I have an "MSI STREAMING BOOST video card" which is internal and i have used it previously, including last week for a few minutes. It now will show up in Device Manager, OBS, and SLOBS however will not produce video, sometimes i hear the connect/ disconnect sound which may or may not be related to me fucking with settings. Ive tried searching automatically for drivers through device manager, different hdmi cables, 2 different consoles, changing the pci slot that its in, uninstalling and reinstalling both the card and softwares. Im not SUPER tech savvy so I really just dont know where to go from here for trouble shooting does anyone have any ideas? Ive scoured the internet for 2 whole days with zero luck. Please and thanks in advance <3

suggestion Suggestion: Rasberry Pi 4 PciE Mod (link included)
RainbowKittyPaw posted a topic in Off Topic
Someone has found a way to tap into the Pci-E capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 4 via the USB ports etc. Now we just need drivers. Sounds like an awesome video idea and a project for the forum. https://www.tomshardware.co.uk/raspberry-pi-modder-explores-pcie-potential,news-61615.html-

My PC Specs (3 Years Old): CPU: Intel i5-6500 GPU: Sapphire Nitro R9 390 RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB 2133MHz DDR4 Motherboard: B150M-A Power Supply: Seasonic 620W 80+ Bronze S12II It all started 2 weeks ago. I noticed that my PC would freeze and go black screen whenever the server's map is changed in CS:GO. I thought it's just a game problem since I found a lot of posts on the internet of people having this problem, so my short-term solution was to disconnect from the server just before the map changed and then reconnect to the server and it worked. A week later I played Prey (the first time I tried a non CS:GO game since the problem) and after a few minutes the blackscreen-freeze happened. That's when I figured out it wasn't just a CS:GO problem. I decided I'll try to reinstall my GPU drivers using DDU. I also thought I'll open my PC case to see if there's anything wrong and clean it from a lot of dust it had inside on the way using a hair dryer on cold mode. I also disconnected the PSU and GPU (applied a little too much force I think when disconnecting the GPU from the PCI-E slot) so that I can clean the case more thoroughly. When I reconnected everything and booted my screen said it got no signal. When I tried to connect the HDMI cable to the MOBO it worked. Now, I can't remember if I used DDU to uninstall my drivers before my GPU stopped working or after (I think it was before) so I'm not sure if it could've affected the problem. My GPU wasn't recognizable by the BIOS or Device Manager. I couldn't reinstall the drivers since AMD's software didn't detect any AMD GPU. For a few days I tried EVERYTHING: I made sure that all the PSU cables are connected in the right place, I tried switching the PSU to GPU cable with a new one, I tried using both an HDMI and a DisplayPort, I tried switching the RAM to another slot (no idea how that could help, I was pretty desperate haha) I even tried to boot Ubuntu from a USB to make sure it's not a problem with my Windows Installation / drivers (too lazy to format my PC). Unfortunately my motherboard has only 1 PCI-E express and I don't have another PC or a friend with one who lives close, so I couldn't (and still can't) test the GPU in another system to test if it works. I got to a conclusion that It's probably my GPU because of the problems I had in games and since the PC worked fine, and the only thing that didn't is the GPU. So I did a mistake and bought a new Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT (for 600$!) today thinking I can finally play again after a while I couldn't. And... after connecting my new GPU turned out I was wrong and wasted my 600$... The GPU LED turned on and the fans spun (unlike the R9 390, who's fans werent spinning) but still the same problem. No signal, GPU not recognized and I can't install drivers. I'm pretty upset about wasting those 600$ since the R9 390 is enough for my gaming needs atm. I think I'm going to try and sell the 5700 XT for 550$ Now I still need to figure out if the problem is the PSU, or the PCI-E slot. The LED on the 5700 XT lights even without the PSU connected to the GPU, so it gets it's power from the MOBO (which means the PCI-E isn't completely dead) But the fans start spinning when I connected the PSU to the GPU, So I'm still not sure which one is the cause for all of this. Would be happy if you could help me figure it out so I won't waste any more money. I added 2 images of my PCI-E slot in case anyone can find a problem there. I checked it both from the front and the back and couldn't find anything wrong.

I have just ordered a pair of rosewell server chassis. I alreadya few 1u chenbro server chassies and they have hot-swap SATA/SAS trays in the front. I also have IBM rack-mount TR4 tape tray. My thought or question.. can I use a PCI mining style riser for other pci devices? My goal is to remove the two tape drives out of the enclosure it's 1u maybe 16" deep. And replace them with a Blu-ray burner in one Bay with something else in the other... Then using some type of PCI riser from another server to a SATA controller card to run the drives... The unit currently uses scsi. That was ran off a dual P2 server. I would like to do the same thing with my other 1u chassis... Stripping out the old Intel board and processors and running the raid controller off my new servers via PCI risers. Has anyone done this or any reason it wouldn't work? Can any pci card run via riser?

I have an Asus Z170-A that's now a few years old. When I built my current PC I could only afford conventional 250GB SATA SSD and 1TB HDD combination. My Steam games are on the HDD. With prices falling I would like to upgrade storage to move my games on to some combination of SSDs. I could easily add a single m2 SSD, but I also started to look at the possibility of a RAID 0 configuration making use of the dedicated m2 and also a vacant PCIe slot. I'm confused about PCIe lanes and if my board will support two new SSDs in this configuration? I have a GTX 1070 at 16x and from what I can see the Z170-A has 16+4 lanes. If I try to run an m2 at 4x and another in a PCIe slot at 4x, will I be over what's possible? Would I perhaps need to run the 1070 at 8x? Is this proposition even a good idea??

So I don't know why this has never crossed my mind before, but I was just thinking about how to use a PCI-E slot to get USB 3.0 on my older PC. I started thinking about transfer rates and slot bandwidth, so the topic flipped in my head to my Wifi card, because I have it in a PCI-E x1 slot on my motherboard. It is running and older v2.0 PCI-E version, which means the max bandwidth is 500MB/s correct? So how on earth would I actually be able to get the "867MB/s" theoretical speeds on that? I guess I would have to get a new mobo that supported at least v3.0 to get those speeds, so technically I'm bottlenecked by my motherboard? If so that sucks, but such is life I suppose. If I am missing something here, please enlighten me. If I didn't learn anything out of this I would feel foolish to have posted this to the good people of LTT Forums. Godspeed, Ed

Hey, at first I bought an MSI b450 motherboard and a ryzen 5 2400g with intent to upgrade. I now have it paired up with a 1070 Ti and I'm waiting for 3rd gen ryzen. I have a 120gb sata ssd for my boot drive and a 1tb hdd for the other stuff but I've seen quite good deals on a 1tb intel 660p which is an NVMe drive but I don't know if I have enough dedicated pci-e lanes with this cpu ? I saw that my cpu has 12 pci-e lanes, 8 for gpu and 4 for NVMe drives but I have my gpu in a x16 slot, does it take up all my pci-e lanes and will my motherboard recognize the drive or should I get a new cpu first ? Thanks.

So I recently purchased one of the Thermaltake Toughpower RGB 850W Gold PSU’s for my in-progress Threadripper build. The description of the 850W PSU showed support for two ATX 12 V (4+4 pin), so I bought it thinking that it would support both CPU power connections for my MB. However, the Power Supply has an extra socket labeled PCI-E rather than CPU which I find odd, especially considering that it shows support for 2 CPU power connections. Can I use that extra PCI-E socket on the PSU for CPU power? The pins line up the same; does the label really matter? The color of the PCI-E sockets are also different to the CPU socket which makes me believe that there is a difference. I have 2 days left on the return policy if I need to replace it.

I have an HP Z420 ATX board with a e5-2690. Using 1333mhz ecc ram. I got a successful system post. I unplugged power and then installed a CPU cooler. I then booted the system , now with the cpu fan installed , and I begun to smell burning electronics (that distinct smell) but saw no smoke. I cut power. After smelling and removing my GPU (Quadro k4000) which I thought was the issue (it shipped in brown paper and the brackets were bent from shipping) it turns out the smell is coming directly from the first few fingers on the PCIE slot the GPU was in. No visible damage on the board or GPU, but the slot smella of that electronic smoke smell. The system now with config that posted will not post , with 5 red light /beeps which the manual States is a pre-video error and to reseat DIMMs. I've reseated them, swapped sticks , used multiple sticks , and the system now refuses to post. I did try with the GPU in another PCIE slot that doesn't smell and tried with no gpu at all, and got the same 5 red lights , 2 sec pause. What happened to the PCIE slot ? Did the GPU maybe cause it? Is the slot definitely destroyed ? How does a PCIE slot give me a apparently RAM error ? Is the board toast? Is the GPU toast ?

I haven't been able to find much help on the internet, because I think my wireless card is trash anyways. Anyways its so inconsistent, I should be getting 100 Mbps or more but I get somewhere between 10-40, and it's always low. BTW my internet is 5g. My brother's pc, who is further away from the router than I am, gets well over 100 Mbps! Only when I use my PC's wireless do I get such slow speeds, its frustrating when I lag when I play games. Sometimes I can get up to 70 to 80 but that's VERY RARE. My wireless card is a Rosewill WiFi Adapter / Wireless Adapter / PCI-E Network Card, 802.11AC Dual Band AC1300 PCI Express Network Adapter, and I just think it's a heap of junk but I don't have money to buy a better wireless card, because all of the ones I've found that have good reviews are all close to or over $100 Also, I can't do ethernet 24/7 because if I do then the ethernet cable is in the middle of a hallway and it gets in the way.

I have ordered for a mini PCI-E external graphic card dock. https://m.banggood.in/Mini-PCI-E-Version-V8_0-EXP-GDC-Beast-Laptop-External-Independent-Video-Card-Dock-p-1011222.html?rmmds=search But i found out today that my WiFi port was NGFF slot. So does using this as a connector decrease the gaming performance in any way? https://www.amazon.in/Buyyart-mSATA-Adapter-Replacement-Converter/dp/B075TDTRN1/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=2RQQC3NHFKPJL&keywords=ngff+to+mini+pcie&qid=1553355626&s=gateway&sprefix=ngff+to+mini+pc&sr=8-1

I am looking for a graphics card that does not require power (or very little) from the PCI-e slot and gets most of its power from a 6 or 8-pin PCI-e connector. Do any cards exist that do this? I am running my graphics card through a PCI-e riser, but my case only supports very flexible riser cards. I have a riser card that fits in the case, but cannot transfer enough power from the PCI-e slot to the card for it to run. Other riser cards I have bought that are shielded better are able to power the card, but do not fit into my case. My current graphics card is a MSI Radeon R7 370. Thanks!

So I have an EVGA 1080 card and it has two 8 pin power connectors. I have been using, and this is a bit hard to explain so I’m going to peace-meal it.2 separate pci-e cables.They both have two 6+2 connectors on the ends.I have each of them plugged into an adapter that takes two 6 pin connectors and turns them into an 8 pin.These 8 pin connectors are plugged into my gpu and it has been working.So my question is for cable management purposes, can I get rid of the adapters and one of the cables, and just use a single cable that has two 6+2 gpu power cables on the end?

With one connection to a power-hungry or overclocked card your system under heavy load may shut itself down and reboot! I have to share my case for anyone who is making his build decision or troubleshooting an issue. There are several topics on this forum about it (one pcie cable or two separate, etc.), but they are fairly inconclusive. This one will not fit every instance either, but may save someone his time in a similar situation. I've got an Aorus Xtreme 2080 Ti from Gigabyte. It's factory-overclocked to 1770Hz boost and has 2x 8-pin pci-e connectors. Initially I've plugged one 8-pin cable with two connectors between my card and Corsair HX1000i. But with high graphics preset in Red Dead Redemption 2 I've got instant-reboots of my PC in some cutscenes (including intro) and in the middle of the game. In cutscenes crashes were at the same place everytime: right after when Dutch calls Arthur in the intro or after words "there will be a party!" in another cutscene. Some tweaks in graphic settings helped temporarily (disabling MSAA, lowering shadow quality, changing resolution scale). There were no overheating, as sensors were telling. After that I tested my system in FurMark. At 720p there were no issues initially. But at 1080p reboot happened again after about five minutes. At another time it was triggered by alt-tabbing out of fullscreen FurMark test. Additionally pressing "reset" button in MSI Afterburner with 720p windowed FurMark in the background would trigger the crash too (consistently), even though I haven't touched any OC controls. So when I realised the thing about cables and added one, these reboots were gone. With one cable max power draw from 12V rails of the PSU was about 300 watts (seen in Corsair's Link) when one of the reboots in FurMark happened. After replugging draw was over 360 watts with jumps up to 396. There is a CPU's share in it ofc., HWiNFO tells around (and slightly higher than) 300 for the GPU alone now. When I was preparing for and building my system, I watched many helpful videos from LTT, JayzTwoCents, Paul's Hardware, Bitwit and others. But that one from Jayz I interpreted wrongly. Since the tests showed real difference (outside of margin of error I think) I should've gone with two cables from the start. The root cause of reboots themselves may be connected to a PSU playing safe with his over-current protection (and I thank it for that I guess). Or may be it's something else. It would be good to know, but I'm done with hard-rebooting my system. Any insight will be appreciated. Hope this case will help someone!

I built my own personal computer some time ago and I've mainly been using an Ethernet cable for my network but as time goes on there have been multiple situations where wireless internet would've been great. I also have an X-Box controller I use when playing platformer games (Cuphead, Hollow Knight etc..) and so I'd like to get bluetooth as well and after some snooping around the internet it says that some WiFi cards come with bluetooth and some don't so how do I identify that? The "Asus PCE-AC55BT" says it comes with bluetooth, but it requires a USB connector which I'm not sure I have available on motherboard anymore not being used

I was given an HP Pavilion p7-1534 a little while back, it's been my main PC for some light gaming and music through my surround sound speakers. Recently I took up editing videos for a friend and getting into some more gaming as well as some 3D modeling using Autodesk Fusion 360, the 8gb's of ram and the quad core CPU have been good enough in the past. Being me I grabbed a cheap 10 dollar graphics card off eBay to test the PCI-E slot before I dropped money on a more expensive card for some gaming and 3D modeling, I discovered that the slot is either dead or BIOS locked to prevent upgrading. I was wondering if it was possible that the slot is just locked and through some tweaking it could be unlocked. The card is a Radeon HD 5450 so barely any power draw, so I know the slot isn't power restraint. Not to mention there are no marking's on the board or any information on the HP website to lead to that. Anyone have some ideas? Hacked BIOS or something?

Hello ltt forum, first I´d like to explain my situation to you. I study and work in a different city from my parents’ house and I visit them 1-2 times a month on the weekend. I have a pc in both locations now, because my brother left his old pc (without graphics card) at my parents’ house. So now I thought that I can just take my RX 480 with me when I´m visiting my parents and take it back with me every time, but a friend of me said that repluging it that often might wear out the PCIE plug. I currently don´t have any funds for a second card, so that would be the only option. I didn´t find anything online about this, so what do you guys think?

So i want to make a small gaming pc, i have the GPU ( GTX1080) But i need the rest, I was looking at the I5 9600K but i see that this one only supports 16 PCI-e Lanes. So if i where to have the GPU in an x16 and add a M.2 Storage. This would mean that the M.2 uses 4 lanes and the GPU only gets 12 Lanes? Would this really impact GPU performance later on if i would upgrade to the RTX series later on? BTW the computer would just be used for Gaming only, nothing fancy like 4K But will be used for VR.

TL;DR Need a cheap and reliable PCI-E 1X Sata3 Controller and no need for raid... I'm looking for a decent PCI-E 1X Sata3 controller for an old rig that only has Sata2 onboard... I need something reliable but not too pricey and don't need raid.. It's for an old gaming rig I dug up for my 10y/o niece when she moved in with me. It has a C2Q Q9550, 8Gb DDR3 ram and a 4Gb GTX680 and runs most fairly recent games well (so long as they don't need SSE4.2). But the Sata2 controller seems to be a sticking point for games that stream a lot in from the HDD such as open world games like Fallout, Skyrim (non-SE) and GTA IV/EFLC. Frame rates are decent once and area is fully loaded but as you cross the map it stumbles quite a bit as things try loading in... Now I played Skyrim on this HDD and Video card before and it ran fine, And the CPU is better then I had back when that game was new so the only weak point I can see is the Sata2 interface. So I'm hoping an Sata3 interface and an SSD with help smooth it out

Perhaps a curious question, and it's doubtful I'll try getting a new GPU before the end of the current dumpster fire that is this year, but has anyone seen (or tested personally) benchmarks of the 3k series cards when they're limited to 8 PCI-E lanes? I know the CPU bottlenecking question has been asked to death as well as the PCI-E 3.0 vs 4.0 question...my question is specifically in regards to x8 vs. x16 (though I suppose PCI-E 3 vs. 4 might make a difference there as well). I'm curious if x8 would severely hamper the cards. I'm thinking I would build a new system in the not terribly distant future, but was also considering getting a 3k card in my current system while leaving the current card in place (primarily for BOINC and F@H-type work)...but I admit I'd rather not kill my gaming performance if I can help it. The GPU config with my CPU/chipset/motherboard will cut the slots to x8/x8 if both are populated. If the performance cut would be severe, I was also thinking of grabbing another 1080Ti off ebay for about $300 less than a 3080 (again, for BOINC/F@H).

The basic question is whether PCI express lines are separable, i.e. can I split the PCI-e x16 interface into 16x PCI-e x1 connectors and connect 16 different periphelials? Exactly, I would like to split PCI express X4 into 2 PCI express X2, connect one nvme x2 disk to one(Corsair mp300), and to the other conector a graphic card.

will dual slot card fit in g31-m3-v2 mobo? yes i know it sounds stupid but: the space between the pcie and the thing where you plug mic and headphones is small. check for pictures on the internet and you will get me. thx for your help and time.

About a year ago I started having issues with an Asus strix gtx 970. It would randomly black screen and artifact when attempting to install drivers (or from what I could tell whenever I tried to do something intensive). This was quite weird so I gave it to my friend to try in his pc. It ended up working for about an hour before going back to freezing up on a black screen. This was really weird so I sent it to Asus as it was still under warranty. However, they sent it back claiming that they didn't have the parts to fix it and made me pay shipping. I tried to contact support however, they just said to send it in for an rma. That didn't really work the first time... Around this time I got another computer it was a test bench. I decided to test the graphics card in this because why not. Low and behold it worked perfectly. This is when a thought occurred to me, I pulled the pci-e power connector the other way and it went right back to black screening. So I concluded that the power connector must be bad. This is where things get weird. After trying some different power connectors I found one that worked perfectly even when I pulled it around. However, after about an hour the card black screened again. After restarting, the card worked fine again. I'm wondering if the heat from the heat from the heat pipe right next to the connector might have had something to do with it? Either way I really want to have this card back. The warranty on it is currently up so I'm stuck to fix it on my own. Anyone have any ideas?
