That's likely to be incorrect. Intel CPU usually have 48 lanes for the
Skylake generation. The 4 lanes limitation only applies to what is
connected over DMI to the PCH, which is usually used for low-bandwidth
stuff (1G NIC, SATA, 1x PCIe slots). Look at your motherboard manual to
check how many lanes are affected to each component.
