Hi, i have a z270 a and i was wondering which PCIe lane are connected to the CPU and which are to the chipset.
Unfortunately the manual says nothing at all.
I'm currently at 13 GPU, but i want to get more on the board. I know there are a few lanes left, gotta found them.

Anyone that knows how the lanes are split?

Chipset Z270 has 24 lines of PCI-E and other lines depend on the processor. M.2 SATA are connected to the chipset.
The following shows the hardware connection (top to bottom):
PCIe 3.0 x1       x1 (Z270)      
PCIe 3.0 x16   x16/x8 (CPU)   
PCIe 3.0 x1   x1 (Z270)   
PCIe 3.0 x1   x1 (Z270)   
PCIe 3.0 x16   x8 (CPU)   
PCIe 3.0 x1   x1 (Z270)   
PCIe 3.0 x16   x4 (Z270)
