME into a PCIe 1x?

I know of a couple b350 chipset boards that can do bifurcation. Is there an updated / modded firmware for the AB350N I can pick up anywhere that would let me turn one of the slots into two 1x PCIe?

Thanks!
