[Guide] - How to Bifurcate a PCI-E slot

Hi, I am a new comer. I just want to say thank you to the author of this thread, for teaching how to Bifurcate the PCI-E slot by BIOS mod. I follow the guide and it works!

I can confirm Asrock Rack D1541D4U-2T2R can make bifurcate of the 2 PCIe buses (physically one long and one short, but electrically they are both 8x PCIe 3.0) . The bifurcation setting just hidden and can be enabled by easily mod of the BIOS. I tested by a 2 slot M.2 to PCIe adapter.

The method is here:

  1. Use AMIBCP to load the BIOS, find the IntelRCSetup → IIO, change “PCIe4 link width” , “PCIe6 link width” and “IIO0 Configuration” Access/Use to “USER”.
  2. Save, flash the BIOS
  3. Go into the BIOS and find the option, change to “x4x4” and “x4x4x8”
  4. Enjoy. :sunglasses:
