I have Lenovo "S145-15IIL Laptop (ideapad) - Type 81W8" (as stated when I check warranty page by logging in to Lenovo site). It has 1TB SATA HDD and an empty PCIe slot. I am wondering what kind of SSD will be compatible with it? Note that as per this...

was watching a livestream when my pc suddenly hard crashed and audio glitched, i had to turn power off and reboot. i was unable to connect to wifi after boot so i looked on my task manager and noticed the pcie card was not reccognised instead i found " something " controller at the bottom which...

I want to update my memory to nvme ssd drive , im thinking on using nvme adaptor on my board, i want to know if its possible , any performane loss or any kind of bottle neck , specs i5 9400f , Rx570 card 4gb

Hi guys, My Nvme slot is broken for some reason, so I'm planning to buy nvme to pcie adapter and plug it on the second pcie 3.0 x16 slot. is the nvme to pcie adapter will slow my GPU or will it make the GPU run x8? other than the Nvme as boot drive, I'm currently using 1 sata SSD and 1 HDD my...

Hello everyone please I hope anyone can help me. Im looking forward to upgrade my 8 years old PC. It has Core i5 3570, 8GB DDR3 Ram, P8H61M mobo, GTX 1060 and other old stuff. Im planning to upgrade everything, however, it will take quite some times while I work and save money. Its just that I...

The motherboard, I'm planning on buying, has two M.2 slots. One PCIe 4.0 and one 3.0. It has only one heatsink tho, above the 4.0 slot. I would like to put that heat sink in use, therefore I'm wondering if I can connect my PCIe 3.0 M.2 NVMe ssd into the slot with the heatsink. The motherboard is...

I bought a prebuilt PC a few days ago and it came with realtek pcie gbe family controllers but they dont give me wifi is it because I havent activated them or smt, i bought a usb that gives me wifi and it works fine its just a bit slow? Ty for responses

Hello, I wanted to know and understand the following. 1) What's the difference between the CPU supported PCIe lanes and the chipset ones? I guess the speed, right? The chipset speed depends on the speed of the connection between the chipset and the CPU. 2) So for example the 11gen intel i9s -->...

So I was taking the Pcie GPU cable from my PSU since its modular and the cables ripped off of the pcie(white) connector. Heres a picture: Direct links to images: https://ibb.co/w69M8tJ https://ibb.co/k3R46jG So any idea how to repair this until I can get some new proper cables. PS: The...

I saw the review today for the Sabrent SSD Sabrent Rolls Out 16TB External SSD For $2,900 | Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com) . I'm looking for some feedback on how fast people really think this will be vs say an nvme pcie4 drive. The capacity and price of the device is of interest. We work...

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding PCI-E cables for my Radeon RX 6800 GPU and the new PSU I am tring to install in my system. What I am confused about is am I supposed to use one or two PCIe cables from the new PSU? In the previous system (image 03) I had only one cable coming out of...

Hi everyone! Straight to the point: I've bought 2 Samsung Evo Plus NVMes, plugged them into the DIMM 2 slot, and made RAID 0 in Asus ROG apex Maximus 12 from them. (Please, don't ask me why the hell I did that; my regrets are endless). So what did exactly happen? Before all that, one Samsung...

Hi There, My NVMe is running on PCIe Gen 3x1 speeds instead of x4 for some reasons. Any idea why? I tried to reset BIOS but no luck. Setup: i5 10400f, 2x8GB DDR4 MSI MAG B460m Mortar WiFi (BIOS 7C82v14) AMD RX 6700 XT (in PCI_E1 slot) Samsung 970 Evo 1TB NVMe (in M2_1 slot) Crucial MX500 Sata...

I just installed a Samsung 980 NVME SSD into my MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard which I purchased new in 2016. I am aware that this board will bottleneck the speed, I'll upgrade the CPU/MOBO next year, I just wanted to get a fast drive to use once I upgrade. Anyways, neither BIOS nor Windows see...

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...

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...
