Hey all, i have a real mystery on my hands.
I have a tomahawk 450 max. I moved my 5700xt into what i now know is the PCIe 2.0 x4 slot and it made my PC run slow. I moved it back to the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot again but my PC is still unusably slow. Ranks lowest on computer tests when it was near the top before.
What did i do ? Can it be fixed ?
Methods tried to fix
• Clean install of windows
• Cleared CMOS
• Tried a different PSU
• Broke down PC, removed Mobo to inspect and to insure plugs are in tight
• Installed different video card ( gtx 970 )
• Updated Bios
• Defaulted bios
• Installed all needed software and drivers after clean wipe and reload
And still it runs like its 25-50% power or something. Was fine till i moved the GPU from the top PCIe 3.0 ( 16x ) to the lower 2.0 PCIe x4
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
