Question How to improve PCIe Gen5 performance of AMD 7600X?

Now I am using a B650E motherboard with 7600X CPU to measure the PCIe Gen5 devices. Unfortunately, I find the PCIe Gen5 slot can not get up to full speed. It seems the PCIe Gen5 x16 slot has only x8 capability. Using B650E and X670E MB with 7600X CPU to test PCIe Gen5 performance. The...

Question if nowadays gpu and nvme directly talk to CPU then how come chipset doesn't support pcie 4?

I am trying to learn about computer hardware, I learnt that modern cpu skips chipset and directly communicates to gpu and ssd. But then again there are few motherboard which supports ryzen 3rd gen cpus but do not have pcie 4. While this is not in the case of b550. So my question is if gpu and...

A dual-port Thunderbolt 3 controller in laptop has 22gbps or 32gbps aggregate PCIe data bandwidth?

Hi forum, A painful aspect of the Thunderbolt 3 ecosystem is that Intel not even has clarified how much PCIe data their dual-port Thunderbolt 3 controllers used in laptops, actually have. Each Thunderbolt 3 port does 22gbps full-duplex PCIe data, so 22gbps up and 22gbps down. (The "40gbps"...

Can I plug my PCIe cable into SATA output of Seasonic X760?

Hi, I have a SS-760KM, which I believe is also called X760. I would like to know if I can plug my double PCIe cable into the first two SATA power outputs without blowing my out of warranty mobo or my new expensive AMD RX Vega which has 2 PCIe power inputs onboard? Thanks a lot

Why GeForce 10 series are using x16 PCIe?

GeForce 10 series are employing PCIe 3.0 x16 and since PCIe lanes are limited in CPUs and motherboards, users are forced to use 2 x8 configuration if they want to use two GPUs; some wonders what limitation (especially in bandwidth) the GPU will encounter when forcing it to use x8 instead of x16...
