M.2_1 and M.2_2 are PCIe 5.0 x4 with Ryzen 9000 and 7000. With Ryzen 8000, M.2_1 runs PCIe 4.0 x4 and M.2_2 is not supported. M.2_3 and M.2_4 are on the chipset at PCIe 4.0 x4. The page lists no M.2 SATA support, so sata is false for every slot. The overview page lists two M.2 heatsinks for three of the four slots. Reviews disagree on which slot has none, so the M.2_2 heatsink value is left out. The manual's shared bandwidth page also pairs M.2_4 with the PCIEX16(G4) slot, but its table shows no usable second configuration, so no sharing is stored for M.2_4.2Maker product pageasus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-x870e-plus-wifi7Read 14 October 2026Cooling overview: Two M.2 Heatsinks for Three M.2 Slots.3Owner's manualgzhls.at/blob/ldb/9/d/5/4/96832f248c2aec02ee024bf5037c041eacab.pdfRead 14 October 2026The page 'Connectors with shared bandwidth': PCIEX16(G5) runs x8 with M.2_2 at x4 (default) or x16 with M.2_2 off.
