setup Need help with PCIe setup on future build
Butterdog420 posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
Hello! I am looking to buy an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, along with an AORUS Elite B550m Motherboard. While both of these parts support PCIe gen 4.0, my graphics card (ASUS Dual GTX 1660 Super) only supports up to PCIe gen 3.0. I need guidance on how to avoid compatibility issues or if other components would suit my current graphics card better. I imagine I can change the BIOS settings to run at PCIe gen 3.0, however I have never done that myself so I don’t feel comfortable going into it blind. I live in Hungary and my budget is around 500USD. Thank you for your replies in advance! Regards, Butterdog420 -
Have any of you seen an m.2 to pcie adapter that can accommodate a double sided heatsink? The m.2 ports on my motherboard are 8mm from the pcb to the top of the m.2 connector. They have plenty of clearance between the motherboard and ssd, which allows me to use a double sided heatsink. I believe they are either 6.7H or 8.5H as seen in this photo: I also own several m.2 to pcie adapters, but all of them use a much shorter m.2 connector. Most of them are 2.5mm tall. I have one that is 4mm tall, but is is for sata, not nvme. Background info: I recently purchased a Sabrent ssd (SB-RKT4P-2TB) and installed it into port M2_3 of my MSI EK Carbon X570S motherboard using the stock (single sided) heatsink. The drive would crash frequently (chkdsk would report it as RAW) but upon reboot, it usually reappeared just fine. (GPT partitions did not report any errors, Sabrent Rocket app tests would all pass). I purchased the Sabrent double sided heatsink (SB-HTSS) and the drive has been rock solid ever since. I really like that heatsink. I track the temperatures in Aquasuite, and that heatsink does a fantastic job keeping the temperatures stable and cool (43C). I would like to move this 2TB ssd to the PCI_E4 port of my motherboard so I can take full advantage of the 4.0 speeds. The chipset is 3.0 speeds, and the M2_1 port is already occupied with another 4.0 speed SSD. I bought the Sabrent m.2-PCIe adapter, but I was highly disappointed in it. What I would love to find is an adapter that can accommodate the Sabrent double sided heatsink, have you any of you run across an adapter that used one of these taller m.2 connectors?

PCIe 4 MoBo with 10th gen cpu but PCIe 4 GPU
W7aith posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hi, I am interested in buying this motherboard: Gigabyte B560 AORUS PRO AX I read the specs on this page: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B560-AORUS-PRO-AX-rev-10/sp#sp It says the pciex16 slot conforms to the pcie4.0 standard. It also states it supports both 11th and 10th gen Intel cpus. My question is: if I buy this MoBo and stick a 10th gen cpu in it, but I also want to install a pcie4.0 gpu (rtx 3070 ti) in it, will they work together? When I looked at another motherboard they clearly stated that if you install a 10th gen cpu the pciex16 slot will behave like pcie 3.0, instead of 4.0. But with this motherboard they didn't state this. My fear is that if I stick a 10th gen cpu in this motherboard the pciex16 which is pcie4 wont work at all. Is this even possible? or is it just obvious that if the MoBo supports 10th gen cpu, all pcie4 will behave like pcie3? Thanks -
Hi All Good day, I am looking at a new NVMe SSD recently and notice recent SSD is getting faster and hotter, some even come with huge heatsink attached for better cooling. For starts, below are my specs. AMD Ryzen 1600 2x 8GB Corsair 3200MHz Asrock AB350 ITX GTX1070 Adata SX8200 Pro 2TB My next SSD plan is Adata Gammix S70 2TB So, my questions is: 1. Does the new NVMe SSD needs good cooling? Since I am using this Adata SX8200, it never goes beyond 70C. 2. Is the M.2 NVMe Extension cable any good? Performance drop or any other issue? 3. Does PCIE3.0 extension cable able to support PCIE4.0 in the future if I am to upgrade my system to PCIE4.0 capable? Thank you all for your kind replies.

Quick background I am making a desk PC and I am almost done just need to get the GPU (how much fun that's gonna be) and the gen 4 cable, but I am in a bit of a kerfuffle as I can't decide as to which one I should go with. I am thinking of either the Thermaltake 4.0 Riser or the 4.0 riser from Louqe, any actual performance difference between the two?

Hey everyone PLEASE HELP! so I just got a new ryzen 5000 series cpu a new 1tb 4.0 nvme and new ram. I have an old nvme that I had as my boot drive but wanted to not take advantage of pcie 4.0 not that I have a cpu and nvme that supports it. So I installed new drive into 4.0 supported slot in my mother board and stick my thumb drive with windows in and select boot from thumb. While going threw the process and choosing what drive to put it on my new one is listed but not “installable” so clicked the (NEW) button next to the format button and it does its thing and I install windows on new drive. When it restarts it shows 2 different windows on startup I choose the new drive get into windows and think everything just peachy. I format old drive and start installing new drivers and whatnot and on restart I go into bios and notice my new drive isn’t in the boot priority list. But does show up as a drive in my pc. And so I uninstall old drive from mobo to see if it will just boot to new one and doesn’t. But when I put old drive back in it’ll boot right up but still show 2 windows partitions to choose from. How do I fix it to where my new drive is main boot and old one is just an extra storage? Please help me out I’ve tried searching far and wide but can’t seem to find much.

I'm, currently saving up for a new PC, but I'm still saving as I don't currently have enough (and nothing is in stock either). However, I'm running dangerously low on storage, and am thinking of just purchasing the SSD I was planning to use as my boot drive in my new PC now, and save it for when I eventually build my new PC. I just wanted to make sure that the SSD I'm currently looking at buying is compatible with my current system. The SSD I'm looking at is this: https://shop.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-black-sn850-nvme-ssd#WDS100T1X0E-00AFY0, the reason I ask is because it is PCIe 4, and I'm on a pretty old system (6th gen i7 and Z170 motherboard). I obviously understand that I will not be getting anywhere near the speeds advertised, as I'll be running it on an old system. My question is will it work, and will I still get high speeds as would be expected from an NVME SSD, or will it not work with my current system? My current motherboard is the Z170 S from ASUS: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH-Z170-S/, and my CPU is the i7-6700K

Hello all! I was hoping to get some opinions on a potential upgrade opportunity. I typically try to upgrade my cpus every 5 years. I was supposed to upgrade around 13th gen but I broke my motherboard last year and ended up with a 10700k. I may have the opportunity to get an 11900k for a significant discount from a friend who is looking to move to the 12th gen or to the new zen 4 or 13th gen later this year (he really likes the newest shiny). While my motherboard is compatible, I know that overall 11th gen was not well received, I'll say diplomatically...but would you consider it worth picking up for the pcie gen 4 compatibility to potentially extend the future proofing if the price is really good, or would you instead wait and potentially upgrade earlier to a whole new platform considering that I'd have to add in DDR5 now too. To be clear, my 10700k is working fine and I don't need to upgrade, I just wanted to get some ideas on what others thought looking a bit longer term and since the price might be pretty good. My most common use cases are gaming and machine learning. Thanks for any insight!

Got a TiPlus 7100 1TB (without cache) for my Steam games. How different is it with drives like SN850? Any advice?

Hello, I am looking to “upgrade” my desktop and for now by following recommendations from your channel I am thinking of buying: Ryzen 5 3600 GTX 1660 super G.Skill RipjawsV 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz I am really confused on the motherboard though. At first I was aiming for the B450 Tomahawk, but I found the X570 Gaming X which is 50€ more but it has pcie 4.0. As I am going to keep this build for at least 5 years and upgrade the gpu or RAM if I have to, does this make the X570 the better choice? I am thinking that if I upgrade my gpu it probably play better with pcie 4.0 which makes the X570 “future proof”. Excuse me for my English :)

Budget (including currency): $1200 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: most likely used for rendering and working on CAD (computer assisted design) models.I usually have two monitors plugged in (32"+24") and thinking about getting a third. This will also most likely be hooked up to a 4k TV via HDMI. would like to build a modest true mid tier rig that would handle most of these tasks. 3-D modeling > Gaming+Streaming YES: Autocad, Revit, Rhino, Vectorworks, V-Ray, Keyshot, Lumion, Adobe Suites (ID,Illus,Photo mostly) NO: video encoding, heavy gaming (like AAA games are fun but meh not really a huge gamer, like I'll check out a game but that's about it) MAYBE: very VERY light gaming (mostly free games like LFD2, LOL), Streaming, Virtual Reality Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Current running: (8 years old) CPU: i7-3770k GPU: Gigabyte Radeon 7870 HD (2GB) RAM: 8GB 1333 (2x4GB) STOR: 512gb crucial (SSD) + 7200RPM WD 2TB Black Option 1: (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MdjYFG) CPU: R5 3600 GPU: RTX 2060 S (8gb) RAM: 32GB 3200 cl14 (4x8gb) STOR: 512gb ADATA XPG (NVME) + 7200RPM WD 2TB Black would like to experience this pcie 4.0 stuff and would like to have a small upgrade pathway if possible. I know there is no such thing as future proofing but if there is a good option in this budget I'm all for ideas. Much thanks!

Hello! My motherboard is Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master, and my CPU is Intel Core i7-9700K. My PCIe lanes are gen 3.0 x16. Question: Would my system bottleneck my GPU if I’d buy this GPU: Gigabyte Aorus AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (GV-R57XTAORUS-8GD), which has PCIe 4.0 x16 connection?

will i get pcie 4.0 on the Asus Rog Strix B450-F Gaming mobo, if i install zen 3 processor.

What does Asus mean when they give "limited PCI-E 4.0" support on some of their x470 motherboards. Is it like on some boards or to some extent??????
-
I think I actually might have herd of this on the WAN show, basically asus released a list of x470 and b450 motherboards that support PCIe4 and my motherbaord happens to be on that list. I was already considering upgrading my shitty SATA 256gb SSD to a NVME one, but now that the support for the PCIe4.0 SSDs are out im not sure if it would be worth the extra money for the speed, The only intensive task my computer is ever used for is gaming, would I feel the benefit with a PCIe 4.0 SSD vs a 3.0? 5000mbs vs 3500mbs seems sizeable but I dont know if its out of the bounds of practicality for use cases like gaming. Also... if it is worth it I've got one tiny issue, they need heatsinks, my only m.2 slot is under my gpu slot, it would be fine for mounting an SSD that didnt need a heatsink, but because the newer drives do it wont fit i dont think. Ive got a couple of solutions to this problem. 1, Get a bigger case? so ive got a second pcie slot on my motherboard lower down but its very close to the bottom of my board so im a bit worried about gpu heatsink clearance with all the i/o connections down there. 2. Don't use the m.2 slot, im pretty sure m.2 is just pcie lanes so im pretty sure you can just mount the drive directly into the pcie slot? Confirmation on this would also be nice. Currently i have a pcie wifi card mounted there but considering its only uses 4 of the 16 available im pretty sure i can run the slot in 4x4 instead of 1x16. Now with option 2 Ill need some jank thing to hold the SSD in place... any ideas on that one lol? Motherboard in question is ASUS TUF b450m-plus gaming.

I just built a new system whether MSIX570 motherboard and MSI 5700 Xt graphics card ryzen 7 2700x. On my Adrenalin, the graphics card is showing up as PCIE 3.0, and the bus is showing as a 4.0 when I go into bios I change it to Gen. 4, but it is not taking. I even did a bios update to the latest bios and still showing up as 3.0 can somebody help on this?

I'm in the middle of building my first ever dedicated gaming rig, and I bought a Seagate firecuda nvme drive that runs on PCIe gen 4. As I understand it, gen 4 drives tend to get pretty toasty when under heavy load. Whether or not I would ever end up putting under such sustained load, I really don't know, but I would like to be prepared for it. My motherboard didn't come with a drive shield, so I would need to figure something else out in regards to cooling it. So I was wondering what sort of solutions, if any, that other people have come up with? I was thinking about possibly just buying some small copper heatsinks and sticking them on with thermal pads or something like that. Has anyone tried that? I would also like to know if anyone has tried ripping the label off the drive so the heatsinks get direct contact with the drive. And of course typical "fan vs no fan" and "thermal pads vs thermal paste" stuff. PS: I was sure whether to put this in this section or the drive section. Sorry if it doesn't go here. Mods, feel free to move it if you feel so inclined.

So my question is, If I want to go AMD, do I just need a new motherboard, CPU and water block for the CPU? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes but this was my first time building a computer so just double checking. The reason I want to switch is if the new graphics cards are PCIE 4.0 I want to get all the performance I pay for. I am shooting for the 3080 ti or whatever the top end card will be called. Even if its only a minor gain in performance over pcie 3.0

I am looking into building a new computer in a GameMax Mini Abyss mATX case. And I am trying to future proof and get the Aorus m.2 PCIE 4.0 card for my games. But If I go Ryzen, I would use a Ryzen 9 3950x, and no motherboard has enough IO on mATX. And it also only comes with 24 PCIE lanes. But with Threadripper I can get the x399m by ASRock, but it doesn't support PCIE 4.0. But I will have the 72 PCIE Lanes for any extra expand ability I would need.
