I am Building a computer, yes for mining... Intel E3 1275 V6 supports only 16 PCI-E lanes and i am planning to put 19 gpus in my Computer... I guessed that it wont work but better be sure than sorry so i am asking that here. Will it work or i need to put in a processor with atleast 19+ PCI-E lanes? https://ark.intel.com/products/97478/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1275-v6-8M-Cache-3_80-GHz (Number of PCI-E lanes under Expansion options) https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/B250-MINING-EXPERT/ (motherboard)

Hello, i have a 6600k and a z170 mobo. I currently have attached a GTX 1060,NVME m.2 SSD and 4 Storage drives. I wanted to know if i could use this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391853307718 to connect up another 3 graphics cards for cryptocurrency mining (i'm a student who doesn't pay for electricity and im bored). the cards i have to connect are GT710 GT 730 and a R7770. side note: i have a 650 watt power suply will it cope aswell?

Hey all! So I have a system planned that I'll be building in Q1 2018 (delayed, since I'd like to wait and scope out Zen 2) and I have been planning on using this: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Graphics-Cards/Accessories/70033-MCA-U000R-KFVK00?gclid=CjwKCAiAsejRBRB3EiwAZft7sIw1gKs7ZLcRz7BCEsFoDyQongZfIm_7sqS2CQstHYjEaJxonXFZERoCHYYQAvD_BwE to mount an Asus 1060 6GB Strix Gaming in a Mastercase Pro 5 since that vertical bracket and riser were designed specifically for this case. However, I realised that my router is in a different room to where the PC will be, and since I only have one ADSL socket in my house (in the room where the router is currently) I would have to run an ethernet cable through the ceiling. I can't do this for many reasons I won't bore you with. This means I need to get a wifi card. I am aware that the CM Vertical Mount takes up all the expansion slots on the Mastercase Pro 5, so that won't work. Given that I would like to mount the GPU vertically while also having a wifi card in there somewhere, I need to find any way to do this. So, are there any methods for doing this (DIY being a last resort) in this case that would allow me to mount a graphics card vertically while also having a PCI-E wifi card. I'd also like to avoid GPU sag in any way possible (why I chose the CM mount originally, it fully supports the card). If it helps, the motherboard is an Asus ROG Strix X370-F. Thanks in advance!

Hi im planning on building a server that i will be placing close to my workstation. Instead of running another ethernet cable all the way from my switch to the same location are there any pci/-e card that works as an extender, so i can use my current cable and simply use a shorter one from the server to my computer. and if there is, will the server have to be turned on to be able to use the internet on my computer, if so i guess i'll rather go with a small switch thanks in advance

I have a single GTX 1080 FE currently, and my second one is supposed to be here tomorrow. As you can see in the picture, the PCI-E cable has an extra 8-pin not in use. In the interest of cable management/aesthetics, would I be able to use this extra 8-pin for the second 1080? So just to reiterate, a single PCI-E cable from the PSU, which has two 8-pin connectors at the end, would be powering two GTX 1080s in SLI. I am just not sure if there would be any negative performance effects if I tried this. Thank you in advance.

Hello I have a core p5 case and i recently bought a second gtx 970 and a z97s krait edition from msi. I love to have my gpus vertically mounted but changing the mb from a z97k from asus to this I don't know why but if i use the 16x pci-e riser cable my gpus don't work even with only one but if i put them directly in the motherboard everything works fine. I am using the original riser of Thermaltake. how can i solve this problem?? Please apologize me if i have done mistakes writing but i'm not English, thanks.

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

purely for aesthetics and because I won't be spending $1,000 on a graphics card for a few more years, I am using my 2nd slot instead of my first, which is a pci-e 3.0 x8 slot. If I were going to upgrade my graphics card what is the highest I would want to go? Would say a GTX 980 or 1070 bottleneck at all on a 3.0 x8 slot?

I wanted to get new sleeved cables for my rig and I was wondering if anyone can give me the name of the PCI-E power cable for my graphics card. The Asus 1080 Strix needs 8 pin and a 6 pin connector. I have seen plenty of 8 pin to dual 6+2 Pin cables,... but then I'll just have a dangling 2 pin connector. Worst comes to worse, I'll just get an 8 pin and 6 pin sleeved extender, but I would rather just buy the direct cable since I am space limited in my ITX case. PSU: EVGA 650W Supernova P2 Graphics Card: Asus 1080 Strix Case: NZXT Manta

Sata SSD's & m.2 pci on Asus Z170S motherboard
D0nk posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hi I've run out on space on my 250 GB ssd boot drive. So naturally an upgrade is in order. I've got my eyes set on the Samsung 950 Pro 512 Gb m.2. But I also have 4 HDD + 1 ssd plugged in using sata, and I can't go on without them. The motherboard have 6 sata ports. When looking in the manual for my motherboard (Asus Z170S Sabertooth) it says: The m.2 socket shares sata ports with Sata Express_1 port. Adjust Bios settings to use an m.2 device. I can't completely figure this out. I have 0 sata express devices plugged in, but will all 6 of my sata ports remain active when using an m.2, or will some of my sata ports be deactivated along with sata express_1 when using an m.2? Link to the manual: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/SABERTOOTH_Z170_S/E10962_SABERTOOTH_Z170_S_UM_WEB.pdf?_ga=1.60817199.323762267.1468156115 -
Before i start allow me to introduce you with the PC hardware i wanted to buy as my new workstation. Motherboard: Asus z170 ws CPU: INTEL 6700K DRIVE: SAMSUNG SSD 951 SM (m.2) RAM: 32GB DDR4 3000MHz VGA 1: Asus gtx 970 strix (from previous pc) VGA 2: an under 100 dollar vga just for the 2 extra monitors Network: asus 10Gb ethernet card Now let me explain my problem. After going through some research i discovered that the pci-e 3 and pci-e 2 lanes on the ws z170 would bearly be enough to handle everything. As follows: Pci-e 3 lanes 16x gtx 970 8x vga no2 Pci-e 2 lanes 4x 10Gbps ethernet card The m.2 as the support of Asus claims doesn't use the pci-e lanes but intead it uses the sata controllers bandwith at the expense of the nvme features. But the tech devision that aparently my ticket was send never confirmed it. And now my questions: 1) Is the above scenario even possible? 2) If i put another m.2 in a raid 0 and make a file transfer over the network of my NAS that also has 10GB ethernet connection and can utilize it to it's full potential. And while that file is been transfer i download torrents and game at the same pc with none cpu demanding game just to stress some bandwith of the pci lanes and the cpu a bit. Will the 6700k be able to handle this traffic? 1 large file transfer, 1 torrent download with 20mbps and some gaming would be enough traffic for the 6700k to be the bottleneck in this case?

I've an MSI R9 390 8GB. I also have a Corsair 850W PSU, with 70a on the +12v rail. It claims it's rated for SLI/Crossfire, but only has two PCI-e cable ports, and runs two 6+2 pins on each cable. Is it safe, and/or reasonable, to run my R9 390 off a single cable, using the 6pin and 6+2pin from the same cable?

Hello, I'm just wondering, will PCI-E 2.0 bottleneck any GPUs? I am thinking of getting a new motherboard, but I feel it could be better invested.

Ok so I built a computer last year, 400 bucks pretty cheap to fit my needs and I am using the AMD am3+ socket type (yeah yeah intel master race I just prefer AMD's performance and price personally) so when I went shopping to start I found a cheap gigabyte motherboard that supported my needs and a pcie 2.0x16 video card which happened to be a 2gb card from MSI which i THOUGHT would suit my gaming needs for a little while anyways... since im typing this you can cleary tell it didnt. So I started shopping for 4gb graphics cards preferably with Nvidia hardware around the 200-300 dollar range (im working off a very tight budget) for 2.0x16... I find litterally nothing, I find no cards I would trust inside my system with a 2.0x16 socket type let alone anything under 3.0 minimum so I change tactics and search for 3.0 socket motherboards and find a few but that was almost four months ago, coming back to my issue all my previous boards are just flat gone (links lead to nothing) and I can barely find mention of the 3.0x16 socket type on a motherboard for my cpu (which I do NOT have the money to replace [its an 8 core anyways and barely a year old so i shouldnt need to regardless]) and so I turn to you all's infinite wisdom. LTT is the group that inspired my first custom built system and now I ask for help, I need an AMD am3+ socket typed motherboard with pcie 3.0 - 3.0x16 and an nvidia card with 4gb of graphics (for 2.0x16 or 3.0x16, its really just what you find) for roughly three hundred dollars or less. And to round it off no Im not being stingy three hundred is litterally my entire budget for this upgrade, I have money going into better peripherals that I simply cant ignore any longer and if I dont upgrade to at least 4gb soon (2.0 or 3.0 I dont care at this point) im not going to get another chance until four years from now when I'll have once more saved up enough. Thats about it. sorry I was so long winded

The thing is that I build a PC on a desk top, but to actually screw the graphics card I need 2 PCIe x16 cables. Any advice on which one and where I should buy them? I did some research (newegg, amazon and ebay) but they all look the same. I'm from Chile so I'll have to import them, I don't mind spending extra cash in order to get some decent high quality working cables (in case they fail there is no chance of refund). Thanks

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?

In the past I have heard some people say that the Z170 chipset from Intel adds 4 pci-e lanes on top of the amount of pci-e lanes the cpu you have adds. i am very confused, any answer would be greatly appreciated.

For a while I've noticed that my game performance (fps) will drop sometimes; it has happened in any game I've played recently (Star Wars: Battlefront, CoD: Black Ops III, Crysis 2). I always have the overlay from EVGA precision running, and when frames per second were low, it would still show the normal boost clock between 1177 and 1189 MHz and near 100% GPU usage. After adding a few more parameters to observe, I noticed that in those instances it was the GPU power that would drop from ~90%+ to as low as 60 or 70%. This will usually happen after resuming from sleep (which my pc doesn't really do properly anyway--it may go to sleep for a second or several minutes and then wake up), but it has sometimes happened right after boot up. Usually a system reboot will fix this, but it is quite annoying to have to do that all the time. I contacted EVGA, and they suggested changing the Nvidia power management setting to "Maximum Performance", monitoring the +12V power rail, and even trying the card in the secondary PCI-e slot. So far, I have made the following conclusions: With Nvidia's maximum performance setting, I do not have any issues. With Nvidia power management set to either "Adaptive" or "Optimal", I can observe this issue--again, usually after resuming from sleep. I monitored the +12V rail through Gigabyte's motherboard utility, and it appeared to be stable. The above conditions would apply whether the card was in the primary or secondary PCI-e slot. I also ran a quick stress test using GPU-Z to see if PCI-e speed would drop, and both slots ran at their rated speed (primary @ x16, secondary @ x8) without dropping to lower speeds. I plan on moving the card back to the main slot and testing again to be sure, but Windows 10 sleep mode seems to have something to do with it. Has anyone experienced this issue? Is this hardware (video card, motherboard) or software (Windows, Geforce drivers) related? It's possible EVGA may have me RMA the card, but I'd rather not since I've done that once already (issue with one of the DisplayPorts), unless I have to, of course. Below are my system specs: Graphics: EVGA GTX 980 Ti ACX 2.0+ w/ 6GB VRAM CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K @ 3.5GHz Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 8 GB x 2 @ 1866 MHz PSU: EVGA SuperNova P2 1000W Storage: Samsung Evo 840 500 GB SSD x 2 in RAID 0 Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium 7.1 channel sound card Thank you for any assistance you can provide. UPDATE 7/17/2016: I moved the card back to the primary PCI-e slot, and after booting up I tried Star Wars: Battlefront, and GPU power stayed around 50% while playing. I rebooted, and then showed a normal 90% GPU power draw. So, while this usually happens after waking from sleep, it can happen upon boot up. UPDATE 7/19/2016: I took out the sound card and uninstalled the drivers and ran on the motherboard sound, just to see if this was causing a conflict of some kind (since it sometimes interfered with sleep mode). Starting up Star Wars: Battlefront, it ran perfectly until I died, then the GPU power dropped to around 60-70%, and thus my fps dropped. This was after a cold boot and not waking from sleep, so I'm not sure what the reason is. I assumed that Adaptive or Optimal mode in the Nvidia settings would not drop the GPU power so low when the usage was around 90% and higher.

Hi, Just a question for everyone here. With the current graphics cards/sound cards out today, do you think that PCI-E 4.0 will create a significant performance difference ( > 1%) than PCI-E 3.0? I really could not see it unless you are doing a SLI/CF configuration and running things that x8 speeds. I just wanted to know if anyone knows a little more about this and can confirm whether PCI-E 4.0 would give an edge. Just trying to explore the things in the future. Looks like they're roughly doubling the maximum potential transfer speeds again, but that doesn't necessarily translate to 2X faster in real applications if all the technology adapts to it. Cheers,
