Question H61 chipset and available pcie lanes.

[Abhi@000]

I bought a cheap H61 motherboard last year and installed intel i5-2400 and nvidia gt 1030(on one and only x16 slot of mobo) on it.
Gpu-z shows bus interface to be PCIe x4 2.0@ x4 2.0 even after putting it under load.
After checking online, I found that the processor supports 16 pcie lanes, but the intel h61 express chipset specifications on intel website showed 'PCI Express Configurations' to be x1,x2,x4 and 'Max# of PCI Express Lanes' to be 6.
Can I do something to increase that from pcie x4 for utilizing better gpus? I know i5 2400 will bottleneck but dont know how bad will pcie x4 be.

I want to upgrade my gpu once before I have savings to upgrade mobo, cpu and ram altogether. If my mobo can't allow more than pcie 2.0 x4, I think I will have to skip gpu upgrade and directly upgrade everything before that.

cpu pcie lanes and chipset pcie lanes are separate
you still have 16 lanes from cpu + few lanes from chipset
now as your gpu runs at two lanes only, that means its not connected in slot properly, could be something inside slot, or pins needs cleaning
