The DIMM 2 Modul supports 2 x M.2 so that does make 4 in total.
Not 100% sure it will work till I give it a go.

Hi, the onboard slots are wired via the PCH, so are bottlenecked by the DMI bus. It is also possible to use all four at the same time.

Hi! Thanks for your response! Does this mean, that if I use the onboard M.2 slots, I won't be able to use my M.2 SSDs at their maximum write and read speeds? Is this becouse the DMI 3.0 has a maximum throughput of 3.94 GB/s? 970 EVO 2TB has max read speed of 3500 mb/s, and write speed of 2500 mb/s. But doesn't NVME connect straight to the PCIe bus?
So all in all: is the main purpose of DIMM.2's existence to use M.2 drives through DIMM.2 and gain maximum write and read speeds of SSDs without any bottleneck?

You can benchmark the speeds within Crystal Disk, the penalty shouldn’t be that great. DIMM.2 utilises CPU lanes, the others as stated above are via the PCH.

And what about using two 970 EVOs in DIMM.2 slot, and the other two in a PCIE expansion card instead of onboard slots? Would this combination let me use the NVME SSDs full write and read speeds?
