Question attaching pcie 3.1 card to pcie 3.0 slot

[daggs1]

Greetings,

small question, got a pcie 3.0 late and thinking of getting a pcie 3.1 card, can I expect it work ok?
I saw old discussion stating possible stabilization issues

thoughts?

It's a revision of 3.0 not a different spec.

this is what I saw: https://community.intel.com/t5/Ethe...-t1-be-installed-in-PCIe-3-0-slot/m-p/1487017

I wouldn't worry about that. Like Microsoft's Community, Intel's community has gone to crap a bunch of Intel contract "employees" in Malaysia giving canned company responses for 35 cents each. What motherboard/system?

https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H170M Pro4s/, os is linux using kernel 6.6.x

I wouldn't expect any problems, at least not from the motherboard side. It's like Intel's third iteration or generation of chipsets and CPUs with PCI-E 3.0 support.

It would probably work fine in even a PCIe 1.0 slot, but then would be bus limited to less than 2.5Gb.
