pci-e

Hi everyone! I might have to install a new Optane drive soon, which will require a U2 to PCI-E adapter for my motherboard PRIME Z690-A . As you can see, there's only one x4 PCI-E slot available, but due to the M2 heatsink next to it (with light brown stripes), I don't believe the U2 to PCI-E...

I have a PC based on an ASUS Prime B350-plus motherboard (latest BIOS 6203) and a Ryzen 5 5600g. After installing any extension card (GPU/Wi-Fi/etc) in the any PCI-e slot, boot process behaves as follows: I turn on the PSU, the system and CPU fans spins, the RGB works, after a moment all the...

Hi folks, So I have a pretty simple question regarding the RTX 4090 12VHPWR power adapter that's to come with most 4090 cards so that older PSUs are able to run these brand new GPUs. From the images I've seen, there appears to be the main single connection to the 4090 cards that you plug in...

Hi! My PCI-e cables from my PSU wont seem to fit into my GPU. I have the two 8 pin connected to the PSU but the 6+2 pins just wont seem to fit on the graphics card itself. Ive noticed that one of the plastic "guiding" pieces on the cables (male) is different from the one on the GPU (female)...

Hello! I have recently obtained a second 3080 for my rendering machine and installing it leaves only a tiny gap between the cards with my current Asus Tuf x570 motherboard. They are two massive three-slot cards. The heat is just too much. I have been thinking of getting an Asus Pro WS X570-ACE...

I would like to get an extender for my pci-e cables. I have 2 cables, both have a 6+2, and I would like to extend them to another 6+2 just longer. Would using an extender that's a 6 to 6+2 work if I just connected it to the 6 part of the original cord?

Hiya, I'm noticing recently that my internet connection seems to be extremely poor in comparison to what it should be. My download speed is a max of 1mb/s, mostly hovers at less than 500kb or less, and often drops out completely, usually just for a second but sometimes up to 5. I'm pretty sure...

As you may know, GPU risers are composed of two PCBs, one to be connected to a PCI-E slot on motherboard, and the other one has a PCI-E x16 slot for the graphics card. When I insert the former PCB in a PCI-E x1 slot on this 10+ years old motherboard, there is some short, and consequently, two...

So I've bought Gigabyte 3060Ti Gaming OC Pro, but didn't noted that it comes with extra 6-pin PCI-e connector compared to non-Pro version. Problem is I have older PSU that comes only with single 6+2 PCI-e connector, which if possible I would rather avoid to replace. PSU in question is Chieftec...

Anyone know if there's a company that sells a triple version of these kinds of cables? I've looked all over Newegg and Amazon. Note: I don't mean from Lian Li specifically, just any company that sells a triple 6 + 2 pin PCI-E cable version.

Hello, drawing a bit of a blank now. I have an RTX 2070 , with an 8+6 connector on it. My power supply has three eight pins labeled (6+2) for PCI-E. I bought two eight pin cables thinking I could just cut the extra two pins off , but my computer couldn't boot like this. Do I need to buy an 8 to...

Hi, I would appreciate it if you could help me with the problem I had with the PC I just installed. I think the problem is with the video card. The video card is connected to the monitor with a Display Port cable. When I turn on the computer while the PCI-E cable (there are 4 ends, I tried...

I've been getting into music production and my dad gave me this old MIDI expansion card for my PC that he payed a forture for back in the early 2000s. This would be great, but at the moment I've got a B-350 motherboard which has no PCI 3 slots and this is a PCI 3 card. This is probably not...

Hey, I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex 7010. I have no way of getting an ethernet cable in my room as my router is downstairs so I have had to order a PCI-E WiFi adaptor, I know that these fit in PCI-E slots, (16x 1x etc.), however I can't put it in the 1x slot as my GPU blocks it. Are you...

View: https://imgur.com/a/16j7NhW As you can see there are 2 ends on the PCIe Cable both are 6+2. But shouldnt one go into the PSU and the other into the GPU? Because one more end which can not be unplugged goes directly into the PSU. Does that mean I have 2 6+2 pins available for the GPU...

I am looking to buy an RX 570, as it seems to be the best bang for buck GPU out there at the moment, however there is an issue. My PSU does not have any 8 pin PCI-E connectors, and although upgrading the PSU itself is the obvious answer, for now at least id rather go with the cheaper option and...

Random question: I have 1 128GB M.2 SSD and 1 256GB SSD. The M.2 I bought from CEX last year and the 256GB came from the onboard M.2 slot on a dead Dell motherboard. Not sure of specs of either other than the fact that both have 2 notches in the connectors so they'll fit B or M key slots without...

I recently picked up a RX 580 graphics card, It has an 8 pin connector and a 6 pin connector, from what I understand the 6 pin is technically optional unless you plan to overclock, but I'd like to get the 6 pin filled if I can. But I'm running into a problem. My PSU (a Corsair CX 550m) Has...

I am looking to buy a new computer for about £750. I'm basing it off this PC from CyberPowerSystem. There is a 1TB Seagate BarraCuda SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 7200RPM hard drive, which seems to be ok for my needs (I might upgrade to 2TB, though). As for the SSD, the current selection is a 240GB ADATA...
