PCIe 4.0

Looking at the specifications for the MSI X570 A-Pro it tells me there's one M.2 slot supporting PCIe 4.0 and another supporting only PCIe 3.0. I already have a PCIe 3.0 drive connected to the 4.0 slot and I'm planning on buying a 4.0 drive, moving the current drive to the 3.0 slot and...

Just got my new build running Asus Z790-I motherboard i5-13600k CPU WD Black 2 TB NVME RTX 4070 GFX 2 x 16 GB DDR5 RAM How can I check if my system or some parts is using PCIe 4.0 or 3.0? And something about lanes.. Maybe the gfx card is at 3.0 and that would be "ok". But for other parts I want...

GPU Performance on PCIe 4.0 vs 5.0 Motherboard I am planning of building a gaming PC with a motherboard that supports PCIe 5.0 16x for the GPU. But, I would like to know if the future RTX 7000 series GPU would have a negligible performance loss on a mother board with PCIe 4.0? If the...

Issue: A few seconds after using the Kingston PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (copying files to it or installing a game or app) it stops working and the ssd is not recognized any longer. History: - I received the SSD a couple of days ago, since the first PCIe 4.0 port was partially covered by the cooler...

Hey good people, I've built my first pc but I've faced a problem. My motherboard has 2 gpu slots, one is gen 4 and the second is gen 3. Both the 4060 and the MSI MAG B660 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR5 mobo are brand new so they can't be defective. When I put the gpu in the 4th gen slot, nothing is...

Hello everyone! My motherboard uses PCIe 3.0 x4. I'm thinking of getting an NVMe with a maximum read speed of 3500MB/s. Is there any difference between choosing a PCIE 4.0 NVMe that has 3500MB/s or PCIE 3.0 NVMe that ALSO has 3500MB/s. What would perform better?

Hello I’ve searched for days without an answer.. my gpu is currently running on PCIe 3.0 x8.. i want it to run on PCIe 4.0 16x.. GPU is in the correct slot.. (top slot) my motherboard - asrock b550m pro4 My gpu - rx 6650 shappire pulse 8gb

Bought an MSI Ventus RTX 3060 ti OC 3x (upgrade from a GTX 1070 ti) and it worked for about a minute. I loaded Resident Evil 7 with ray tracing on high and after a minute or so of in-game action it force restarted my PC. Tried to figure out MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner to get GPU temps etc to...

Hi all, I've recently been looking for a M.2 SSD to buy to upgrade from my old hard drive storage solution. I found a SSD on Amazon that is in my price range and has good reviews. I checked my motherboard manual for compatibility and it says "The M.2 port supports either M.2 SATA 6GB/s module or...

After trying to narrow down the cause (https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/windows-10-stuck-on-loading-dots.3745394/#post-22615583) I've found how to reproduce it, simply setting in bios the first slot as auto or PCIe 4.0 will make my Windows unable to boot 99% of the time. It posts and when...

I learned from another thread I posted that PCIe4 is better than PCIe3 for performing statistical and mathematical analyses using big data. Currently everything I have is PCIe3 components. Due to compatibility issue, I need to upgrade all the main components (motherboard, SSD, CPU) to...

Is only one of the M2 slots on this motherboard compatible with PCIe 4.0 Hard Drives? In slot one I currently have a Samsung 960 EVO 250Gb SSD which I believe is PCIe 3.0 I also have a Samsung 870 QVO 2Tb SATA drive (not M2) Will PCIe M2 SSD's only work in slot 1? If I put a PCIe 4.0 M2...

I am a getting ready to upgrade my motherboard, cpu, and ssd and I want to go with a fast Gen 4 nvme ssd. For price going intel 11600k with a z590 motherboard is the most reasonable. The ASRock Pro4 I am looking at advertises Gen 4 compatibility (and a PCIE 4 slot) However, on the Wikipedia...

Hi Team, I am planning to upgrade to Intel 10/11 Gen CPUs and I am confused between i5-11400 and i5-10400 models. The 10400 is considerably cheaper(almost 30%) in my city due to high demand for 11400 but the 11400 seems to be slightly more future-proof because of its support for PCIE 4.0 Is it...

Hi, I've been thinking of adding some higher capacity SSD for a bit but wasn't actually gonna pull the trigger before getting a new graphics card as well. Now I hadn't really read up on what to get yet but saw what looked like a decent deal last week and got the Samsung 980 Pro NVMe M.2 for 140€...

I sold my PC for a laptop, which was a terrible decision, and now I am in the process of repurchasing PC parts, but I was wondering, with all of the new series of features that will be arriving, like DDR5 and Intel's Alder Lake, I was wondering if it is better to spend much less on PC parts now...

If I install my old Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD into the PCIe 4.0 compatible M.2 slot, will it work? I know the 960 EVO is not PCIe 4.0, but will it work in the PCIe 4.0 slot? Or should I install it in the M.2_2 slot? I am using the Intel i5-11400 cpu, so that cpu is compatible with PCIe 4.0 M.2...

Hello everybody, sorry this might be a dumb question but when doing some research it seems like my Ryzen 5900hx processor in my laptop only supports PCI-E 3.0 officially on AMD's website. However, when I go into CPU-Z and go to the mainboard tab it states that it is actually running a PCI-E 4.0...

Just installed a Samsung 980 Pro drive and installed the latest version of Samsung Magician (software and firmware are up to date). However, the drive health part of the tool doesn't specify the drive condition or TBW, its just blank and comes up with "N/A". It does recognize my drive correctly...

Hi guys, I've heard that SSD speed boost through the NVMe protocol mainly applies to sequential data reads/writes (e.g. 4K editing) rather than to random reads/writes (e.g. gaming, office apps). In other words the article claimed that for random reads/writes NVMe is not much faster than SATA...

Hi, I installed a new RTX 3060 ti from KFA2 and got 1 long beep and then 3 short beeps. Since it is working flawlessly afaik, i guess it has something to do with PCIe 4 but want to have another view on that. MB: ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger CPU: i5-7700k I tried taking it out and putting it back in...

will my 1050ti will be compatible with PCIE 4.0 ??

As the title says what would be the best graphics card. Intel doesn’t yet support pcie 4.0 so would an Intel chip become a bottleneck? What about AMD which does support it? Will it make a noticeable difference?

I'm considering to build a new multi-GPU system to train deep learning models. I'm hoping to be able to use the rumoured Nvidia RTX 3090 GPUs, hence want to chose a motherboard and CPU that also supports PCIe 4.0. In this context, for a system with 6 GPUs, I could use an AMD EPYC Rome CPU and...

I'm doing a new PC build, and I went with two m.2 SSDs. Both 1TB, one is PCIe gen4 and the other is PCIe gen 3. When the gen 4 ssd is in the gen 4 slot, and gen 3 ssd is in the gen 3 slot, the motherboard doesn't seem to recognize both. However, if I switch the two, they both show up in the...

I just bought a b450 motherboard since I didn't really want to pay more for a b550 or x570 board. I am wondering if the next RTX series will need PCIE 4.0. From my research it looks like it probably won't and also I would only get something like an rtx 3070 or 3060 super.
