ProArt Z890-CREATOR M.2_5 slot sharing clarification

[RP22]

I'm reading the manual while building a new system with the ProArt Z890-CREATOR and an Ultra 9 CPU. Page 24 of the manual states: "M.2_5 slot shares bandwidth with PCIe 4.0 x16 slot. When M.2_5 slot is operating, PCIe 4.0 x16 slot will be disabled."

Does anyone know if it's the adjacent/nearby PCIEX16(G4) or PCIEX16(G5)_2 slot that will be disabled?

Thanks

Hello @RP22 

Thank you for reaching out to us.
In addition to reviewing the specifications for Expansion Slots on pages 8 and 9 in the ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI user manual, you may also refer to the section Connectors with shared bandwidth:

This section outlines all the slots affected by shared bandwidth, indicating that other slots not listed here will not be impacted by shared bandwidth.

Thank you.

Thank you Jiaszzz_ASUS. Building a new system is exciting but always a bit stressful and I missed that page. All's good (I hope <g>)
