Rules

Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

Rog Strix Z590-E Gaming WiFi board 11th Gen i7-11700K M.2 installed in M.2_1 slot No other m.2 slots used 1 SATA SSD installed Rtx 3050 installed in top pcie slot

System runs good minus the fact my GPU is running at x8 instead of x16.

I was under the impression with an 11th gen cpu the m.2_1 slot would be at x4 and the PCIe at x16.

If this is incorrect, is there an m.2 slot I can get x4 speeds and run my GPU at x16?

RTX 3050 cards only utilize eight physical PCI Express lanes.
