Posted December 10, 2015 doesn't change anything anyway, you are using another pci-e slot so it divides the lanes.

Posted December 10, 2015 That would explain it. Although i dont see why my wifi card would need an 8x Lane whatever your cpu has 16 lanes, it has to divide into 8/8 because 12 lane pci-e standard doesn't exist. nvm, you have 5820k, just put your wifi card in a different slot.

I'd put it in another slot but it has to use one of the big slots because its a more expensive wifi card so its not a 2x? its more of like a 4x card? idk.

Posted December 10, 2015 That would explain it. Although i dont see why my wifi card would need an 8x Lane whatever Your Wi-Fi card doesn't need 8x. But that's the next step down from 16x so your graphics card is running at 8x, Wi-Fi at 4x, with 4 lanes unused. Pcie 3.0 8x won't bottleneck a gpu so it isn't a big deal.If it troubles you, put the wifi card in your 4x slot, not the 16/8x slot it is in.
