PCIe 16x vs 32x riser

[Karter]

Hello.

I need riser cable for my gtx 960 and i do not understed diffrence between this two. Which will work with my gpu?

[Crunchy Dragon]

You want PCIe x16.

[jj9987]

No clue where you're taking the 32x from. PCI Express cards use x16 at maximum these days.

Are you sure the other one is not a PCIe to PCI 32-bit riser? Because that won't work.

 

Just get a PCIe x16 riser.

Doubleposting because why not. I did find what appears to be, technically, a PCIe x32 riser:

Just looking at that is confusing me..

How?

Why?

probably a form factor thing for a Super micro server solution. that is litterally 2 PCIe 16x slots end for end.

Its not a pcie x32, its 2 pcie x16. You can't connect a single x32 device, it just lets you connect 2 x16 devices.

That's the bit that confused me, never seen a board that has 2 PCIe slots layed out side by side like that.

Does make sense it'd be a server thing though.

I'm trying to find what motherboard of SuperMicro's takes it. But a lot of their boards appear to use proprietary PCIe slots for more x32 riser goodness.

 

Also one more for you:

On SuperMicro's website, it lists boards having a PCIe x32 riser slot so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I mean, by entering SuperMicro's domain, you're effectively throwing standards out the window.

Thank you 

I found this pcie 32x to 32x

Thats 32bit pci, not pcie, completly different standards.

Does intel even support pcie x32? I have never seen it listed as supported.

If you're asking if Intel supports a single PCIe device that takes up 32 lanes, then the answer is likely no. However I feel like if we're going to insist that these risers are only 2x PCIe x16 even though they use up 32 lanes is just being anal retentive.

 

Did you insist on calling those early 4K UHD panels 1920x2160x2 panels?

Well I mean it says PCI-E

Well its not, look at the connector, thats pci.

Is that a PCI to PCI-e adapter? I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work, PCI is MUCH slower than PCI-e

The caption on the picture is lying. It's a conventional PCI riser.

Nope it says pcie to pcie

Well, everyone here is telling you its clearly not PCI-e to PCI-e. Just because they caption a photo with a description doesn't mean that it's correct.

Thank you all for helping?
