I bought an LG 27GP850 about 2 years back, and it was fine for a while, but it started displaying odd behavior. If i was using the extended freesync mode, and had gsync enabled, every so often, the screen would go black (backlight turned off too) for a second or two, often flashing on for a split second before turning off again. It would do this several times before the image came back. I sent it back to LG to repair it twice, but nothing helped. Ive used multiple different display port cables, different ports on the back of my gpu, i also bought a whole new gpu (not for thos reason, i was upgrading anyway), but nothing has fixed it. I was convinced it was the monitor at fault, not anything else, as the only other suspects i thought about could by gpu, which was brand new, and this was a problem on both the old and new one, or the cable, which as i said, was switched out several times. I bought a new monitor, and its happening on this monitor as well. The LG doesnt have this problem on my brothers computer so im kind stuck at this point. Its a massive problem, as i will be in the middle of a gun fight or something, and every other game, i will just lose the image for a couple seconds. I asked on reddit, and someone said they had a similar problem to me, and theres was caused by an improperly seated graphics card. I checked mine, but its as far in as it will go. This however did get me thinking. I had no problem with the monitor for a long while after i got it, but one thing i did do is buy a new case, the fractal design pop air. Is it possible that the case could be preventing me from fully seating the gpu? I didnt think of this initially, as this problem doesnt occur on my tv, which gsync is also enabled on, and i mostly use my tv anyway, and its never happened once on there. -
Goodday everyone! I noticed today that the price of the Exos X16 hard drive dropped by over 50% in my country and I was wondering if the exos series can be used as a standard PC drive for a plex, a gaming library or for general storage like the WD Red drive I am currently using. Since it uses SAS will it be supported? I haven't heard the best when it comes to Seagate drives and I had a bad experience with one a few years ago which made me switch to WD but since this is supposed to be a top of the line drive with a 5 year warranty plus many safety features, would you recommend them quality-wise? How do they compare against the WD drives when it comes to reliability? Finally, could somebody explain to me the difference between the exos series and series such as the ironwolf or Red (by WD)? Thank you in advance

As qualcomm attended the 'Gigabit LTE Experience’ along with Aussie telco Telstra, Ericsson and Netgear. Qualcomm's test results of their new x16 modem are in and it looks like we are close to reaching the 1 Gb/d speed that everyone obviously needs. A group of employees from qualcomm began displaying the results of their testing with Australian telco Telstra. The results look pretty promising, with speeds reaching 930 Mb/s on the download test, dangerously close to that 1 G mark. The tests were run on a Netgear nighthawk M1 running the chip. Qualcomm states: This is not the only thing that qualcomm can brag about. The new modem also implements the 2×2 MIMO design so you can connect up to 20 devices simultaneously.

Can't get my evga gtx 1070 sc to run at x16 with my asus z170 pro gaming Any idea why, i use the grey pcie slot and have the latest bios, I was using the the second pci e slot since i have had unstability when i first got my 16 gb of ram and had a gtx 1060 6gb, support changed someting in the virtuel memory and used the pci e slot nr 2 and it worked, now with a gtx 1070 i wanted to use the grey pci e slot since i wasn't getting x16 when i was playing https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlxf3s7x1wt47qr/DSC_0037.JPG?dl=0 -
MOBO: X99-Deluxe II (link) CPU: i7 6850k (link) User Guide w/PCIe Diagram: link Preface: This is my first computer build ever, and I've never touched the inside of a computer before this, so please forgive me if I am asking dumb questions. I really just want to try to get it right the first time. Goal: I want to eek as much performance out of my hardware as possible (naturally), and to me that means using a new 960 Pro m.2 ssd for the boot drive while trying to retain as much bandwidth as possible for the two graphics cards (ideally x16/x16). Problem: Now the guide says that I can do a x16/x16 and keep a u.2 slot, but I don't want a u.2 slot -- I want a x16/x16 with an m.2 slot. PCIe x16_2 looks like an older 2.0 slot, so it is out of the question. It doesn't seem like PCIe x16_3 can be used since it shares bandwidth with the m.2 slot I need. Question: So if I have the m.2 slot filled, the u.2 slots empty, and a graphics card in PCIe x16_1, can I then put a second graphics card in either PCIe x16_4 or PCIe x16_5 and keep x16/x16? And if so, would that lead to any kind of SLI bridge issues or waterblock issues since the distance between cards is getting so big? -
So I have the ability to run 2 sli cards in x16 x16 but it will not work with my 2 970s. they run at x8. is this much of aN issue? I see videos showing a small improvement between the two but like.... is it worth my time to buy a longer bridge and try and also figure why the cards won't do sli in x16? or just forget it and do run x8

I'm thinking about putting together a crypto-currency mining rig, so I was wondering are there any motherboards that support 4-way crossfire and x16 capability on more than only one PCI-e slot?! I plan on using RX480s.

hi guys i want to buy a gpu but ive got a doubt: will a PCI Express 2.1 card work in a PCI Express 3.0 slot (PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16)? this is the gpu: xfx Radeon HD 5450 (HD545XZCH2) http://xfxforce.com/fr-fr/products/gpus-prcdents/xfx-amd-5450-1gb-graphics-card-hd-545x-zch2 this is my mobo: GA-AB350-Gaming-3 *****slots****** 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16) * For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot. * Actual support may vary by CPU. (The PCIEX16 slot conforms to PCI Express 3.0 standard.) 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4) * The PCIEX4 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX1_2 and PCIEX1_3 slots. The PCIEX4 slot operates at up to x2 mode when the PCIEX1_2/PCIEX1_3 slot is populated. The PCIEX4 slot operates at up to x4 mode when both of the PCIEX1_2 and PCIEX1_3 slots are empty. * Actual support may vary by CPU. 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x1 (PCIEX1_3) 2 x PCI Express x1 slots (The PCIEX4 and PCI Express x1 slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.) ************* https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AB350-Gaming-3-rev-10#sp please let me know, thank you very much regards

So I picked these parts on this list ( https://wishlisto.com/l-B0MWpy/white-matx-build/ ) but upon further inspection I noticed the cpu's max number of PCIe lanes is 16 and if I understand this correctly I would need 20 for the gpu and the nvme m.2 ssd. Is there something I'm getting wrong here? Does it work? Thank you.

So, I had a great plan for a project, but I'm not sure if such a product exists. I wanted to install a Radeon VII in my full ATX desktop PC, on a "vertical riser" of sorts, but the riser acts as a switch between the x16 it's plugged into and a Thunderbolt/USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 out. The main function of this is so that I could use my VII in my main PC, but could flip a switch and plug in my Macbook Pro to do music and video editing without the need to switch monitors or buy a second graphics card/enclosure. I also don't want to plug an enclosure to both PCs, so that I have maximum performance on my main, and so an enclosure won't take up unnecessary space. If anyone knows of such a product, or if there is a way to accomplish this otherwise, please let me know! Open to any ideas!

I have a QNAP WiFi AC2600 card. It has pcie x1 interface and works OK in a ocie x1 slot, but due to some other card installed, the latter blocks WiFi heatsink. There is another slot available in my motherboard where I have more space, but it is pcie x16 slot. From what I understood from Linus videos, my WiFi card should work just fine in that x16 slot, but it is not recognized. Any ideas how can I make it work?

My parts arrive next week. i5-8500 and Gtx 1080 on A Gigabyte H310M S2H. Now I also ordered one of them pcie 4x USB 3.0 cards. Also, I'm dumb when it comes to lanes. I know to things so far - my CPU supports 16 lanes and that guy can run both 8 and 16. What does this mean for my rig? If some one could take the time to explain lanes effects to me, i would appreciateb that a lot! TY

Can I use PCI x16 3.0 graphics card on PCi x16 2.0 slot ???

Hello floks, Here is a decent monday night mistery for all of you... Pc specs: Maximus X Code, i7-8700k, Gskill 32 GB 3200 QC14, kraken x62 r2, nzxt h700i, thermaltake litepower 600w ?(don’t judge yet) So I had my first Asus Strix 1080ti o11g from last year, and got a 2nd one a few days ago. i would not dare to SLI with such a low end PSU, but could not find anything powerful anywhere in stock due to miners, yet i wanted to make sure the GPU works. By pure chance i decided to test the 2nd PCIe slot this time, after removing my old card from the first port. Despite asus marketing this mobo with 2 PCIE x16 slots, the manual (even online) states clearly that both run at x8 when second is connected. This will lead to some performance loss for SLI, so one important lesson to share: always look beyond official presentations before you decide to buy anything. For me this wont be the end of the world though, as long as i get them working. And now for the big mistery: When a 1080ti is connected to the second PCIe slot, running at x8 i randomly get one of 3 anomalies: 1. As soon as i launch a game, fan speeds of GPU jump to maximum RPM, display looses signal, and powering off the beast does not work unless its done from the PSU. 2. If i run a less intense application, say blender, its stable initially, but as i try to render a more complex scene, i can barely move my mouse, although temp indicators all look fine. 3. Display causes some glitches, and flickering and the FPS is either 160, or under 10!!! Or simply the PC restarts during loading times, or even shuts down. GPUZ reported Vrel one time when i got to see it right before it restarted. After a weekend of troubleshooting, reinstalling thr planet, bios updates, reconnecting everything, (even trying out a 750W PSU), i have revealed the following: a. Both of my GPUs have this issue in the second PCIe slot, so we rule out that the new GPU might be flawed. With either 600 or 750W PSU. ? b. Both of my GPUs behave flawlessly when moved to the first PCIe x16 ? I finally found in stock a be quiet! 11 Dark Power Pro 1200W PSU, platinum ~94% efficiency but at this point i really wonder if the PSU is the real problem here... Again: temps ok, cabling ok, ramtest and drivers all ok. PCIe 1 x16 works as expected, PCIe 2 runs at x8 and totally unstable. Could it be that by using the second PCIe slot even when 1st PCIe slot is free, overall i am looking at more power usage beyond my current PSUs capacity? Or am I wasting my time and will most likely have to RMA!? any advice or insight is greately appreciated. -
I can't get my graphics cards to run at x16 it will only run at x8. I recently upgraded from 2 r9 280's to a gtx 1070 ti. It works and is running but in GPU-Z it the bus interface reads (PCIe x16 3.0 @ x8 1.1) and my understanding is that means the card supports running x16 PCIe 3.0 lanes but is running at x8, I don't know what the 1.1 means though. I have a MSI x99 gaming 7 motherboard with a i-7 5820k. The 5820k has 28PCIe lanes and the card is in slot e1 which is the only slot that can run x16 with a 5820k. I don't see anything in bios that lets me change the lanes for that slot (though I might just be missing it), I know that slot would have been running at x8 when I was using the r9 280's in crossfire, does anyone know if you have to change some setting to get it to run x16 or is that supposed to be done automatically? all the other slots on the board are empty except the m.2 (but that has a maximum of x4) and a SSD sata so I should have PCIe lanes to spare. I do have 6 usb external hard drives plugged in but those shouldn't be taking up PCIe lanes so I don't know what gives? I am still running windows 7 pro... but that shouldn't be the problem I don't think. Any help or insights would be greatly apperciated -
Hi everyone, I'm new to PC gaming and I bought a gaming PC a month ago from Dell since graphics were way too expensive. I'm wondering if it's normal that my graphics card PCIe slot is running at x8 even under a stress test. My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and my motherboard has a x370 chipset, which should, in theory, be able to handle my RX 580 at full PCIe speed. I know that sometimes the system is going to drop the PCIe speed to save some power, but in a game or under a stress test, it seems wierd. By the way, I disabled the PCIe power saving in the control panel and I'm using the AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan. Do you guys have any idea what can cause this or how to fix it? Thanks!

Is there any kind of adapter that will let me turn a single x16 slot into 2 pcie slots that are physically x16 but electronically x8 so I can run 2 cards?
-
Hi everyone, I am completely new to PCIe lanes and whatnot. I have a Pentium with 16 PCIe lanes, on an Asus Prime Z270-A. I also have TWO GPUs on the board. Would it automatically switch to x8 because I have had some issues with getting both graphics cards sensed at once. Also, if it doesn't automatically switch, can I manually switch it in the bios?Thank you!

After hours of videos, guides, and forums, I am still confused about how pcie lanes from CPU's and mobos work so I was hoping someone can shed some more light for me. I currently have an i7 4790k which claims to have a max number of 16 lanes via up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4. I am planning on getting ASRock z97 Extreme9 which has 4 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 2.0 x16, 1 mini-PCIe. So if I understood everything correctly, which I honestly don't think I did, my 1080 ti will use 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, leaving either 1 more PCIe 3.0 x16 or 2 PCIe 3.0 x8. The ti will also use up the x16 lanes from my cpu. I plan on using two NVMe m.2, the extreme9 only allows one nvme in pcie 3.0 x4 (also referred to as ultra m.2) and the other in pcie 2.0. To get around the 2.0 bottleneck I plan on using a PCIe 3.0 x4 Nvme - m.2 adapter instead, which uses up my last pcie 3.0 x4. (well technically they are both x8 but I don't think that is relevant). I also read somewhere that cpu lanes don't matter when it comes to storage. And then I plan on using some of the sata3 connections for more storage which should be fine since ssd's and hard drives don't require pcie lanes. Am I on the right track in understanding pcie lanes, and if not can someone help explain where I went wrong?

I was looking at the new Asus X99 Deluxe II and saw it has only 4 Gen 3 x16 PCIE slots, but it has a total of 5 x16 PCIE slots. Turns out the second x16 slot is Gen 2. I wanted to use this mobo for SLI. I am going to use a intel 5820k. I want to run GPUs at x8 lanes in the x16 slot. I will be using the Gen 2 slot and the Gen 3 slot. Will this cause any problems with SLI?
-
So I recently discovered that a year long struggle to get consistent performance in games has been due to my GPU not connecting at the full x16 that my x16 slot is wired for and runs often at just x1. Has anyone experienced this before or have any idea how to force it to connect at x16? Could this even be a GPU problem?

I am going to do a wall mounted build during the summer, and I need a 16x pcie riser longer than 25cm. I have a limited budget, so I cant afford a fancy shielded one, but I will be using aluminium foil as insulation. Any suggestions on where to buy one? (I live in the UK) Thank you
-
Hi guys. So I am planning this new build to wall mount a PC with the latest components by end of this year and I like to have all the obvious "Murphey's Law" problems solved in the beginning. Short intro: september or october will be the time I want to have a new powerhouse PC for VR and heavy workloads and I want to have it hanging from my wall. Since there is no reason for me not to show off the sexy graphics cards (water cooled) I am looking for 2 PCIe risers x16 to x16. They will be hooked up to what I think will be the GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti. But I've heard of many problems with riser cables. Worst of them all is the EM-interference when not shielded. Now I am totally confused and would like to hear your thoughts about it: What do you think about passive vs active riser cables? I've read the last comment in this topic: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/which-feature-in-a-x16-pcie-riser-cable-is-more-important.216469/ and I don't understand what he means. Is he saying active risers reduce the voltage peak when load is dropping rapidly because they have capacitors? And then he says that the inductance decreases as the cross-sectional are increases which to me means that I have to get a thick cable. And then he says 'So while the votes overwhelmingly agree to get the powered cable, you can now...' which sounds like he's not a fan of powered/active cables with capacitors?! I would really appreciate if you could tell me your experiences with riser cables. To add: The risers will most certainly be 20cm and 30cm long or 30cm and 40cm depending on my board layout. Keep it up Steve

Hi guys, hope you can help! I am about to upgrade my graphics card (currently a HD7990), to a single 390x (with view to another soon after). My current mobo is an ASRock 970 Extreme 3. would this crossfire setup be viable on this board? from research i think it only supports x16/x4 in crossfire. and is pci-e 2.0. Would i lose performance from pci-e 3.0 to 2.0? What is the performance difference between dual x16 and x16/x4? Thanks very much for any help you can give!
