> Most AM4 boards put an x16 slot direct to the CPU, and an x4 direct linked NVMe slot. That's 20 of the 24 lanes; the other 4 lanes go to the chipset, which all the rest of the peripherals are behind. (There's some USB and other I/O from the cpu, too). AM5 CPUs added another 4 lanes, which is usually a second cpu x4 slot.

Mine just go to second NVMe weirdly enough.

I meant to say the additional x4 is usually a second cpu x4 [NVMe] slot. Not a pci-e x4 slot.
