8x RTX 2070 issues

[mast3r]

Hello,

I Am hoping i can get some help and support on an issue i am faced with.

Specs:
BeQuiet 900 R2 pro Case
Asus ROG Hero 7 X470 - EK MonoBlock
Ryzen 2700X - EK MonoBlock
16GB 3600 Dominator Pro
EVGA 2070 - EK WaterBlock with backplate
X2 2TB Samsung EVO SN850 NVME
HX750i PSU

Randomly installed CPUz the other day and noticed that my 2070 is running at 8x and not 16x.

I do have two NVME drives installed but that should not make a diff, should it?

I have today drained down my system and took the 2070 out, cleaned the pins and re-seated but faced with the same issue post re-build.

Anyone help?

For a second I thought you had a cripto farm going on lol.

Have you got anything else plugged into the pciex slots?

 

[Dontrocktheboat]

Unplug one of the SSD and see if the gfx card changes to x16

Is 2070 in top slot nearest cpu?

I think the second nvme reduces the gpu to 8x, the arrangement would be 8/4/4 at PCI-e 3.0.

3.6.5 of the user manual indicates that if a device is detected in m2_2 then pcie x16 will run at half speed.

Me to. Or 8 problems hahaha

It also indicates you can disable it from the bios.

Once you have checked the BIOS I would not worry too much if you can't find the answer. It is most likely just a reporting issue. I mean mine reports it is 2x and I am certain it is not!

 

[Gtiracer]

Yes it does on my motherboard anyway at least, the m.2 drives use up the PCIe lanes so reduces the gpu to x8 speeds. Don't think it really restricts it much. I will probably disable my 2nd m.2 and try it one day to test out if there is any real world difference.

2x NVME was the issue

2x NVME was the issue

It was yes

But don’t sweat it as there’s no performance hit, ok maybe like 1% but meh.
