I am a student that just got into my IT system management course, and I am trying to figure out: What PCIe slot bandwidth stands for? What PCIe slot gigatransfer stands for? What PCIe slot frequency stands for? I just want to understand the concept better

If I plug a PCIe 4x sound card (soundblaster AE-5 Plus) into a PCIe 4.0 1x slot, will the sound card's performance be severely downgraded?

History I've built my current setup in 2019. At that time, it had a lot of BSODs and after ups and downs, while I was disassembling the parts for RMA, I bent the pins of the socket. Gigabyte repaired it (I suppose by welding a new socket) and Kingston replaced the memory sticks. After that, I...

Hi, so I tried to delid my cpu yesterday but it's really hard. So I decided to undo my intention to delid the cpu. After I installed the cpu, ram etc, my buzzer emitted a long beep. After I checked, remove the ram one by one, apparently the first ram slot could not detect the installed ram...

After opening the back cover of my laptop, I found an empty slot with “1/2 Mini” written on the background.

I have an MSI X470 Gaming Plus Mobo and I upgraded my gfx card the other day.

I didn't pull at...

Hello gaymers, I've been experiencing several weird issues with my RAM. When I only have one RAM stick in at a time (in the A2 slot) it works fine- it successfully overclocks to 3000MHz and windows recognises that it is installed. However as soon as I put another stick of RAM in (in the B2...
