Hello all, I have an ASUS Crossair VIII Hero, powered by a Ryzen 5900x and the GPU (3090) is attached to the PCI-1. Can I run the card fully loaded (4 Samsung 970 Evo) on the PCI-2? Thanks in advance for your support. LG Hugo

Hello Hugo,

unfortunately not possible...
The Ryzen processors and mainboards have too few PCIe lanes (24 lanes - 4 for chipset -4 for NVME -16 for graphics card).
Digitec description for your mainboard:
"Two PCIe 4.0 slots in x16 format are available for graphics cards, which are directly connected to the Ryzen 3000 processor via a total of 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes".
You can assign 8 lanes to your graphics card and 2x 4 lanes to the second slot (PCIe bifurcation), so you could equip the card with 2x SSD.
