PCIE

I stripped out the mounting holes of my case and now the screws can't tighten my GPU in place, they still hold it in though just not tight enough. I have a few questions about this: Is it safe to leave it like this without doing any damage to the GPU or the PCIe slot? If not, will leaving my...

I've noticed my RTX 2060 and my SoundBlaster Z are sharing the same IRQ (16), and when I run LatencyMon sometimes it tells me my PC is not suitable for realtime audio and video, but my build has a Core i7 11700 and 32GB of Corsair RAM. I can't access the pcie x1 slot due to the pcie m.2_2...

Hi, I'm looking to build a firewall machine that will run pfSense. I already have an enclosure available. I plan to buy 2 cards like this: Intel Server Adaptor I350-T4 4-Port Quad-Port The bus type of this card is PCI Express 2.1 (5 GT/s). It uses 4-lane PCI Express (so x4). I was...

First, I live in Argentina, so US prices and stocks don’t really apply here. This is my current set up: an I5 4460, 16gb ddr3 RAM, and a 2060 GPU. For a while now, I’ve been thinking of upgrading to a 10th gen Intel CPU, as Ryzen prices and availability here are a joke. However, now 11th gen is...

I want to use the USB type C from my Case Front Header for the long term and don't want to regret buying a cheap PCI-e USB Type C connector. I don't mind if it is a bit pricy, as long as it has good quality. do you have a recommendation for this?

Hey! Just bought a pci-e cable but the joined pins don't fit in my PSU. What do I do?

Hello! (again) On the next chapter of my cursed PC saga, I think I finally linked all the evidence in my head to one possible conclusion. Sometimes, on boot, my motherboards lights (it's an MSI X570 tomahawk wifi) indicate a bad GPU and is stuck there until I shut it off and hopefully it works...

What is the meaning of this yellow light inside my computer's tower? View: https://i.imgur.com/tzF3wEp.png It is blinking constantly and it's basically been there since I got the computer. It blinks slowly though. Is it maybe related to a WIFI PCIe card or something?

I have the MSI 100ME GTX960 2gb card but it's not working for a while. It just gives black screen with no signal error. It can't boot to windows. The fans and leds are working, but the GPU isn't heating up at all. I tested it with a secondary card (a GT1030) and the bios says there's no card in...

I would like to build a system that is able to test different combinations of CPU and GPU hardware without needing to be physically reconfigured. For example, say I have CPU A, and CPU B; and I have GPU X, and GPU Y. I need some type of PCIe switch to connect the devices. This would enable the...

So today I just finally Upgraded to a new graphics card. It ended up not fitting, so I had to disassemble it and reassemble it in a new, larger, PC case. The ONLY part that changed was the graphics card. However, now that I put everything back together the two NvMe harddrives I had installed in...

I just got ahold of a hold of a GTX 1080 with an 8 pin and 6 pin PCI-E connector. My old graphics card only had an 8 pin connector, and I do not have any extra PCI-E cables. Would a Y splitter be a good solution? or should I get another 6+2 PCI-E cable? In that case can anyone help me find extra...

so I'm putting in a pcie 3.0 x16 card into a slot that is physically x16 but the motherboard says it will only run pcie 4.0 x8. I don't have a good understanding on pcie which is why I'm asking this. They are theoretically the same speeds (1Gb per lane of 3.0 x16 = 2Gb per lane of 4.0 x8). Will...

Ad says up to 3500 read and write up to 3100 (https://www.pny.com/CS3030-M-2-NVMe-SSD?sku=M280CS3030-500-RB) I just bought one (500GB) and received it today. installed it in my MSI GP63 Leopard 8re laptop. Cloned it successfully without any issues. but I get way far less than that when I...

The title is in poor taste. I will explain elaborately. I am running a 8700K on a ASUS Z270X Prime A-II, the board offers two PCIe slots for Dual GPU/SLI/NVLink setups. I hooked up a 1650 Super on the first slot, the second slot as of now is empty. What I wish to do is to throw my 1060 on the...

Okay so this all started with the fans on my current GPU crapping out. Not entirely dead, but failing and making a lot of noise. I eventually settled on replacing it with my previous card for the time being while I wait on XFX support, but now I'm facing the issue of it just crashing. I'm not...

Right then, back at the beginning of February, I bought a custom PC for my workshop. Specs: MoBo: Gigabyte A320M (BIOS 11/03/20) CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X RAM: 16GB Crucial On Board Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 I bought from Amazon a uBit Wifi - Bluetooth PCIe card. The first few days all was...

Hi all - I have seem some threads which sort-of touch on this issue but I haven't seen it answered - sorry if I've missed a post that does actually answer this question. I have older model of PSU - a Corsair AX1200 - which frustratingly uses a unique pin configuration into the PSU - and...

So for the past couple of months now I've been getting sporadic black horizontal lines and sometimes just no image on two of my monitors. They are both connected with displayport to vga cables, and my other is connected with just hdmi. At first I thought it was just an adapter issue, and so I...

Hi folks, I upgraded my mobo and CPU, and reinstalled win10 and linux. All works fine including my primary monitor via displayport. HOWEVER I can no longer video-out from my GPUs HDMI port to my LG TV as a secondary screen, in windows. I can do so in linux, but not at full resolution & refresh...
