H270/Z270 m.2 PCIe Mode Question

[hurricane51]

When running in PCIe mode, are the two m.2 slots on a Z270 chipset and H270 chipset equal in performance?

Forget about heat issues and SATA issues.

The ASUS H270 user guide says the m.2_1 runs at x32 Gb/s sec, while the m.2_2 slot only runs at 16GHz.

The Z270 guide does not mention anything about performance difference between the two slots.

Is this a specific difference in the Z270 chipset vs. the H270 chipset?

The ASUS H270 user guide says the m.2_1 runs at x32 Gb/s sec, while the m.2_2 slot only runs at 16GHz.

Have you got them really correct though?... Sounds very odd one being x32 Gb/s sec and the other being in GHz.

Right you Are. Gb/sec.

I am 90% sure they run the same as h270. 32 and 16 for the second.

Hmm. Thanks, but I'd like to be 100% sure one way or another before I buy.

Email Asus, or whoever the board company is. That's your best way to get the answer

Yeah, I did that a few days ago, but they have never been good at responding, at least in my experience. I'll try to get an answer by phone.
