Hello MOBO : MSI meg unify x570 CPU : Ryzen 5600x Slots M2_1 ; M2_2 and M2_3 occupied by 3 nvme Bottom Slot pcie 4x occupied by GPU (ge force 1030) Top pcie x16 slot FREE Can I Install on that top pcie x16 slot an MSI hyper M2 expansion card and put 4 nvme in it ? I don't know how to count pcie lanes... 3 nvme ssd = 12 1 gpu = 4 4 nvme in the expansion card : 16 ????? 12 + 4 + 16 = 32 Thanks

I recently had problems keeping my computer on for extended periods of time. it would restart after less than 10 minutes of uptime. It would not crash in safe mode or when I was booted to a linux bootable thumb drive. I cloned the C: drive (an m.2 NVME drive from my old laptop) to a hard drive I wasn't using (I had gotten it for recording streams but it wasn't touched yet) and when I booted to that, the problem would persist. I went to a local IT guy and he said it was the GPU overheating. I knew it wasn't because: A) it would crash regardless of the work being done B) Because everything was working fine for 6 months until now C) it boots to an SSD I had with windows on it, and would run FurMark, no problem Anyway, the IT guy convinced me it was the GPU so I took everything out of the case and it still crashed. I reset windows on the main drive (which is an m.2 drive from my old laptop) and this fixed the problem. So I put everything back together inside the case. when I turned it on, magic blue smoke came out my PC so I unplugged it. I took everything apart and found the m.2 drive had scorch marks on it. I slowly put everything back together, testing everything as I went. I tested the PSU, the MoBo (with processor still in, as I don't feel like getting thermal goop all over myself), the RAM, the GPU and finally, I booted to a bootable linux USB drive. I obviously didn't test the m.2 drive. I can't see any scorch marks on the mobo but maybe I unplugged it before they could appear... I have a cheap m.2 drive coming in the mail to test if it's the motherboard or the drive itself. My question is: is it a good idea to test the motherboard (MSI bazooka wifi max B350) this way? Could paths for working the NVME slot on the mobo or CPU be fried, and trying to use them exacerbate the problem? maybe it might fry PCIe lanes, maybe it might fry storage paths on the processor?

I am from Kolkata I had purchased 2 RTX 3060 on 11th May 2021 Both Inno3D Twin x2 oc model. My processor Ryzen 7 2700x Motherboard MSI x470 Gaming Plus ( not plus max ) PSU Corsair VS650 RAM Corsair 8gb 2400 x2 ................................. Minned 5 days on Nicehash Quickminer with both cards on 49mh/s each with dummy plug on x8/x8 speed. From 5th day May 16th evening, my mobo started to run 2nd card on x4 speed. Sometimes it downspeed 1st slot card sometimes 2nd slot cards. Please help me to run both x8 again. What could be the problem. Even tried replacing PSU thinking power problem but still same. I have attached x8/x8 mining screenshot of 16th may

Hi guys, I'm currently running a ryzen 7 2700x with a gtx 1060 and an nvme ssd on a asrock B450 Pro. I want to upgrade my system with a 10gb/s networkcard (https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wired-networking/all-series/xg-c100c/), but i appear to have run out of PCIE lanes (the 2700x has 16+4 PCIE lanes). Is there a easy way for me to use my gpu and networkcard at the same time and do i have to look for something specific when i install the cards? thanks in advance -
i am planning on getting Asus Dark Hero, Ryzen 5950x has 20 PCIe lanes then i was wondering if it will be able to run GPU (2080ti) in x16 mode while gaming? if i have used all M.2 slots (one M.2 is purely windows and other one is purely linux mint, ext4 format) 1 PCIe x4 slot (chipset connected slot) used for 10 gig networking card 1 PCIe x1 slot used for sound card okay if u don't know about above then can you point me to the place from where i can start to understand how CPUs use PCIe lanes? it will be a big help!

Hello ! I have a question about a computer configuration that i made. I want to apologize if my questions seems stupid but I need theese info and i am not an "expert" in that kind of stuff So my configuration is: MOBO: Gigabyte Aorus Pro WIFi CPU: Intel 9900K RAM: 128 Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 64GB DDR4 3200MHz GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 2070 Super WINDFORCE OC 3X 8GB GDDR6 SSD Seagate FireCuda 510 1TB PCI Express 3.0 x4 M.2 2280 SSD Seagate FireCuda 510 500GB PCI Express 3.0 x4 M.2 2280 SSD Seagate FireCuda 120 2TB SATA-III 2.5 inch Hard Disk WD Black 6TB SATA-III 7200RPM 256MB The other components are BeQuiet 801 case, NXZT 850W Power supply Bw Quiet Cooler and fan etc My first question is if I can populate another PCIE slot with a PCIE4X 10Gb network card as I own a Synology 1517+ NAS 10Gb Network capable. I understand that my CPU does have only 16 PCIE Lanes and i know that the MOBO has also 24 lanes but i do not know if i add 16 and 24 or i have 24 or i have 16. The GPU takes 16 nut i also have M.2 SSD's Memory etc. Forgive my lack of knowledge but i want to know if i can do that. I forwarded a question to Giganyte support and they answered me that the PCIE lanes will split among devices. Also want to know if i can use the M.2 SSD's in a pcie conguration or sata without affecting the performance og the gpu The purpose of this machine is video editing and photo editing so it is a workstation ( a budget one) i i don not want to affect the full perfromance of the gpu Than you so much !

The motherboard has 4 M.2 slots. 2 are Gen4x4 from the chipset, 1 is Gen3x4 from the chipset, 1 is Geb4x4 from the cpu. It says it supports raid 5, Would this be saying it can run the 3 chipset m.2s at 3x4, or that it can use both the cpu and chipset slots at 4x4 Also, would this be bootable? (I'm new to raid since I haven't had a reason for parity before) https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-Z690-A-WIFI-DDR4/Specification

Hey all! Looking to try and get a 7900xtx, asus hyper m.2 expansion card, and possibly sound card (considering external dac for music/audio interface instead if necessary). The am5 platform has 28 pcie lanes with the gpu using 16. So NVME ssds use up 4 lanes each maxed out? Is it possible to use the expansion card without limiting all 4 drives? Some mobos say that using a pcie slot will disable an m.2 slot, and using a certain m.2 slot may disable a sata port. I've been looking at the asus proart x670e creator mobo and it says 2 x PCIe 5.0 x16 slots (support x16 or x8/x8 modes) 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (supports x2 mode)** ** PCIEX16_3 shares bandwidth with M.2_3 slot. Please adjust in BIOS setting to enable PCIEX16_3. What does this mean? So I can put the gpu in one of the 5.0 16x slots? If the 4.0 slot supports x2, then does that mean I cannot split it into 4x4x4x4 for the ssd expansion card?

Hello everyone! I am a big noob regarding modern storage and I want to keep it short and simple so I am asking directly: -ROG Crosshair VIII Hero https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-Crosshair-VIII-Hero/specifications/ -R9 3900x Cpu -planing to buy 3080ti (or the rumored 3090 if under 1500$) which will 100% sure be a 16x pcie 4.0 Gpu (even if it turns out to still be pcie3.0, it's better to plan for the ''worst case'' for my pcie lanes). Because I found contradicting information on this topic, it is unclear to me if: 1) will installing a nvme 4x pcie 3.0 m.2 SSD make the expensive GPU (or CPU??) any slower (even 1-2%)? There would be only 1 nvme ssd.. all the rest storage are SATA. using a 4x pcie 3.0 ssd, will I lose 4x 4.0 lanes anyway? (so it would make more sense\better use of the lanes to buy the new pcie 4.0 ssd?). is it better for the m.2 pcie nvme ssd to run on the cpu pcie lanes or on the chipset (motherboard) pcie lanes? (I understand that my motherboard has some extra pcie lanes from chipset). Can I even decide\change on which lanes the ssd will run? I have my eyes on the Samsung 970 and wanted to get the PRO but then I saw that the cheaper Evo is faster (IOPS and write speed). How can this be? In this case, the shorter lifespan of the evo is worth it. I will probably go for 1tb evo plus than the planned 512gb PRO https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-970-evo-plus-nvme-m-2-1-tb-mz-v7s1t0b-am/#specs https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/ssd-970-pro-nvme-m2-512gb-mz-v7p512bw/#specs P.S: will I need a heatsink on this pcie ssd if I only use it for gaming( 90% of the time only read operation)? Thank you all in advance!

I have a weird issue going on. I upgraded from a Gtx 960 to a Gtx 980 ti. The Gtx 960 showed using 16 pcie lanes. When I installed the Gtx 980 ti and the drivers it shows only using 1 pcie Lane. Nothing else is plugged in the lanes. Anybody have this problem before. Doesn't seem like a card issue to me but maybe a driver issue.

Hello world! I recently built my new PC and discovered I have an NVMe M.2 slot on the motherboard that utilizes PCIe x4 and would like to use it, but I looked up my 4790k's PCI lanes and found it only has 16. I'm curious as to if I install the NVMe drive how the performance will impact the utilization of the graphics card. Internal components plugged in are a GTX 1080, an SSD, a HDD, an optical drive (because reasons). -
I have an asus z170 premium that uses an lga 1151 slot. All the overclockable cpus i find only support 16 pcie lanes. iv got a evga geforce gtx 1080 hybrid in one of the x16 slots essentially taking all the lanes. My main thing is that i want more lanes so i can put in a x4 pcie device with my gpu without taking bandwidth from my gpu and without changing motherboards.

I have a 6700k with a Gigabyte Z170x Ultra Gaming and two MSI GTX 1070's, I was thinking of getting a PCIe Gen 3 x4 M.2 ssd for my operating system but it specifies that you need at least 4 to run at peak performance. Could anyone tell me if I'd have enough left to use it or if its not worth getting it. Thanks!

Hi, I've been looking at building a new PC for gaming and 3D Design/Rendering purposes. My build currently involves a GTX 1080 and a M.2 or U.2 NVMe boot drive (or two in RAID 0). The i7-7700k seems like the best processor choice right now for gaming however it only supports 16 PCIe lanes. In order to future proof my rig, I want to be able to eventually move to a GTX 1080 SLI setup when prices drop over the next year or two. However, two GTX 1080s in SLI REQUIRE at least 16 PCIe lanes (2x8) to work which means that I cannot also have M.2/U.2 NVMe (x4, or in RAID 0 2x4). This means that if I want to consider any possible setup involving SLI and NVMe memory, I would have to move to one of the older i7-5820k or i7 6800k processors on the LGA 2011v3 socket. Is this the best recommended path forwards or will Intel be releasing new higher end chips over the next 6-8 months that have higher PCIe capacities to accommodate the growth of NVMe memory in the high end market? Thanks for all the help! (first post, go easy on me) -
So here's the deal, I've got an i5 6600k and a normal Z170 MOBO with a GTX1070 in my rig right now. Nothing special, but I want to add a PCIe wifi card to the system. The only issue is that according to a document from intel I read, my cpu only has support for up to 16 PCIe lanes, and last I checked the 1070 needs all 16 for max performance. So what I'm wondering is, will adding a 1x card to my mobo cause detrimental effects to my GPU due to a cpu bottleneck? inb4 "game on ethernet" because I'm in an old ass house that doesn't have ethernet wiring so getting a cable to my office would require drilling holes in the floor or something else janky like that. Any wisdom would be appreciated!

so... the mobo in my server is being a piece of junk again, and i've decided it's been enough mess and i'm gonna get something that's not a piece of crap. i've put my sights on the asus B85M-E but something on the spec sheet caught my eye. first, as a disclaimer, dont recommend me other motherboards off of your random website of choice, local availability is very limited and i need this thing fast, so i'm sticking to the retailer i know will get my mobo here FAST. with that off my chest, the thing that slightly confuses me is the spec sheet mentions these are the PCI slots: - PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 - PCIe 2.0 x1 - ye goode ole legacy PCI - PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 electrical) which made me think: wait.. 1150 processors only come with 16 lanes right? where does that bottom slot get its lanes from? i'll be putting in two add-in cards, one being my trusty GT640 (it's only in there for the display outputs) and a "raid" card for my two storage drives. now, because my case is as much of a piece of trash as the mobo that's in there right now, the pcie slots are those "wiggle and break out" things so you cant close off again, so i'd like to have the "raid" card in the the bottom most slot, with the topmost slot holding my GPU. so.. i realise that a GT640 doesnt need half a lane of bandwidth to do what it is capable of, and the "raid" card is currently in a slot of god knows what speed, and it's performing amazingly. it's just a case of curiousity, and in case i may ever put a slightly less "potato" GPU or decide to use that top slot or bottom slot for a very high troughput card. -
I'm upgrading to X99 soon (probably brack friday) and I'm wondering if there are any strong arguments for choosing the 6800k over the 5820k? I'm not to fuzzed about the price difference honestly, I do know the 5820k OC better so that's the only real reason I'm asking the question, because I like OCing and the 6800k was poop in the tests I've seen. My PC is mainly going to be used for game development (programming and occasional 3D modelling). Working in-engine is about the same as playing a game in itself, except a bit heavier on the CPU. But still, my main reason for upgrading is lack of pcie lanes on my 4670k. Is there some tech that I might want from the 6800k which is absent in the 5820k? Or is one simply slightly slower than the other?

Hello, Just I am on the verge of building myself a new PC and I am on a specific budget (around 1400USD) the build i am thinking about: i7 7700k some GTX1080 16GB RAM (I know a bit low compere to other parts of the sped build but i might upgrade it later) samsung 960EVO nvme MOBO - any that would support it all the question is sine the 7700k only have 16 PCIe lanes, would it decrease the performance noticeably since the NVME drive need 4 PCIe lanes too? I mean i know the graphics card isn't saturating the x16 PCIe slot but muxing sure to introduce some lag.

Hey there I might buy this m.2 nvme ssd https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/samsung-960-evo-250gb-m2-2280-ssd-5928285?tagIds=76 But my question is, will it use PCIE Lanes from my CPU or from the Motherboard? Motherboard: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/msi-z270-gaming-pro-carbon-lga-1151-intel-z270-atx-mainboard-6083416 CPU: I7700k Thanls for helping me out!

Quick question about how flexible the use of PCIe lanes is, and how they are delegated. So I have 16 total available in my system. Currently running my GPU, a wifi card, and a SATA controller card (most of my boards SATA ports are dead, weee). The GPU I assume is running at 8x since there aren't 16 available for it, the wifi card is 4x and the SATA controller card is 1x. So I'm using 13 lanes total. Does this mean I could potentially install another 2x as well as a 1x card? What about 3 1x cards? And how does it deal with limitations? Like if I used up more than 16 lanes physically, is there some sort of hierarchy dictating which things get lanes the which don't?
-
Hey. I was wondering if a system can be bottlenecked by having too few pcie lanes available from CPU. Say you want to have two high end graphics cards running in SLI and Multiple M2 slots etc. Take Intel's i7 8700K for example, who has 16 Lanes and i want to have 2 cards in SLI making them run at x8 and then add multiple M2's. Does that bottleneck the whole system? I'm sorry for bad English.It is not my native language. Feel free to change the location of my topic if it is in the wrong thread.

can my i3 6320 support two gtx 970 in sli and one network card ?

So I’ve been thinking about trying to do one of the smallest multi GPU rigs ever and I have an idea but I’m not sure if it’s posible... can I turn one full pcie 16x slot into two pcie 8x slots? so my plan is to take something similar to the dans case (i will probably make it with protocase or something) witch is an itx case and turn that 16x slot into two 8x slots side by side in the same place ware a duel slot video card would be, i intend to accomplish this by liquid cooling two 1080 ti’s and making them both single slot. But i dont know if i can turn that 16x slot into two 8x slots, that’s the current problem. does anyone know if this is posible?

So I'm planning a new build over the coming months (once graphics cards finally become available) and I'm looking to build a Ryzen system to replace my aging FX-8350 build. I'm planning to have 2 SSDs in my system for separate boot drives, as I dual boot Linux (Solus OS for almost everything) and Windows 10 (for Killing Floor 2, Lightroom and nothing else), as I prefer to keep my OS boot drives separated. I'm also planning to have a full AMD system and either get an AMD RX 580 if prices come down and stock availability increases, or get a Vega GPU later in the year. At some point I will probably end up getting a 2nd RX or Vega GPU for crossfire. My question is, is Ryzen going to offer enough PCIe lanes to do what I really want to do, and should I be going for a motherboard with 2x M.2 slots, or using 2x traditional SATA SSDs? Thanks for your help. -
Hey, I have few questions. 1) I was looking in Ryzen CPU a while back and i don't know exactly how many PCIe lanes it has ... Maybe 24 PCIe lanes (16 Gen3 lanes from the cpu and 8 Gen2 lanes from the chipset of x370 mobo ? 2) How many PCIe lanes does M.2 NVMe SSD takes in M.2 slot and which Gen ? /////////// Because i was kinda wondering since im trying to build computer, like graphics will requier x16 lanes and from and that's ok... but from then on idk for M.2 NVMe SSD, if it will requier 2 pcie lanes (Gen2) or 4 pcie lanes as gen3 ....
