As the title says- I have a “freaking” lot of issues with games on my new rig (Ryzen 3800x & ASUS Radeon 5700XT). some of the advice I managed to find online mentioned you switch from PCIe 4.0/AUTO to PCIe 3.0 in the bios. The problem is- I cannot find this option in my mobo bios- been EVERYWHERE in it and just can’t find it. Could anyone with enough knowledge direct me step by step how to change it please? Any good soul to help out there?

Yeah, I found those- so basically, following your thinking- I can plug in the 6pin one to 6pin part of the standard 8 pin PCIe and then to the GPU(?) Please correct me if I am wrong.

? I don’t thing there is enough space to tuck the +2 cable in there (at least not inside). I am not sure if I get what You means by those extension cables. Can I get 8 to 6 pins one? btw: thank You for the answer

Hi! I’ve got a Corsair RM850x PSU and ASUS Radeon 5700 XT GPU. Mentioned GPU have 8 pins and 6 pins power sockets. i currently have 8 to 8 pin cable + {6+2 pin} cables connected. Second one is connected to PCIe (8pin) port on PSU and just a 6 pins to GPU (the +2 pins are dangling near the GPU) and it don’t looks good ? I have plenty of 6 pins ports free on my PSU, but these are named “Peripheral & SATA”. I would want to get a 6 pin cable to power up my GPU without that “dangling +2”. Can I simply plug a 6 pin cable into one of those “Peripheral & SATA” ports on PSU? Or maybe I could buy a PCIe 8-pin to 6-pin cable (I don’t know if something like that exist)? OR maybe there is a different way of dealing with it, that I am not aware of? Any help greatly appreciated!
