Its in a way that it share the 32 lanes if you use both lanes one will become 32 and other will give 8 lanes that become 40 lanes at total it happens with 16 lane PCI as well.<br />

Hi.<br />
<br />
I am using a i7-4820k and accordng to the manufactural web page the CPU can take a maximum of 40 PCI lanes.<br />
Now i know that the GTX 690 is considered dual 680s, but it only takes one physical PCI lane. So does this apply logically or physical? Does the 690 take 32 lanes or normal 16?

Does a GTX 690 take 32pci lanes off a CPU?

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
