great condition moving to a Z270 board. I have paypal.

We used a ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 for the testbench of our 1080 mini review.
It's a terrific motherboard and it was an absolute pleasure to work with.
I highly recommend it to anyone interested.
Good luck with the sale!
Mind explaining how it supports that compared to others? Is it cause it separates the lanes from the CPU to the GPU to both the GPU and the M.2 instead of through the chipset?
AFAIK it splits the lanes devoted to the GPU into 8x 8x instead of the full 16x. It's been shown however that the performance decrease is pretty negligible. You do however need a special riser in order to use this functionality.Mind explaining how it supports that compared to others?

Yeah, the performance decrease is negligible, I'm just wondering why ASRock went through the trouble of wiring that from the CPU instead of the previously done method of running it through the chipset to enable the use of both the SATA or PCIe bus.AFAIK it splits the lanes devoted to the GPU into 8x 8x instead of the full 16x.

Yeah, I was wondering why ASRock chose to do it that way instead of through the chipset in boards such as the VII Impact.The x16 lanes for the PCIe slot are all from the CPU.
A bifurcation riser splits those x16 into x8/x8. So the chipset isn't involved.
I get that as well, I just don't understand why they chose to split the lanes from the CPU to the main PCIe slot instead of using ones from the chipset.The lanes for the main PCIe slot/s are always through the CPU these days.
Sorry OP spent my budget this week...so much talk not much want lol
The specifics vary by generation, but generally Intel chipsets only have a PCIe 2.0/3.0 x4 link to the CPU.
