Hi everyone! I'm a bit of a noob, so I apologize in advance for my noobiness.
From what I understand, all motherboards which has multiple PCIe slots, to which I can connect one or more graphics cards or other accessories. I am trying to identify these PCIe slots to figure out which one has what bandwidth and width and all that stuff.
The motherboard I have is linked over here.
From what I understand, at the top left there seem to be four (4) PCIe slots. Of these four slots, two of them are white. They seem to be PCIe x16 slots. Furthermore, I think that they are PCIe 3.0 slots because this is an old motherboard which was released when PCIe 4.0 wasn't a thing.
Next to the white ones, there is a much shorter black PCIe slot. I presume that this is a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot, because it's much shorter than the white ones.
Next to that is yet another PCIe slot, and I'd say that it's also a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot because it's the same dimensions as the white ones. However, I'm kind of confused why it's a different color and also why it isn't in line with the other PCIe slots.
My analysis may be wrong. I would appreciate if someone could explain this to me! Thank you very much for the help.
