pci-e

I decided to take the plunge on a Sapphire 7900XT (not the Pulse). https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapphire-radeon-rx-7900-xt-gaming-20gb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-3a2-sp.html I only have a PCI-E v3 motherboard, not a v4. This will still be alright wont it? It's backwards compatible and...

Reading the manual for the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E am I right in thinking that if I want to run 3 m2 drives without dropping down to x8 on the PCIe 5.0 I would need to run them in M2_1, M2_2 & M2_4? I'm a bit confused as the manual states if you use M2_3 the PCIe5_1 drops down to x8 and the _2...

Hi, I have mobo Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+(https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRi-LN4F_.cfm) and I want to connect 6 GPUs to it. When I connect 3x RTX3060 directly through 16x pcie slots everything works fine. But when I try to use 8x to 16x riser and attach to it one card...

So I have a weird problem. PC was fine with rare crashes I was using an old USB TP-link wireless adapter that doesn’t support windows 10, and would sometimes D/C from the wireless network for no reason. So I bought and installed a PCI-E “Ubit Wireless Network Card WIE4530”. It started causing...

So I just moved into new university accommodation and the WiFi is acting up. However, previously I used an ethernet cable so I thought the problem might have been my PC. So I took out and reinstalled my PCI WiFi adaptor, but I noticed it could very slightly wobble when in the slot, not hugely...

In the days of yore we had all sorts of PCI cards; from soundcards to serial ports we took pride in posting pictures of our full to the brim desktops, basking in the glory of all that extra flexibility and functionality. Modern times however, have mostly seen the demise of these once glorious...

I have a spare Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 (7265NGW) from a laptop. I'm wondering whether I can use it in my desktop (MB: MSI Z97 PC Mate) as a wireless/Bluetooth adaptor. In order to do that: Question 1. Can I use it directly on the MSI Z97 PC Mate which has a PCI slot, I guess...

HI, Just wanted to know if the max resolution a graphics card can display is dependent on the type of PCI express slot the card is plugged into? So if a PCIe v3 card capable of displaying 2560x1440 is plugged into an old motherboard which only supports PCIe v1 can it still display 2560x1440...

I've been given a PCI Express SSD to recover some data from, but my motherboard doesn't have a slot for it. Are USB adapters available which will allow one of these to be connected via a USB 3/3 socket?

Hey peeps, I'm eyeing up a Gigabyte mATX board for my next build. I only have/want a single GPU, but I also have a Soundblaster Z, which is a 1x PCI-E device. These will be the only things in the PCI-E slots, so one will be unused. 1) can I plug the Soundblaster into the lower 16x slot? (this...

Hello! I'm in the process of building a new system. I realized that the cat5 network cable i used with my old configuration is from archaic ages, it's been built into the house around 2000. For the new one I'd like to use something better than that, but getting a better cable is not really an...

So I've gone ahead and done something very stupid. Whilst pushing in the USB3 cable into the motherboard's USB3 header, I managed to push and destroy two of the pins, one of which completely snapped off, as so... So now the USB slots on the front of my case no longer work :( My question is...
