Does the MSI Z68-G43 G3 support 8/8 PCIe 2.0 lanes (for SLI/CF)

Hello,
The MSI webpage states
Quote
    • 1 PCI Express gen3 x16 slot, 1 PCI Express gen2 x16 slot
    • 2 PCI Express gen2 x1 slots
    • 3 PCI slots, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface
for the MSI Z68-G43 G3. It doesn't say whether the board can run the 16 PCIE 2.0 Lanes in 8/8 configuration. My current (Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3) board can only do 16/4, so I am considerung moving to this board for Crossfire. Does anyone know if 8/8 2.0 is possible with this board and a Sandy Bridge CPU?
Regards
chris

SLI is not possible on this board.
The PCI-E 2.0 slot is equipped with only 4 lanes.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68AG43_G3.html#hero-specification
PCI-E Gen : Gen3 (1x16), Gen2 (1x4)
Thanks for the help, Remus!
I am now looking to get a Z77A-GD55 instead. It is specified as PCI-E Gen : Gen3 (16, 16), Gen2(4) so it should be fine (Sandy Bridge only reduces it to Gen2 (16, 16) instead of Gen3 (16, 16), right?).
They are somewhat hard to find, though, unlike the Z68A-GD65-G3 with Gen3 (16/0, 8/8) and Z68A-GD80-G3 with Gen3 (16/0, 8/8), Gen2 (1x4) . So I'll see what I can get.

  • Does the MSI P965 Neo-F support ECC memory?

    Can it handle 2x 1 GB DDR2 ELPIDA PC2-5300, 667 MHz, ECC
    Does the MSI P965 Neo-F support ECC memory?

    As mentioned by many, No ECC RAMs support.
    To me, I feel that current state of art DDR II RAMs are good enough to not produced much errors and HDDs have error buffer memory of up to 16MB, so ECC makes me feels that it is a "good to have but not a must" thing nowdays.

  • MSI Z68S-G43(G3) (MS-7750) problems

    Hello, I have the MSI Z68S-G43(G3) (MS-7750) board and I was very pleased with it so far.
    (running bios version 4.3 atm)
    However I have a problem with Control center 2 and it's fan control.
    I just bought Noctua NH-D14 and plugged it's fans into the sysfan 1, as well as other fans in sysfan 2.
    I am trying to change the fan control profile, however there are few problems:
    1. Fan profiles are reset upon restart to some default setting even if I overwrite it by saving the profile .
    2. Whenever I edit the curve in Control Center,  fan speeds are just stuck at the lowest speed .
    Which is rather dangerous tbh.
    (for ex. if 50% is lowest and max is 100% if cpu is stressed fans still stay at 50%)
    I have tested this with Intel Burn test, while monitoring the temps and fan speeds with CPUID Hardware Monitor.
    Another problem I have is after Bios update to v4.3 is with my keyboard.
    It does not work outside OS, however before the update it worked.
    Keyboard info:
    Noppoo choc mini which is Full NKRO over usb and is implemented as three keyboard controllers according to Device manager.
    Now the biggest problem I have is with the fan speeds, the keyboard is more of a gripe... I just keep a spare one around  ...
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    yes the sysfan 1 has a 4pin connector, but in the manual it says that the pwm pin is not to be used.
    The cpu fan is 4 pin pwm.
    And the sysfan 2 is 3pin .
    So the cpu fan connector is pwm, while the others are voltage controlled.
    I am currently using Sysfan 1 for Noctua's fans and Sysfan 2 for the other fans.
    I checked and I can control sysfan's speeds from control panel.
    But the problem I am having is that if I modify the min speed of the curve fans stick to min speed without regard to the temp-speed curve. As if I set them to a fixed speed.
    Here is a sceenshot of the default curve. Now I would like to change the min here to 50% at 40C.

  • Does the UCS C-Series Servers supports PCI/e card digium T1/E1

    Hello,
    Does the UCS C-Series Servers supports/compatible with PCI/e card digium  TE407P/TE420 T1/E1.?
    The server will be used as Asterisk server.
    Thanks
    Philip

    Hi Philip,
    Compatibility will depend on the server model that you have and whether the digium card is a full length, low profile, or half length pcie card.  Take a look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10493/prod_models_comparison.html#~tab-a for details.  If there are any issues with the card itself once it is installed it will have to go through the 3rd party manufacturer.

    it should do as it supports upto 200GB IDE hard drives so i wouldn't think a 20GB one would be any problem (just one question here where on earth did you get a 20GB IDE hard drive as i haven't seen one of them since around 1998?)!
    i struck a Deal with a Guy on Gumtree {http://www.gumtree.co.za/fp-computers-software-in-capetown-westerncape/c9199l3100001}
    he wanted 2 Sticks of DDR2 RAM and he gave me 2 GB RAM DDR3. includin a 20 gig HDD and its a western digital.
    Pls add me on Steam. so we can discuss further.

    P.s What kind of Cable do i need to wire from the Yellow thing to the BIG power structure on the HDD.
    on the hdd is a special cable thats only used now for inside desktop chassis etc.
    do you know anything. maybe post upclose photos for me so i can post on gumtree.

  • Does the iPod Classic 7th generation support movies in the HD format?

    Does the iPod Classic 7th generation support movies in the HD format as well as SD or just SD?

    The screen is actually half of that resolution, at 320x240.  HD at 720p is 1280x720.  HD at 1080p is 1920x1080

  • Does the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 support e-print? I am running on Win 7 Pro 64 bit

    Can you please tell me: does the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 support e-print?  I cannot seem to find or generate or figure out how to create an e-mail address for this printer.  Thank you.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello BoPeepLamb,
    The OfficeJet 8600 Printer does support ePrint. You can access the printers email address by enabling Web Services from the main display on the printer. The icon is located on the top left corner of the screen and looks like piece of paper with circles behind it. Before you can enable Web Services you must make sure you have a valid internet connection first.
    Once you have enabled Web Services, you should have a mobile printing sheet print with a printer code and link to http://www.eprintcenter.com where you can create an account and customize your printers email address.
    If you have any other questions feel free to reply to this post and I will try to find an answer for you.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • Does the GeoRaster method SDO_GEOR.exportTo support the Erdas IMG format?

    Hi Everyone,
    Does the GeoRaster method SDO_GEOR.exportTo support the Erdas IMG format, and SDO_GEOR.exportTo method can export what maximum amount of data?
    Best Regards,
    Lin

    Lin, thanks for your suggestion. the gdal-georaster integration is a great one for GIS and professional usages and can do what exportTo can not do even though it was just recently available. note though, all existing georaster functions, including exportTo, are internally built inside the database server from ground up. this enables users to fully leverage the power of enterprise database and grid computing.
    thanks

    As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
    Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
    BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

  • Does the IE CS6 version have Support for the Middle Eastern tool set? - left to right typing etc.

    Does the IE CS6 version have Support for the Middle Eastern tool set? - left to right typing etc.

    I assume IE means International English, as opposed to English North America (aka US English). There is Middle Eastern and Hebrew support via an English user interface for programs that support it such as InDesign.
    You can change the install language by launching the Adobe Application Manager and clicking on your name in the top left to bring up a context menu. From the menu select Preferences and then click the drop down for Languages. See the screen shot below:

  • Does the 27" iMac wireless card support 802.11a and n

    does the iMac support the 5 GHz wifi format?  How about the N spec?

    I'm sorry but I don't understand this:
    the unit supports 802.11a channels but it doesn't pick up anything.
    Are you saying the iMac cannot connect wirelessly? And why would you be concerned that the very old 'a' standard may not be picked up? The latest standard is 802.11n, not a.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11
    So, is the iMac working wirelessly or not?
