Hello, guys, excuse my noobiness... But i'm confused about these PCI-E lanes and diagrams...
I've been looking at the supermicro's X11SSH-F and i've been having a problem understanding certain things.
on the motherboard's specs about expansion slots it shows:
I understand that there is one x16 slot and 2 x8 slots.(As it shows on the following diagram)
But what i don't understand is why it says x4 on the x8 slot and why it says x8 for the x16 slot... what does the "(in x16)" mean? what does it mean by "in"?
