GPU running at 8x

[artificialRAGE]

Hi. Not sure if I should put this here or the GPU section.

 

So here's the deal. Recently i built a cheap Skylake system just to get my first feels of DDR4 and Skylake. The issue I have is that when i installed my GPU on the only available PCI-E 16x slot, in CPU-Z it says link width and max supported  8x. Looked into the BIOS and could find anything to tweak. 

 

Specs are as follows:

Intel Pentium G4400

Asus H110M-K with latest BIOS

Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133

PowerColor R7 250 

 

I think its the chipset as I am aware that the H110 chipset is fairly limited especially with the PCI-E configurations. Could anyone shed some light for me.

 

Thanks

still doesn't make a difference in performance

It's a PCI-e x8 GPU, ignore the slot size

^This.

 

Btw, I'd take that 250 out and sell it for cash. The iGPU on Skylake has good enough performance for the sort of task you'd expect out of a 250.
