I have tested this on a number of motherboards and with different power supplies, so I’m confident that it’s an issue with the gpu itself. I have been building computers for well over 10yrs and have never seen this issue before, nor can I find anyone else posting experience of it online. I’m...

Hi, Recently was wondering why I had bad performance on one specific map in CS:GO, someone mentioned having a similar issue to me and that changing the GPU slot made it run in the correct bandwidth fixing some of their issues. I checked on GPU-Z wondering if my GPU was also running in the...

Hello. I recently ran out of space on my SSD with my OS on it, so I figured I’d buy a larger one. Bought a Samsung m.2 card on amazon and plugged it into the m.2 slot on my Asus Maximus VII Hero LGA1150 Motherboard. The card was receiving power but not being recognized in disk manager. That is...

Hi everybody, I have a very basic and cheap Mobo Gigabyte H310M. I've had it for years now and it's working great. However, I've ran out of Sata Slots for SSD's and was looking into m.2. What I found out, is that I can use this mobo's PCIE slot to plug in an adapter, that can hold m.2 SSD...

Hello all! I see a ton of information about various issues regarding using a M.2 on a PCIe riser (I'm veteran enough not to be scared of BIOS settings). But not a whole lot on whether it is a good idea to put an OS on a expansion slot. I'm running a 5950x on a Dark Hero with a 3090. I have a...

Every spec sheet and web description that I can find of the Dell Precision T3400 workstation's expansion bus slots mentions "Two PCIe x16 GRAPHICS slots".

Hello all! I'm looking for a male PCIe 16x to female PCIe 4x riser cable if that is such a thing. I find plenty of 16x - 16x cables, but less cables intended to mate a smaller card with the normal large slot. The application is a Mini-ITX build with a huge PCIe 4x card that is going to not have...

I know this problem has been pointed out a few times, and that there isn't much of difference between x4 and x16, but it's something that really bothers me. I tried reseating the gpu, blow the dust (compressed air), updated the bios, drivers, bios settings but nothing worked. Specs. R5 1600 Rx...

Hi. Since I have a large heatsink (Noctua NHD14), I can't use the first PCI slot on the motherboard and I have to use the second one. GPUz tells me it's running at x8. The thing is that I thought the secondary slot would go to x8 ONLY if you were using SLI/Crossfire, but if you put a SINGLE gpu...

In the UEFI you can set the GPU's PCIE lane version on what version you want it, my question is if you set the lane to.....let's say version 3.0, will the lane of the NVME drives also change to that version? Correct me if I'm wrong and I am surely wrong, to my knowledge or how I understand NVME...
