Ok i have done some messing about as i am mostly new to this.

Top PCIE 3.0 x16: IOU2
Middle PCIE 3.0 x16: IOU3
Lower PCIE 3.0 x8: IOU1

I now have the top slot (IOU2) in x4 mode, I had my GPU in there and gpuz said it was in x4 mode while it is a full x16 1080ti. However, I put that card in the middle slot (IOU3) and its now at x16 again.

I have put my card with 4 nvme drives in it into IOU2 and only one nvme device appear in windows and the uefi bios. All i did was change my 182B to x4x4x4x4 but i am unsure how to proceed.

@Lost_N_BIOS
Could you guide me in the right direction, please?

Zitat von Lost_N_BIOS im Beitrag #2
[...]but it will take you some trial and error to find which IOU1 is which slot on the board.

@Lost_N_BIOS do you still need help to figure this out? Maybe this is something I can do on Linux?

Is there anything else I can do to help with this mod?
I have the X79A-GD45 (8D), and the Asus Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4.

By the way, thank you very much for all your effort so far!!!
