Question huananzhi x99 f8d with Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

[Hoi Phung]

I'm building a pc with huananzhi x99 f8d motherboard, I use Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 as my GPU. When I tried to run it, it keep appearing the code AE, which mean GPU error or storage error. My M.2 sata is ok, some guy told me that my gpu is too good for the motherboard, I need to buy a lower one. This got me really confused, can someone tell if this motherboard is compatible with the gpu?

This is my gpu: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeF...a8-995fca9767ce&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m

There's no reason it shouldn't work aside from a problem with the board itself. You could try other PCIe slots, but this is the inherent problem with running one of the no name boards.

As far as people running the benchmark there seems to be no issue with Nvidia GPU's

UserBenchmark: Huananzhi X99-F8 Compatible Components

You should dig deep into the manual as some of these duel CPU motherboards require you to use specific PCI-E slot for GPU's
