PCIe lanes

I have 4 monitors running off a 4070 Ti. One is a 4K projector (playing GSPro at 4K) and the others are 24" screens showing swing cameras and the launch monitor software with its video. Looking at the Activity Viewer, I can see that I'm often running the 4070 Ti at 100%. I'm thinking of adding...

I am trying to understand the PCIe lane issue for Intel and AMD motherboards. I'm looking to upgrade my MB, if not my system. Here is a list of my desires, in approximate order of importance: Abundant power to run 4 monitors at once (one of which is a projector at 4K) Yes, this is a golf...

I am upgrading to an i7 3770 from the i5 3470s. OLD? Yes, but I found some really great bargains and for the work and light gaming I do, it will suffice. My current motherboard is a generic "Esonic H61FEL" which I am planning to give to my uncle (along with the i5 and 4gb ram) to use as a media...

I'm starting to consider building a new PC partly to get past some current issues and bring it more up-to-date for the SSD world we're in now. However, at least for my Skylake-era PC, I've found that PCI lanes became a concern I never had before. While in previous PCs I'd have fun adding...

My cpu has 16 pcie lanes limit and my mother board has 6 pcie x1 slots and i have mounted 6 gpus using pcie risers.yesterday I saw this 1 to 4 converter for risers and now I'm hoping if i can use this converter to mount more than 6 gpus Cuz they only use pcie x1 and 1 pcie lane =1 pciex1 slot...

Hey guys, Today I would like to ask you how to configure the NVMe adapter from Asus. I had earlier a B550 which had 3 NVMe slots but once I switched to X570, I had to find a solution to mount an additional 2 NVMe in one adapter (earlier had 1 additional PCIe NVMe adapter). My current config...

I'm thinking about down sizing my PC to a mini-itx build and have been looking into various motherboards. I wanted one that had 2 slots for M.2 NVME drives and settled on the X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI. I will have one drive for boot, and various files, and the other for games and design work. I...

So I’m going with amd for this build my last build had a 6700k. I want to have all nvme storage this is purely a gaming rig but I have 3 Nvme m.2 as well as a 3090 ftw3. Will the 5900x have enough pcie 4.0 lanes to support all this? I guess I’m a little confused about how pcie lanes work because...

I am building a new PC for ryzen 3600x or 3700x or 2700x for which while comparing the chipsets of motherboard I found the difference except the input output ports in x570 b550 mainly of pcie gen 4 But what is chipset uplink and general purpose lanes technical mean and what role in...

Hi, Due to a deficiency in storage I am currently contemplating upgrading e.g. my CPU/motherboard or come to terms with the limitation and buy larger storage. I run a: Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4 Ryzen 5 3600 32GB DDR4 3200 SLOT STATUS NOTES M2_1 Ultra PCIe Gen3 x4 Empty Shares lanes...

So I still have a Ryzen 1600 with 24 PCIE lanes. But I have 2 Gpu's and a m.2 SSD. That's over 24 PCIE lanes. What is being limited? I plan on selling my second GPU so this is just for curiosity.

Hello everyone! I am a big noob regarding modern storage and I want to keep it short and simple so I am asking directly: -ROG Crosshair VIII Hero https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-Crosshair-VIII-Hero/specifications/ -R9 3900x Cpu -planing to buy 3080ti (or the rumored 3090 if under 1500$)...

I'm wondering if onboard Wi-Fi uses pcie lanes (I assume that it would) and of so does it use cpu or chipset lanes and how many? Thanks

Hi i am looking for a solution to add my, recently found, old m.2 NVMe ssd to my computer. i found this card from asus https://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessories/HYPER-M-2-X16-CARD-V2/ my current setup is a msi b450m mortar max motherboard. amd ryzen 5 3400g cpu with vega graphics 2 nvme...

Hello, i have questions about datatransfer in general. Let's say i have two M.2 NVMe SSDs each connected via 4 PCIe 3.0 x4 to the chipset. The CPU is connected with 4 PCIe 3.0 x4 to the chipset. An GPU is directly connected with it's own PCIe 3.0 x16 lanes to the CPU. Part 1 What happens when...

Hi all, I plan to buy build a new system but like many other people, I’m really confused about PCIe lanes. The idea is to get a Ryzen 9 3950x and an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula motherboard. With this I’ll have 2x M.2 nvme ssd (gen3), 2x Sata SSD, 3x Sata HDD, an Nvidia RTX card and I also...

Hi! So I want to install two Intel 660p Series 512GB M.2 drives on the two slots of the motherboard. Since each will run an operating system, they won't ever be in use at the same time. Two more SATA drives will be installed separately. The manual is very brief regarding M.2 connectivity and...

If you are connecting computers over PCIe to become a compute cluster, how many PCIe lanes are enough? Is it x4? x16? Or do you need more (like 2 x16 slots)? Or does it not matter?

My keyboard disconnects very easily when i try to move it. I'm not sure if it's a problem with my keyboard or it's just a normal thing. I have a Logitech G710+

First time builder, I have got all the parts chosen apart from the case, which I can't decide on. Build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mDyKd6 I can't decide between the corsair 250R and 700D, the 700 has the extra space and dust filters but don't know if this is needed and is worth the...

Hello there! I am making this thread as I am encountering something I have never seen before. This is mostly related to gaming but I have no idea what component is acting up here. So on Saturday, my internet was playing up, it kept disconnecting and any games I tried to join just lagged out...
