PCIE

Hi, I recently bought the MSI x870e gaming Plus And have a 5080 GPU. During installation I've noticed the PCIE_PWR1 connector at the bottom of the board. How exactly do I use it? If My GPU directly gets power from my power supply unit, then what's the use of PCIE_PWR connector on the board?

The motherboard is an ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE, which is a "workstation" board and chosen for its support of ECC memory. That means I have few alternatives. https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/workstation/pro-ws-w680-ace/ The CPU is a non-K Alder Lake i5, where the only...

Hey there, So I have this prob going on, RTX 3090, GPU isn't communicating with the motherboard ---- Story Sooo, gpu-z (win) or lspci/dmesg commands (ubuntu) isn't showing my card detectable on the pcie or motherboard itself, as if the card isn't even attached to the motherboard I did made...

Hello everyone, I am looking for a good PCIE WiFi card with the option of having ‘remote’ antennas (with wires). Regardless of the price, I would like something versatile that will last a long time. Do you have any good recommendations? For context, I've been having major WiFi issues since I...

Hi I have a relatively new AX wifi 6 pcie card that physically fits in the older laptop's pcie slot. (i hope i use the right terminology here) but it doesn't show up neither in a windows system, nor in a linux (lspci, lshw -C network, but not even dmesg shows any change when unplugging/plugging...

Hi, I purchased a Renesas PCIe USB 3.0 card because there seems to be a problem with the USB 3.0 ports on my MB. It then doesnt seem to work, f.e. it doesnt recognize my external HDD. Device manager in Windows says, -the Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller doesnt start-. I did install...

Hello I am getting a new graphics card MSI 5060 8GB, It has Pcie 5.0, I have a riser cable thats 3.0, and motherboard has 3.0 Pcie slots. Is there any problems here? I have read I will lose some performance not using full 5.0 pcie. I am okay with that, although making sure Its okay to do?

Hi Internet, I come to you in times of need. I don't know how to connect the data from my HDDs to my raspberry pi. I've thought of this many, many ways and I just don't see how it's possible. Maybe you can come up with an idea? This is my setup: Raspberry pi 1 (2014) 7 HDDs (I'd like to use...

I'm building a homelab which will run Proxmox. It will have a couple of VMs: TrueNAS and a plain Linux host with some Docker containers including a media server. I plan to use an i5-12400 for this for its QSV capability but I'm having issues understanding PCIe lanes and potential expansion for...

I am going to be building an ITX build, and for the first time looking at cases that require a GPU riser. I have always been hesitant to use them because they are another point of failure in your build, and I have seen a TON of people having issues with them over the years. Have we gotten to a...

I have a system from around 2007 with a Radeon Xpress 200 chipset. I want to find out what the fastest storage is that it can use. It has PCIe 1.0 and SATA II. Currently, I have a SATA III SSD in it, but the slot is limited to 300 MB/s instead of 600 MB/s which the SSD is capable of. According...

I am using an Asrock B660M-ITX/ac motherboard. I have 4 SATA SSDs, 1 NVMe SSD. Nic is Intel(R) 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port. Also has an onboard Intel I219-V nic. It's a homelab esxi. From my understanding. the 82559 nic takes 8 chipset PCIe lanes. What gen though? Each SATA takes 1. But what...

I am using MSI B550 gaming plus motherboard. The problem is the M.2 slot 1 doesn't detect SSD when tested with Ryzen 5600, 5600x and 5700x processor. But the M.2 slot 2 is working fine with these processors. But when I tested with Ryzen 5600G processor both the M.2 slots are working fine. M.2...

So I am starting a new build with an RTX 5080 GPU. I bought the X870E mobo + Ryzen 9800X3D combo from Newegg and I am trying to make sure I have the NVMe situation correct. I am wanting to run the 5080 GPU with all 16 lanes and at least one NVMe 5.0, if not two. Do I have the gist of it or...

I might be overthinking this, but I wanted to get your thoughts on whether I might have caused any short-term or long-term issues. I recently purchased a brand-new ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Ti SUPER OC Edition. While removing the GPU from the PCIe slot to access some cables behind it, I made a mistake...

Hey everyone. GPU servers are prohibitively expensive and way beyond my budget. However, I'm eager to achieve the local deployment of the Llama LLM. So, I had to come up with an alternative solution. I've designed a GPU expansion board with PCIe 4.0. The distance between the 2 slots is a...

Hi, I can't seem to find anywhere if an M.2 is inserted on the first slot (the one advertised as Gen 5) will reduce the number of lanes available to the first PCIe 4.0. It's currently running at PCIe 4.0 X16 with my 4080 and I don't want to loose performance. Any help is appreciated.

Has anyone have any idea how can I switch their pcie speed slots as I want my RTX 3060 laptop gpu on the x16 3.0 I just saw their differences using GPU-Z May laptop is a: Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 82K201DVPH Ryzen 7 5800h RTX 3060

So this morning I needed to do some adjustment on my PC and I noticed something that mad me realize I connected, at least I think I did, to the wrong slots on the motherboard and gpu. As you can see on the picture, this is an RM750e and you can see the slots for PCIe/CPU. I’m assuming the one on...

After a ton of research I am inclined to go with the Samsung 2TB Pro NVMe as a replacement for my current 512GB EVO NVMe. This is to accomodate any potential upgrade to my CPU and Motherboard in the next year or two. I am aware of the 'health decline' issue but assume this has been resolved with...

So I would like to know does molex riser pcie consume power only from 12v and 5 v is for show or does it use /need/require both to be plugged in? I intend to retrofit a very expensive Silverstone modular 1300R PSU who's voltage has weakened on 5v compartment but 12v is perfect. The PSU will be...

Hi all, this one is a bit of a doozy. I've posted it on reddit but figured it best to spread a wide net to hopefully find a solution the problem that has been plaguing me since the morning of the 21st of July. I'm still trudging through possible fixes myself but I'd be really grateful to get...

I need Help With adding a PCIe 4.0 NVME M2 SSD 4 TB on MSI Z87-G45 MB with a PCIe 4.0 adaptor Card inserted into a PCI 3.0 x16 slot. UEFI shows as unknown vendor and unknown device. I do not know if this is possible with my motherboard and I7-4770. I only want to drive for storage. MBD: MSI...

Hello fellow members of the community! I've been having an issue recently with shoddy performance, namely some stutters and very low 1% lows in some easy to run titles. I have an old GTX 970 paired with an I7 4790. In trying to figure out the culprit, one of my hypothesis was that the GPU could...

Hello everyone, My PC is 4 years old and had been working perfectly until about 5 months ago. All games I play started micro stuttering occasionally (while fps is the same), especially when something new happens. I've tried almost everything and nothing helped but I have a lead. CPU-Z shows...

Essentially I am considering upgrading from RTX 3090 to RTX 4090; however I have only two 8-pin PCIe cables plugged into my PSU (Corsair HX1200 80 PLUS PLATINUM). I assumed since each cable can handle 288W, for a total of 576W, I could just use them without needing to install new power cables...

I have an Asus P6X58D-E motherboard with standard bios (0803). Will an M.2 NVMe SSD via a PCIe slot work ? I don't want to boot from it, I just need it for storage, and I'm not keen on modding the bios. I'm asking because I had read something about the board not supporting NVMe SSDs, but my...

Hi all, I recently started dabbling with old PC hardware as I find it all quite interesting. For the purposes of testing old AGP and PCI cards, I thought I’d get a test bench together with an older motherboard. I then discovered ASRock made weird motherboards that had AGP, PCI, and PCIe slots...

I have an MSI B550 Tomahawk paired with a Ryzen 5900X which supports 24 lanes. I have a 4080 in my PCIe 4 x16 and 2 gen 4 NVMe SSDs in both my x4 slots. This makes 24 lanes right? The thing is, I also have a WiFi card in one of the x1 slots at the bottom... Will the WiFi card now not work or...

I just built a new pc and I was wondering how many pci cables should I use to power the rtx 4080? On my old pc I used the same 4080 and I was using 3 individual pci cables to plug into the adapter that came with the 4080. Now I’m using just two, is that fine or should I use 3 individual cables?
