pci express

Hello, I still after years don't really understand pcie lanes and slots. I'm curious about how cards work when they need to share and there is a limit to how many lanes are available. While I know this will work, I'm curious about latency, lane switching, PCIe 3.0 in 5.0 slots - does it use...

I have a HP 8200 PC, to which I want to connect the GDC adapter & run a few games every now and then. The GDC I have has a PCI-E connector. And here is the screenshot of the motherboard of the HP 8200 mini PC. I cannot locate any PCI-E slots, however, I have the big PCI-16x slot empty, can I...

Good evening everyone, I hope I am posting on the right forum. If not please redirect me and I will be happy to correct my mistake. I would like to understand more about PCIe lanes. And I would like to use my current (old) build as an example to see if my 48h of googl'ing has made me any wiser...

As per internal configuration of my laptop "HP ENVY X360 M6 aq105dx", I would like to know whether my lapotp Support PCIe SSDs (Like Samsung 960 EVO, 970 EVO). Below are the screeenshots attached. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2QihPbcpeYRR3F4UmIyRUJMRXhwWlJ4U2U1X0JCTTd3ZF93...

I have a SuperMicro X10DRX MOBO and I'm trying to utilize 6 Amfeltec Squid PCIe carrier boards that have 4 Samsung 960 PRO M.2 NVMe cards each. So far, I haven't been able to boot the machine with more than 16 NVMe cards. It doesn't matter if I use 4,5, or 6 carrier boards as long as I don't use...

I'd like to know if it is possible to increase the DMI bandwidth on a P55 board (ASUS P7P55D-E) by increasing the BCLK. The reason for this is my plan to use an m2 NVMe SSD in my second PCI-e x16 slot (only 4 PCI-e 2.0 lanes available) with an m2 to PCI-e adapter. Now, the problem with the...

Can the card use ALL of the bandwidth available to the slot, or is that only possible for a full x16 card? I know that a x16 card in an x16 slot @ x4 speed is going to get the full x4 speed, but is the same true for an x4 card in an x16 slot @ x4 speed? I'm thinking about using a PCI-e x4...

My System is Following 1. CPU - i7 4790K 2. Mobo - ASUS Z97 PRO 3. GPU - AMD R7 260X Sapphire 4. PSU - Cooler Master G550M My PC stopped suddenly, i tried the reset button several time but it did not work. So i opened it and tried the paper clip method of the PSU. The Fan Runs. So i thought...
