PCIE

I've recently bought a 6700 XT red devil. Every graphics card I've ever had I plugged the PCIE connectors in one way (with the notch up), but on this card the only way they fit is upside down (with the notch down). Is it okay for it to be plugged in like this? I'll be showing pictures for more...

Hello everyone! I had a bunch of desktop PCs but ran out of 2,5" SSDs for upgrading them. Then again I also had several 256MB M.2 NVMe SSDs so I got some of these: PCIe Adapter for M.2 I startet testing with a rather old PC, its mainboard is a Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV, BIOS is from 2015. First I...

So I'm running a h310ms2p mobo with a 1070ti and one day i just lost hdmi signal so i assumed my gpu was fried. I tested this buy swapping in a 2070 super, just to see if it would detect. Nothing on device manager except the intel graphics. at this point I assume my pcie slot is busted or...

Hi guys, I just bought a second NVME drive for my motherboard. I reluctantly bought the drive without doing any research on my motherboard as it's quite old and I completely forgot what it supported. This drive was meant to replace my boot drive and I would then re-use the old boot drive for a...

So while I was watching a video and also downloading something for a game, my display just suddenly white screened? It looked static and a small squared static was also now my cursor. I forced shutdown and restarted my pc only to find it not posting and not beeping anything, after removing the...

Last week I cleaned my computer internally, and since then my GPU temperatures have risen considerably. If before they were at 38-40ºC at idle, now they are at 46-52ºC at idle. At first I thought it might be a driver problem (I took advantage of the cleanup to update the drivers) so I reverted...

I'm changing my old RX 570 to a XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III - And I'm confused if these cables will work that are included with my power supply, Here is the image Sorry again about the dumb question - I'm pretty new to this.

Hi, Everything is contained within the title: Does ASUS provide a "12VHPWR Adapter Cable" for their Thor 850W PSU for powering an RTX 3080 Ti which I can buy separately so that I don't have to use the weird micro-penis 2x8 pin PCIe adapter that Nvidia provide? I can't seem to find anything...

Hi, I wish you can help me with this weird issue. I just downloaded the new Windows 11 Pro version 22H2, installed it and after the pc restarted I noticed my second gpu was not turned on, so I decided to turn off the pc and when I turned it on, the secondary gpu fans didn't start spinning...

Hello, just bought an rtx 4080. The 12pin to three 8pin adapter comes with it. However the hx850 is semi modular with two 6+2 cables being already routed from the psu so to speak. All good so far, thing is I need three 6+2 pins cables from the psu to plug into the three 8 pins on the adapter. I...

For my new build i went with a Samsung 980 500 GB, and i thought i'd add a 1 TB HDD as a 2nd drive, but it's not much more to get another SSD. However i'm really confused as to how PCI lanes work, and if my 2nd drive should be another m.2 or a SATA SSD. I'm running an i7-13700K with a ROG...

Hello everyone, this is my first question here. 😊 I want to expand my PC storage (and its speed) for audio production and I need 2 additional SSD Nvme drives for data and samples (2TB x 2). I already have 1 Nvme with the OS (and a HDD, which I'd disconnect and use as external backup). So, my...

Hi, I'm trying to set up a PCIe RAID Controller into a new GIGABYTE B550 Aorus Elite V2 motherboard that I recently bought, and I'm having the following issue: What's expected? - The BIOS of the PCIe RAID Controller itself must show up first before POST. What happens in my case? - It shows...

I recently change the ssd provided with the Dell G5 5520 (core i7-12700H, DDR5) wich was a GEN 3 NVME. I migrated the S.O. using Marcium Reflect and didn´t do a clean install. I also changed the storage mode on the bios to be AHCI/NVME instead of Raid. CrystalDiskInfo says that the 980 pro is...

Unfortunately I lost the 2 tiny screws that hold my motherboard's NVMe heatsink in place. I plan on getting a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD which doesn't come with a heatsink. Will the glue from the thermal pad of the mobo's heat sink be enough to hold it onto the SSD?

I have an idea and i'm consulting you & looking forward to your opinions. *** machine components *OS = windows 7 64bit * MB = msi Z77A-G43 (ms-7758) * cpu = intel i7-3770...

I have an apu with an itx motherboard and the hdmi output on the mother board is broken. Now instead of buying a new motherboard I need something like a preferably 1 slot pcie card with hdmi on that card that will output display from the apu. Is there such a thing?

After inputting the requirements listed below, Pcpartpicker showed me a whopping 0 results. So, I'm hoping to find a good compromise at a good price. Current requirements: LGA1700 - i9 12900 1x pcie 16 - rtx 3070 1x pcie 4 - capture card 1x pcie 1 - sound card at least 2 sata ports at least...

Can't get my RTX 3080 FE to work on any Asus Rog 600 series motherboards I can't seem to get a display output from my RTX 3080 when it's connected to any Asus 600 series motherboard. I've tried the GPU on three motherboards so far: Asus ROG Strix B660i gaming wifi (Doesn't work) An Asus Z690...

I recently bought a new Crucial MX500 to add onto my PC in addition to my other 2 drives. My motherboard (Tomahawk B350) has 4 SATA ports, but the most accessible 2 are of course already taken. The other 2 are blocked by my new GPU, which is quite large. I do have SATA cables with a 90 degree...

Got myself one of those new Comet Lake Refresh i3-10105F CPUs, and I intend to pair it with a B560 mobo so I can upgrade to Rocket Lake later this year or early next year. However seen a few videos where people report these motherboards don't initially recognize the PCIe GPU, resulting in no...

I read that if i use m.2 slot with heatsink it will make PCIe16_1 to x8, does that mean i need to place my GPU on PCIe16_2 or it downgrade it too? And do i need a thermal pad for that heatsink becouse i don't know if it has a stock one on it? SDD will be Samsung 980 (non-Pro) 1 TB. I am...

Hi, reading conflicting reports that you need two seperate PCIE cables to power two 8 pins on an RTX 3080, I have a decent power supply in an Rm750x (2018). Anything to worry about? Image of 3080 with singular cable for reference: View: https://imgur.com/a/NjPr7sV

I'm trying to add an internal 10-15TB RAID5 M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 data drive to a Win 10 Pro PC based on Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master MoBo with AMD 5950x CPU. I've had good experience with Areca HW RAID controllers over the years with spinning drives. It looks like for M.2 NVMe I have the choice of...

Hi, I bought this PSU around 5 years ago and lost the cables it came with. I'm going to get a 3080 which requires 3 pcie 6+2 connectors but I only have 1 2x6+2 cable available. Tried looking at cable sales but they are all offbrand and go in the CPU port in the PSU, not the VGA one. I'm...

Hi everyone, my GPU is GTX 460, CPU is Xeon E3-1220 V3, and motherboard is Gigabyte H81M-DS2V (rev 1.0) with latest BIOS version F6. My problem is that my GPU always runs on PCIe 1.1 even at full load (gaming) and won't go back to running on PCIe 2.0 unless I restart my PC. This problem makes...

Hi, My motherboard says it "supports up to PCIe 3.0 x4" for its two M.2 slots. First, I want clarification on what the "x4" means. There wasn't much info about it online. I think it had to do with # of lanes it uses. Could anyone explain that more? Do I have to match that number with the SSD, or...

I bought the rx 6500 xt because it's cheap, but it doesn't have and encoder and the cpu isn't that great at it either. My question is, If i connect my old gpu through a riser x1 to x16, does the second gpu have to be connected to a monitor to encode video? Specs: CPU: R5 1600 GPU1: RX 6500 XT...

I know this problem has been pointed out a few times, and that there isn't much of difference between x4 and x16, but it's something that really bothers me. I tried reseating the gpu, blow the dust (compressed air), updated the bios, drivers, bios settings but nothing worked. Specs. R5 1600 Rx...

Hey, So SATA ports 5 and 6 don't recognize any drives. Drives themselves work just fine, tested with multiple cables, ports, and systems. Is there some kind of limitation to x570? I couldn't find anything online so, this is my last resort now. System specs are below. Any help is appreciated...

My motherboard has 2 M.2 slots , One is x4 and x2 , the x4 can support NVME and SATA SSDs both but the x2 supports only NVME. And now im having 2 SSDs, one is WD Green 240 gb SATA SSD but M.2 Form factor and another one is Samsung 980. Now the problem is that i cannot use the WD Green on the x2...

I intend for buy an ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming with a AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. I’m still trying to grasp the lanes business. When I check the specs https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x570-f-gaming-model/spec Under the 5000 series and AMD X570 chipset it gives different...

I have a gigabyte GPU and it often has the white LED near the PCIE power plug for “power cable disconnected.” When this white LED is on, RGB Fusion 2.0 is unable to detect the card and I can’t change the colors on my GPU. If I turn my computer on and off via holding down the power button...

I have a 16T and a 10T drive and want to span them in Win 10 Pro using Disk Manager for (approx) 26T. They are both formatted as NTFS and the partition table is GPT. I go through the Win 10 Disk Management steps to span or stripe them and regardless of what I do I get a Virtual Disk Manager...

The image above displays the bandwith table of the MSI B350 mainboard. CPU: R5 1600. I do not quite understand the table. I have an rtx 2060 so 3.0 x16. Does this mean, according to the table, that I can only pair it with a 2.0 x4 card or that, that card will be limited? What does empty refer...

So I've read that using PCIe adapter can make your SSD run at full speed if NVMe is not supported by your motherboard. My SSD is running at 700mb read which is 1/3 of its max speed of 2100/1700. But I don't know anything about PCIe adapters. So which adapter should I buy to get my full speed...

I had a motherboard issue a while back and couldn't replace it for a while, but recently did so, only to discover that the 2.5" PNY SSD I had decided to die while it was not in use (even though I had used it a few times attached as an external drive). I'm now looking for a new SSD as a boot...
