Hello everybody I'm new here after discovering linus on youtube. Recently I'm doing some upgrades on my 5 year old gaming computer. Here's what I got Asus P8Z77-V Z77 i5 3570K GTX 1070 3 x 1920x1200 monitors and 1x 4K TV connected to this The videocard is not strong enough to handle my gaming requirements. I'm very confused on the PCI-e lanes issues. I want to buy another GTX 1070 for SLi and also get a PCI-e AIC SSD, so my question is: with this motherboard and CPU, do i have enough lanes to run SLi + pci-e SSD? I can't seem to figure this out. Please help thanks Linus =D

With a 6700K in Z170 and using M.2, are we sure that two Pascal Titan X in SLI won't saturate the 16 PCIe lanes? In other words, will the performance suffer with SLI Titan X in 8x/8x? With past video cards in SLI, we were nowhere close to saturating 8x/8x but I'm wondering if that still stands with the new Pascal Titan X.

Hello I'm using an Asrock B150A-X1 mobo, i3 6100 and Windows 10 64bit. When I connect 4 graphics cards I start to see warnings on two of them saying: "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)". Reinstalling video drivers or windows doesn't help. If I disable the onboard graphics all 4 graphics cards work fine. There is no statement in the motherboard's manual that I must disable my onboard video if I want to use 4 PCI-E devices and even this can be reported to Asrock as a design flaw, but this is not a big problem for me and I can save it for them. The big problem is with 5 PCI-E devices. If I connect a fifth graphics card there is nothing left to disable. I tried disabling the onboard lan and audio, but that doesn't help. Setting all the slots to Gen1 and all graphics cards to work at PCI-E x1 speeds also doesn't help. I've send a message to Asrock support and I'm waiting for an answer. What would you do in my position? To buy a product that doesn't meet it's specification? -
Preface This guide hopes to answer the question “what is PCIe” and more specifically to help serve as a guide to system planning. I have tried to make this as accurate and as easy to read as I can. If you spot any inaccuracies please let me know so that I can fix them. What is the PCIe Interface? Peripheral Component Interface - express (PCIe) is a bus that allows expansion cards inside your computer to communicate with other components. You use the PCIe system by putting cards into slots on the motherboard. These cards can be things like graphics cards, RAID cards, network cards, even co-processors. How Does the PCIe Interface Work? What Exactly Is A Lane? How Does All This Affect Me?

Okay, so right now I have a Intel 4460. When I check the specs of it on Intel's website, this is what it shows, Does this mean that if I get a GPU I cannot use any other of my PCIE lanes?

Hi! (my first post here:) With the Pascal launching i´m fixing to put together a new rig. It will be one GTX 1080 and some sort of NVME SSD (leaning towards intel 750) preferrably a 6700k CPU. And then the PCIe bottleneck question came to mind! I want to have the option to upgrade with another GPU in the future without sacrificing performance. So what i have trouble figuering out is if i can run 1080-SLI AND a PCIe-SSD (like the intel 750) without running into trouble. Any and all constructive input and advice i will be most grateful for:) The system as is planned right now: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z170 MARK 1 i7 6700K GTX 1080 (dual in SLI in the future) Intel 750 400GB PCIe SSD Corsair HX1000i And if i wanted to add an M.2 SSD like the Samsung 950, would that be possible since the new motherboards has more modern motherboard chipsets? Thanks in advance! -
Quick question regarding PCIe lanes. The CPU I'm using has 16 in total, and I'm running a graphics card and a wifi card in the system. I assume this means that they are both running on 8X. Will this effect performance? I haven't noticed a decrease in graphics performance since I put in the wifi card so I would think probably not. Would it begin to be affected if I added, say, a PCIe SSD and dropped it down to 1x8 + 2x4?

In choosing between H170 and Z170 what does Chipset PCI-E Lanes ,Maximum HSIO Lanes and Processor PCIe Configuration mean? Processor - Skylake 6600 GPU - GTX 960 4GB I'm confused between GA-Z170-D3H, GA-Z170M-D3H and GA-H170-Gaming 3 Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have the Asus Maximus VI Extreme, Intel i-7 4790, with 4x8GB(Total 32GB) RAM and 2x MSI 980Ti's. I want to add a Samsung 950 Pro 512(orMore)GB to my system.. So i can video edit on my SSD and when i'm done with the project can just move all the files it to a HDD. But I don't know if i have enough PCI lanes.. http://www.nexthardware.com/repository/recensioni/823/immagini/MAximus-VI-Extreme-Slot-PCIE.jpg My videocards are in slot: 1 and 2B I can't change the slot of the videocards because of a non flexiable SLI-bridge Is it possiable to connect a 950 Pro ? without any drawbacks of my Peformance(videocards)? Thanks for the help, Kevin Sorry for Bad English, I'm from Holland.

I will be re-purposing my old PC with an athlon x4 760k as a basic file server and was wondering how many PCI-E lanes it had for network cards and the like? Thanks, James

Hi, just a quick question, i'm not a PC noob but i am very confused at something, processors have a set amount of PCIe lanes (16 on Skylake) but the mobo, or better yet, the Chipset have another PCIe Lanes (100 series=20). My question is why, what does the CPU does and what does the chipset does, i'm aware that the interconnect between the CPU and Chipset is the new DMI 3.0, about 4GB/s soooooo what's going on . I'm planing to upgrade my computer next year, Z170, Skylake, 16GB DDR4, new Nvidia 16nm FF+ (SLI), Silent Case, etc. and the PCIe Lanes are necessary for my build (SLI+Thunderbolt 3+ Maybe M.2 or PCIe Based SSD), Dunno if i will wait for Kaby Lake + 200 series for 24 PCIe lanes... i mean it's for Q4 2016... Thanks!!! Btw recommendations for a good silent case with nice airflow? i live in Mexico so Fractal Define is a no no, no avail and international shipping is very expensive. Cheers!

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am having a few quarrels with myself over a PC I am planning out. My initial plan was to go with an i7 6700k on a Maximus Hero VIII, dual SLI ASUS Strix 980Ti's, and because of some recent purchases (Elgato HD60 Pro and professional sound card to integrate audio through my Mackie Mixer) and I realized the 6700k only has 16 PCI lanes. I know it's doable since a GPU can run at x16/x8/x4/x1 right? So I'd have a GPU at x8, one at x4 (or does it not do that when using SLI?) and my sound card and Elgato both at x1 correct? As much as I'd like to keep this as inexpensive as possible if I have to go to Haswell-E to build this I SUPPOSE I can.... For good measure, this is the partlist I have so far. I already own the ZXR Sound card and Elgato as I'm learning how to use them with my older build now. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/zelgiusthebrave/saved/MFNhP6

On the intel site, in the 4790k's specs, there is 16 as the max number of pci-e lanes. If I install a gtx 970 on my pc, does this mean I can't add anything else such as an audio card or a Wifi card?

Hi, Iin the build i am planning i would like to have 2 graphics cards (EVGA GTX970 ACX2.0 - newegg sells them for £225) in SLI. (Note: i will be buying these at different times, so dont suggest a 2011v3 board/cpu). Unfortunaltly this will leave me without the option to add any more cards because i am planning on using the i5 4690k, a 1150 socket CPU with 16 lanes. And you require a minimum of 8 lanes for SLI. After some research i have found that most motherboards are in a 16 0 0, 8 8 0 then 4 4 4 if you use all the 16x PCIe lanes, but in someone mentioned a board with an onboard chip that let the board use a 8 8 4 configuration that would let me have a last card. Although it appeared that the card had reduced speeds, that doesnt really bother me. You might ask why i need a 3rd card. Well, whats the point on having 3 16x slots and 7 all together if you cant utilise them, but also because i may need to have a WiFi card. But also the option to expand with out having to a ) get a board and CPU on the 2011 socket, which are much more expensive or b ) wait till skylake comes out, but it will be expensive and i only get substantial amounts of money for my birthday and christmas, which is why 2 GTX970 would work for me, but a 2011 wouldnt. TL;DR Mobo that can run SLI with another card on the 1150 socket. Thanks in advance, matt I didnt add my PCPartPicker build because i didnt think it would be relevant, but if you want to see it is on my Bio.

So I'm looking at the i5-4690K for my first gaming build, and I saw it only supported 16 lanes, basically for one graphics card running on a 16x slot. If I put a wireless adapter card into one of the PCIe 1x slots, is that going to detract from the PCIe 16x slot to make room for the 1x slot?
-
My question goes like this: Every CPU has a limited amount of PCIe lanes, for the Pentium G3258, this is 16 lanes. But that's for PCIe, what about regular old Peripheral Component Interconnect(PCI)? No express, just regular PCI. How many lanes, if any, does PCI use?

Hey there, i was wondering what kind of % loss id get in gaming if i'm going to go with a dual 980ti setup with a 28 lane 5820k over getting the 5930k with 40 lanes. am i able to run 2 gpus at all with the 5820k 28 lanes, or is it just a performence % loss?
-
Hi i have: Intel I7 5930K BOX It has 40 MAX OF PCIE LANES I want to know what this means. Thanks. Can i have 4-way sli GTX 980 Ti? Thanks for help.
-
So the Z170 cpus have only 16 pcie lanes... This means we cant have a sli and a M.2 boot drive(or even better sli +raid 0 m.2) like we could with the 5820k and more so with the 5830k What are your thoughts or solutions to this if there are any? Again 16 Pcie lanes why so few??? for a newer chip and with m.2 taking off so fast now?? Thanks for posting!
-
Say you are running a CPU that supports 16 PCI-E lanes and you are using two nVIDIA cards in SLI (8X/8X). What would happen if you put another PCI-E based card in? (e.g. Network adapter, sound card, SSD etc.)
-
Title. Basically, if you plug a network card into a PCI slot, will you have a decreased amount of lanes for PCIe?

Hi all! I have a question regarding CPU lanes and how they effect in general. So I have build myself a PC and in the future I see me adding an WI-FI card to the system ( for enabling wi-fi threw connectify., or conneting to the web by wi-fi...). Now I did some research and found out that my CPU (i5 4460) supports 16 lanes and that my motherboard MSI z87 g43 gaming has the appropriate PCI express for my graphic card MSI R9 280 gaming 3g which is PCI express 3.0 16x. Now I looked for some wi fi cards and found some that work with an PCI slot and/or PCI express slot. And now the questions. If I put an wi fi card in the system lets say it works on 1x or 2x does this mean that my graphics card wil now work on 8x? And if it will, what kind of effect will this have on the performance of the graphics card? Or if the wi fi card connects threw the PCI slot 1x and the graphics card is in the PCIe 16x 3.0 will it work on 16 x regardless?

2 questions for the sake of knowledge 1 can you oc buffered, registered or ecc ram 2 how can the asrock x99 extreme11 and the asus x99-e ws support 4 way sli with all four card running 16x pci lanes on a 40 lane cpu and does anyone of these mb support oc thanks

I'm upgrading my PC and am getting confused over what I need in a MB and CPU. Specifically, how many lanes does my PC need to support for my parts to work properly. I'm new to this so these questions may be basic. Here's what I want to install: 2x GTX970 in SLI (8x-8x I assume?) 1x sound card (1x PCIe) 1x wifi card (1x PCIe) Does this mean I need a MB that supports a minimum of 18 PCI lanes? I read somewhere that a MB with 16 lanes will disable the second GPU in SLI when a third PCIe device is installed as this exceeds the lane limit of the MB? Is this correct and how do I tell how many lanes a MB supports? I was thinking about purchasing the ASUS Maximus VII Hero and an Intel 4690k. Does this work?

Source; http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/22009-Massive-FPS-gains-in-rf2-using-PCI-e-3-0-x16-with-higher-end-cards! Is this story an Intel plant hoping this will go viral in an effort to force users off Sandy Bridge? Will AMD be forced to 'rush' a chipset supporting PCIe 3.0 to market?! The general consensus up until now is that there are almost negliable performance gains running GPUs over PCIe 3.0 x16 versus x8 / PCIe 2.0 x16, especially at lower resolutions. TechAde on the rFactor 2 forum however has pointed the finger at the PCIe bus as to the reason a performance disparity exists benchmarking the game on identical GPUs. And he appears to be correct?! I've posted MrPix's benchmarking results below; PCIe 2 vs 3..... with desktop and game at 1080p and scaling on Display not GPU... GPU: EVGA GTX 980 SC OC #1 (1550MHz, Mem 1900MHz, TDP < 88%) PCIe 2.0 @ x16 Time: 67875ms - Avg: 145.655 - Min: 113 - Max: 176 PCIe 3.0 @ x16 Time: 67627ms - Avg: 187.975 - Min: 153 - Max: 216 so a 29% average increase, 22% max, and the most important ... 35% min increase on a single card! Pasted from; http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/21983-Live-Performance-Benchmarking-Comparison-for-rFactor-2?p=311380&viewfull=1#post311380 DrR1pper reports his GTX 970 suffers a 12% performance drop due to PCIe 2.0 x16 - thanks to his Sandy Bridge processor.
