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...

I'm planning to build a mining rig with 12 RTX A5000. (230Watts per one) i want to use only pcie cables no molex/sata for risers is there any psu that contains enough 6 pins connectors ? thanks

I am trying to understand why I cannot get my Samsung 970 EVO Plus to run at 3.0x4 in the m.2 slot. I have tried different bios settings that I thought would help but I could only get this to run at 3.0x1 in the m.2 slot. I purchased an adapter card for the pcie slot and the 970 will run at...

Hello, I bought an AX3000 to install mostly for the bluetooth hoping it would be relatively painless to install. After installing the card on my Gigabyte B450M DS3H, I loaded Windows and neither the Wifi nor bluetooth were working. I also couldn't find it in device manager. I then used the...

Ok here’s my question… I have a 2 1/2 year old Samsung 970 Pro NVMe drive as my primary with OS on it. It died. I replaced with a clone on a SSD. my question is this… if I return it to Samsung to take advantage of the warranty, how much of my activity/ desktop could they possible take from it...

I get an AGP error on my ROG STRIX RTX 2070 from my gigabyte b450m ds3h motherboard. One long beep, 3 short beeps. All the lights turn on, and the fans spin up but then turn off. GTX 1080ti works well on the same motherboard. Is there anything I should try before I bring it to an expert? Or if...

As the title suggests -and I know this has been asked before- I am having a problem figuring out if it's a bad PCI-e slot or a bad GPU. I have a MSI Armor RX570 4gb, AMD; and I have been using it normally for the past two years (bought it early 2020). I bought it with one year of usage, but...

Hi guys! I have a issue. Please help me And yeah, I have seen that this topic has been touched many times but before screwing up something I would like to know your opinion. I have been reading the manual of my motherboard and there is something that bothers me and I can't figure it out. (My...

Hi everyone. Please let me know if i have chosen my components correctly. I am really confused about pcie lanes and if i have enough because the ryzen 5 5650g has 12 pcie lanes. I chose these components because of the price availability in my country - South Africa. I am planning to get the...

My new laptop came with a small PCIE m.2 SSD, which is its only hard drive, and I now want to replace it with a 1TB Crucial P5 Plus. I haven't done this before, but I think I will just physically replace the SSD, and then do a clean install of windows 10 via USB. Is this procedure correct? Or...

So as you can see on the topic, I would like to know how are the SSD speeds of PCIe 4.0 disk in a 3.0 slot. Am I at least possible to get the maximum speed that the 3.0 slot can give from the 4.0 disk? As an example; What would be the speed of a Samsung 500GB 980 Pro (M.2) in the 3.0 slot? And...

Im looking for a good 1tb ssd that will work in my mobo. I think the WD SN570 would work but it is a sata ssd and I already have the nvme sata ssd port taken so it won’t work. I am looking for one that will work in the first m.2 slot on the ASrock B500m pro4. Thanks

Silly question. I am about to update to a 12th gen. system, and I already have a RTX2070 with PCIe 3.0. Motherboard would be a Z690 ROG Strix -f. Is PCIe 5.0 backwards compatible with 3.0? Will the motherboard adjust bus speeds automatically? Thanks in advance.

Alright, so I have a conundrum. I think because I want to have more NVMe drives in my system I am messing with my graphics card and making stuff crash. Specifically I had a few times where Halo Infinite has either crashed on me or restarted my computer, no blue screen code or anything, this was...

Full model: Kingston 500GB A2000 SSD M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SA2000M8/500GB I can see its "PCIe 3.0 x4" yet my motherboard has "NVMe PCIe Gen2 x2 2280 M.2 Connector" will it work? Thank you!

Good day, I'm currently looking for a 1TB M.2 NVME that has excellent REAL WORLD performance, I don't really give much emphasis if a lot of the NVME drives today have very fast speeds when it comes to synthetic benchmarks since these are SYNTHETIC BENCHMARKS. I'm looking for a drive that can...

In the UEFI you can set the GPU's PCIE lane version on what version you want it, my question is if you set the lane to.....let's say version 3.0, will the lane of the NVME drives also change to that version? Correct me if I'm wrong and I am surely wrong, to my knowledge or how I understand NVME...

in cpuz it says my gpu is at pcie gen 4 x8 8gt/s but also says max supported x16 16gt/s even under full load it does not change is there anything I can do about this?

Hello everyone, I am about to buy a new macbook pro M1pro/max for video editing and I am not clear about the size of internal storage as it's often recommended to seperate OS & software from footage and media cache. So I thought taking a smaller internal drive + an external Thunderbolt 3 drive...

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...

I am soon upgrading my GPU and PSU to support the new power requirements my system will need, my problem however is that the PCI-E cable in my current graphics card is kind of stuck. I was practicing messing around with taking out the PSU for when I had to and I only tried with the PCI-E cable...
