Interesting. Looking at the Specs page of Apex it says the DIMM.2 module uses "PCH_DIMM.2" so maybe it uses the chipset lanes not CPU lanes? That's different compared to the Gene and Extreme where it says "CPU_DIMM.2." Hence, GPU-Z still displaying x16 for your GPU.

Damn, lucky you guys. Hope it gets available in Newegg/Amazon before the month ends.
Looking at specs page of Apex
Intel® Z390 Chipset :
1 x ROG DIMM.2 Module support(PCH_DIMM.2), with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (SATA & PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)
1 x ROG DIMM.2 Module support(PCH_DIMM.2), with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)
It's clear that it uses the chipset lanes and GPUZ confirms it so the manual is probably wrong then.

Hi there,
so two days ago I received my M11A Board. Before I was using the M11H so it was just a swap.
I am using one M.2 NVME SSD (Samsung 970 Pro) and the only way to use one on the M11A seems to be through the DIMM.2 Module.
My question is - is the DIMM.2 Module on the M11A wired to the CPU or to the PCH? Because if it is wired to the CPU wouldn't it decrease the available PCI-E Lanes to the GPU as there are only 16 available - making the GPU just run @ PCI-E 8x?
The manual does explicitly say so, though hwinfo and gpu-z report my GPU using PCI-E 16x.
I am thoroughly confused.
Is there a wire diagram for the M11A like there was for other ROG Boards in the past?
Thanks in advance.
