M.2_1 slot (From CPU) - Supports up to PCIe 5.0 x4 (For Ryzen 9000/ 7000 Series processors) - Supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4 (For Ryzen 8000 Series processors)
M.2_2 slot (From CPU) - Supports up to PCIe 5.0 x4 (For Ryzen 9000/ 7000 Series processors) - Supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4 (For Ryzen 8700/ 8600/ 8400 Series processors)
*The M2_2 slot will be unavailable when using Ryzen 8500/ 8300 Series processors. **USB 40Gbps Type-C ports on the back panel and M2_2 slot share PCIe 5.0 x4 bandwidth. Both run at PCIe 5.0 x2 when a device is installed in the M2_2 slot. You can switch M2_2 to PCIe 5.0 x4 in the BIOS, but this will disable the USB 40Gbps Type-C ports. The USB4 host controller supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4.
