I am receiving these pcie lane errors with my new build. Are these normal? Or I shouldn't be concerned about them?
Thank you

Seems the picture I attached is removed. So I just tell you the info.
I use Hwmonitor app, and under GOU senction, I notice increase in this rows:
PCI EXPRESS ERROR COUNTERRS:
- Receiver Errors​
-Recovery Count​
-PCIe Lane 2 Errors​
-PCIe Lane 5 Errors​

Not normal if they’re steadily increasing. If they keep climbing, could point to GPU/board defect worth RMA.
Do they increase only under load, or even at idle?

after a few hourse of use, I see a few of them. Specillay those that happen on the line. those look so bad to me.

Some info from HWinfo forums. Might be a solution for you there, specifically post 16 might help.

Yes, the recovery count seems normal, so I don't care about it
But PCIe errors, even as they are just few, and I don't see any problems in the GPU performance, make me worried.
Did you run hwinfo to see what happens in your cases?
I biult my previous pc about 15 years ago. I don't know if this is the reason that I am too sensitive, or I have the right to be sensitive :D

The more I search, the more it appears it can be anything from graphics cards, to wifi cards, to nvme drives. The general consensus is that if it works fine, it's fine.

If they show up at idle even slowly, that usually means signal integrity issues rather than just load stress.
  • Could be a bad riser cable (if you're using one).
  • Could be motherboard slot/seating problem.
  • Try different PCIe slot if available.
If they keep climbing no matter what, it’s not normal. A handful isn't catastrophic, but persistent errors.
