    Question PCIe SSD card x4 mode in x16 slot using x8 mode

    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?

    Question GPU works only on x16 slot with AMD Ryzen CPU ?

    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...
