pcie 5.0

Long post… Just wanted to vent a little bit after a long weekend of system builds, rebuilds, research and giving up on PCI-e Gen 5. Please don’t bash me, I know some of the issues are just a “me problem!” I know RAID is not recommended, blah, blah, blah. I did what I did to try it out. BIG...

Hello, I plan to build my second gaming PC, first one was made in 2017 and it was not optimal (poor airflow, too new components, settings newbe). Still i built a i7 7700k, 2 nvme m.2 drives in raid 0, gtx 1080, mini-itx system at the time, and it still performs today. Now I would like to...

Hello! I was wondering if my M.2 4x4 SSD will work on full speed if I install it in a M.2 5x0 slot? or will it only work as an 4x0? From my understanding I can physically install it but I do not know ware the 4 lane split is. I dont know if any manufacturer does motherboard with 5x0, but mine...

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...

My copy of GPU-Z (version 2.51.0) reports Bus Interface as "PCIe 4.0 @ 8x." First my ASUS ROG Extreme Z790 has a PCIe 5.0 x16 Bus Interface and my RTX 4090 has a PCIe 4.0 x16 Bus Interface. Correct reporting should be PCIe 5.0 x8 which is equivalent to PCIe 4.0 x16 in bandwidth. Yesterday I...

I have been reading plenty of posts for a couple of days that are saying that the new RTX GPUs will use PCIe 5.0 power cables and this time around the adapters might not work and even damage your hardware because of the cards high power requirement. Is that true? I bought a Corsair RM1000x not...

Hi, i am buying a desktop and i am choosing the components, i am seeing a motherboard with PCIe 5.0, my question is: in the expansion slots it says 1 x PCIe 5.0/4.0/3.0 x16 slot This means that this board also support pcie 5.0 for M.2 SSD drives like Samsung 980 Pro? Thanks The board is Asus...

Hello guys! I’m a PC enthusiast for quite some time. Until mid-2019 I’ve been an Intel “fan-boy”. But Intel started to lose their marketshare to AMD (and ARM). The next great platform from Intel that should get us all excited is the Alder Lake CPUs, on 10nm, with PCIe 4.0 / 5.0, and DDR5...

Hi tom'sHARDWARE, I use my PC for Gaming and Accounting purpose. my current PC configuration is as follows. Processor - i5 3rd gen 3550, mother board- P8-Z77-VLX ram - corsair vengeance DDR3 2X8GB...

He guys, Can someone please clarify the following for me: 1. From my basic understanding, laptop motherboards do not use PCIe connectors, so the entire discussion about PCIe 4.0 & 5.0 is irrelevant for laptops. Is this correct? What confused me is what when I look at the tech specs of M.2 NVMe...
