Gen3 settings

[dtran]

Hi all,
I have an intel weimea bay and Romley systems here. They are gen3 systems. Are the system setup by default to detect gen3 hardware already?

Or do I have to set it up myself? Sbios? But where?

Are you talking about SATA "gen3" (SATA 6G), USB gen3 (USB 3.0), or PCI-E "gen3" (PCI-E 3.0), or something else entirely?

PCI-E "gen3" (PCI-E 3.0). Thanks for the reply

I didn't think that Intel had any chipsets on the market already that could do PCI-E 3.0. Are you sure your systems are capable?

^ X79 chipset boards (for SB-E) are not yet on the official market. AFAIK they support PCIe 3.0 and earlier, with auto-negotiation.
