Hi guys how are you? I have X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI Motherboard, today i received one nvme i already have one at the x4 slot, this one i installed at the x2 port at the bottom, it works but my Soundblaster Ax5 card stops working with the nvme installed, if i remove the bottom nvme it comes back working What can i do to solve this issue?
You need to check your pcie configuration. Someone motherboards divide their lanes and share them across multiple interfaces - for example some boards share their sata ports with m.2 ports - if you use an m.2, it will disable the sata ports or vice versa. This could be happening to you. Can you try installing your sound card into another pci-e slot? From the Gigabyte specification page https://www.gigabyte.com/uk/Motherboard/X470-AORUS-GAMING-7-WIFI-rev-10/sp#sp So, you need to move your sound card into a separate slot.
Thanks I had to use the pci 1x in the top of the card, not the best solution... but the only one that worked
