when full GPU load or game show x2 3.0
when idl show x2 1.1
why ??
why x2 ?????
what mean x2

 

[Colif]

did you click the green ? next to the line, it explains it there.

the reason it is 1.1 at idle is a power saving feature of the gpu, it reduces the amount of power GPU uses at idle.

now the x2 is another question, as on mine it shows x16 which leads me to think its the rails

it should be pcie x16 3.0 @ x 16

why show x2

(i install vga in pcl x16 gen 3)

 

[Colif]

i was about to ask which slot it is in

have you tried reseating the GPU?

I think PCIe x 16 3.0 is the connection speed on the motherboard, the GPU itself is running at x2 3.0 = this means the mb slot itself is running at x2 speed. I would look in the BIOS.

Try your graphics card in a different PCIE x16 slot.

BIOS MIN IS UPDATE AND SETUP IS DEFAULT
BUT IN GAME OR idl running at x2 3.0

PEX16_1 Slot/ PEX16_2 Slot
PEG0/1-Gen X
This item selects PCI Express port speed.
Options: Auto (Default) / Gen1 / Gen2 / Gen3
PEG0/1-ASPM
This item sets PCI Express Active State Power Management settings.
Options: Disabled (Default) / L0s / L1 / L0sL1 / Auto

PEX16_3 Slot
PEG0/1-Gen X
This item selects PCI Express port speed.
Options: Auto (Default) / Gen1 / Gen2 / Gen3
PEG0/1-ASPM
This item sets PCI Express Active State Power Management settings.
Options: Auto (Default) / L0s / L1 / L0sL1 / Disabled

check that each PEX is Auto I guess (or gen 3)

PEX16-1 is top slot
PEX16-2 is middle slot
PEX16-3 is bottom slot. shows on page 4 here - https://www.biostar.com.tw/upload/Manual/Manual_new/IZ97C-AHT_150107.pdf

 

[Haji13680201]

h PEX is Auto

THANKS
MY VGA INSTALL PEX16-1 is top slot
AND IN SETUP BIOS
PEG0/1-Gen X ... IS Auto
PEG0/1-ASPM ... IS Disabled
Does it need to change ???

 

[Colif]

PEG0/1-ASPM ... IS Disabled

which one is disabled?
the default values for ASPM for PEX slot 1 & 2 is disabled
whereas the default value for APSM for slot 3 is auto.
I would set them to their defaults.

 

[Haji13680201]

SETUP BIOS IS
Default COMPELET
AND
FOR PCL SLOT 1 (INSTALLED VGA)
(
PEG0/1-Gen X ... IS Auto
PEG0/1-ASPM ... IS Disabled )

 

[Colif]

that is right. So bios is set up right, I assume card is still running slow?

MY VGA

ASUS ROG STRIX 1650 SUPER OC (NEW SHOPING)
YES
I assume card IS.. slow

 

[Colif]

did you try the other slots?
Even though mb is saying its set to defaults, it appears its only giving x2
I can find plenty of cases of only giving 8 but not many 2.

I assume you are putting it in the right slots, although the other shorter slots only give 1, so probably not.
I see if anyone else thinks of something.

hi
install vga to slot 2
after boot ....
Bus Interface ……@ X8 3.0
!!!!!
no change to x16
why ??

Bus Interface ……@ X8 3.0
no change to x16
why ??

PCIE 3.0 x8 is plenty. Much better than PCIE 3.0 x2.
I'd consider that - win.

Second slot is x8 max. It will not work at 16x.

It's possible you have bent pins in cpu socket and that's why first PCIE slot works at x2 mode.

I shop moderbord .. April 2020 .. new
Test cpu .. no error and problem.. ok all

 

[Haji13680201]

please help me for fix problem

 

[SkyNetRising]

The problem is not that significant.
Use your graphics card in second PCIE slot at x8 mode. That's perfectly fine. You're not using any performance.

As mentioned before - it's possible there are bent pins in cpu socket. Examine it closely. Make a high resolution photo of the socket pins.
It might be possible to fix bent pins. But this requires a lot of patience. Pins are very small.

If you can't fix the pins, then only option is buying a new motherboard.

or something on the slots

So yeah, I’ve kept reading the replies but forgot to report what the problem was after is solved it.

Yes it is fixed. What was it? A glob of nail polish landed on one of the islands during delidding. Invisible at a glance I noticed a shiny island upon close inspection in bright sunlight. My trusty Aliexpress microscope showed it very clearly. Scraped it off, 16 lanes back again!

1st PCIe slot (x16) only works at x2 with my Aorus 1080Ti...

I have this pretty Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC) motherboard (Z370) paired with my Gigabyte Aorus GeForce GTX 1080Ti Xtreme Edition 11G. The card is in the 1st PCIe slot and both parts support PCIe 3.0 speeds of x16. The problem is that the card is stuck at x2 PCIe speeds and refuses to work at x16...

check if there is a bent CPU pin as well.

Install vga in slot 3
Show x4 !!!!

According to these tests performed and the results obtained .. Where is the problem? From the motherboard BIOS or ...

Show x16 !!!!!!!!!

Great. Then it's resolved now. 👍

Dust in PCIE slot - may be.
