PCIe 16x

(Apologies ahead of time if this is very long) I've never built a PC before and I'm very confused about how X670E motherboards will be utilizing PCIe lanes with a 7950x, more specifically geared toward my use case though since not many people are using more than two M.2's. I'll be running a...

So, this problem is bugging me and I cannot find a solution. So as I said when I checked my PCIe bus lane I found out my graphic card is currently running in x2 1.1 instead of x16. there is only one PCIe lane and I am sure it x16 my PC specs are Intel I5 4570 10 GB ram Gtx 1050ti 450 watt power...

How to check if motherboard is killing video cards? I checked the connectors with a digital multimeter because I had a video card a 760 that came in that didn't work with a graphical glitches in BIOS and startup and gave me a code 43, and actually similar glitches to a r9 290x that died on that...

I just noticed an issue with my GPU not running at the correct speed. It is running at 4 x8 instead of x16. I first became aware of the issue when I turned my PC on and I got a message to say my gpu was running at PCIE gen 3 speeds. I am not sure why the change happened but I was alerted to it...

<SOLVED> I've had a motherboard for a while that has had a problem... The top PCIE x16 slot works with an old GT 710 (pcie 2.0x8 runs @x8) but not a gtx 1650 (pcie3.0x16). Both gpus work Chipset x16@x4 slot works with both GTX 1650 does not have power connectors I doubt it is a psu issue BIOS...

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...

Hello everyone, thank you in advance for reading this, and i hope you can help me! So I upgraded my pc build recently, cause my old one was having trouble running anything but windows. To start off I got a good deal on a 1 and a half year used GPU (ASROCK amd RX 6700 xt Phantom gaming), and...

My GPU is stuck on PCIe v4.0 x4 but it's supposed to be running at x16 ? I am also losing noticeable performance in games and applications. All monitoring software are reporting that GPU is running on x4 only. (CPU-z, HWinfo, Nvidia control panel). Benchmark also shows loss of performance...

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...

My top PCIe slot has not worked since I acquired this mobo from a friend. I have been running my AMD RX 480 8gb card in the bottom PCIe, but was wondering if that has any effect on the performance I am getting playing games. If I understand correctly, my top is PCIe 3.0 x16 mode and the bottom...

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...
