x16

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...

Hi. I have an Asus P6X58D-E motherboard with three PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. They can either work in x16/x8/x8 mode or x16/x16/x1 mode. The 1st PCIe slot is taken by the graphics card. Would a PCIe SSD x16 card that uses only 4 lanes (x4 mode) work on the 2nd/3rd slots?

Hey guys. I have 2 GPUs. A 3060 and a 1660 super, and they only show up when connected to a x16 slot in the motherboard. When I use a riser, they don't get detected. Other cards work fine with the riser, so it's not a riser issue. I've tried different motherboards, different risers and even...

So, after I got my new Sapphire NITRO+ RX 590 after two ASUS RX 570 that were a complete nightmare, apparently I can say all is good to go, but, I've noticed something while checking the AMD drivers and in the information the card was as running as PCI Express 2.0 x8 Instead of PCI Express 2.0...
