PCIe Slot

I have attached photos of my motherboard's PCIe x16 slot i was cleaning and saw this like marking thingy's. I also made sure to carefully take the gpu out rather than taking it straight away. I'm also new to this community/forum and a amateur when it comes to forums in general. View...

I went today and got a new AIO Cpu cooler and installed it, well when I went to take out the gpu to make some room for my hands to get inside the case I accidentally ripped off the whole graphics pcie slot and the pins were bent aswell. Thinking nothing of it since I have 3 other slots to use I...

(I don't know if this has been covered exactly yet, as others' situations don't seem to match mine. Also, didn't know if I should post this under GPU or motherboards, so I just put this under GPU) So, recently, I purchased an Optiplex 990 (not sff). It came with a 500w PSU, so I thought it would...

Hey Everyone, This is my first time actually posting here, though I've used this as a resource for years. With a work benefit program I was given some money for home office supplies. I thought this would be a great time to get some nice cable mod cables and a fully modular PSU. Please note...

Do loose fitting wifi cards(my wifi card wiggles in the PCIe slot) connect to the internet but have unstable connection? Or would they not work at all so my ping spikes aren't related to the wiggle? Because I am connected to the internet but I get ping spikes. So if a loose fitting wifi card...

I am asking as I have gpu issues where it is not being detected. Apologies if this is not the right thread but I am currently concerned about my mobo and so am asking in here. With the GPU seated and powered it runs, but if plugged in to the monitor computer starts but no signal is sent to the...

Okay, so I have a Gigabyte Z370M D3H motherboard. I was reading its specs here about the Expansion Slots, and I can't understand most of it. What's " x16 ". I have measured it's size which is 8cm. But what's the meaning of 1x PCI-E 3.0 x16 @ x16 1x PCI-E 3.0 x16 @ x4 2x PCI-E 3.0 x1 @ x1 I...
