So i have an rtx 5090 running at x16 4.0 due to using a 4.0 riser however my new 4tb nvme is 3.0. since my new drive was put into the top slot (cpu pcie lanes used) i have been having issues with random crashing. is it possible that the 3.0 nvme is having issues while the cpu slot is set to 4.0?
Crashing issue due to pci-e gen

fair call. i will do this first
so i put my cpu into 3.0 and issue is fixed. Just removed my riser and put to 5.0 and issue reared its ugly head. starting to think my nvme is the issue. now going to move my nvme into the chipset m.2 slot and see if that fixes my issues. if so i will install the riser again and see if that works at 4.0 again until i can get a 5.0 riser as they are so expensive and as i have the arctic storm 5090, the vertical mount looks nice in my system so will get a 5.0 riser soon as they are very expensive
It's a shame but it happens. Riser installed and working fineSorry to hear that, but at least you've found the issue, this means you can probably use your riser again, right?
