  • MSI 890FXA-GD70 - Can you use all 6 PCI Express expansion slots at once?

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to use all 6 PCI Express expansion slots on the motherboard (the 5 Full x16 slot and the 1 x1 slot) at the same time?  I know I'd lose the capability for x16 bandwidth but does using any of the slots automatically disable any of the other slots?  I have 6 single wide x1 PCI express cards I want to use at the same time and they do not all seem to be getting recognized by the OS (W7 x64).
    Specs on the machine are:
    890FXA-GD70 Motherboard - BIOS 1.9
    AMD Sempron 145 CPU
    4 GB DDR3 Kingston RAM
    WD 160 GB Blue SATA HD
    Win7 x64
    Thanks!

    What cards are they?
    By not recognised is mean, not detected? driver conflict?

    • 5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots
    - PCI_E1 supports up to PCIE x16 speed (when PCI_E3 is empty)
    - PCI_E5 supports up to PCIE x16 speed (when PCI_E6 is empty)
    - If you want to install two graphics cards, please use PCI_E1 & PCI_E5 slots
    - PCI_E3 & PCI_E6 support up to PCIE x8 speed
    - If you want to install four expansion cards into PCI_E1, E3, E5 & E6 slots, these four PCIE x 16 lanes  will auto arrange from x16/ x0/ x16/ x0 to x8/ x8/ x8/ x8
    - PCI_E4 supports up to PCIE x4 speed
    All PCI-E slots can be filled at the same time with no problem.
    They will run at x8,x8,x4,x8,x8
    The question mark is the small PCI-E x1 slot.
    It's not clear if will affect others or will be disabled, or will work fine with x1 speeds as adverted.
    What hapends if you fill 5x of those cards into the five of the PCI-E slots, except the small PCI-E x1 slot?

  • Need help enabling PCI Express graphics slot on HP envy 700. HELP!

    Hello, My name is Patrick. Im 14 and I need sombodys help. Before you finish reading and your about to leave a suggetion for me, Im ONLY 14 and im not that good with cpu WORDS. For instince, I had to search up what the pci express graphics slot was xD. Last time i tried to do this i had to call mutiple numbers that led me to breaking my cpu. If anybody could leave STEP-BY-STEP instructions to enable that pci express graphics i would be very appretiated. Now here are the things i know for sure. This craphics card is a Geforce 650 graphics card that i know for a fact can work on my Hp Envy desktop. I have enought power suplyage to power sed Graphics card. So I already know how to insert the card, But thats pretty much it. I dont know if i have to have the External graphics card in while enabling the pci graphics. So Please be very discrptive while you answer this. I have already failed once, and had to send in my cpu to the repair station in hp. THAT TOOK 15 DAYS! It is expose to be on my front porch in 2 days. The grapics card is a $115 dollar item that i do not want to return because it seems that it can improve my frames while playing my Video games. So if anybody could help me with this i would be very thankful. Just leave the steps down below in VERY discriptive words that a 14 year old would understand. Thank you. Lastly I know what the bios is and also how to get there. Thats is all, THANKS YOU I forgot to tell you. The BIGEST PROBLEM I HAD IS whenever i plugged in my graphics card it would show a black screen on my moniter as i would boot it  Up. I need help getting that picture

    Hi:
    Did you change the required BIOS settings before you installed your new video card?
    If not, please follow the instructions at the link below...

    If that doesn't get the video card to work, unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

  • MSI NF980-G65 PCI express x16 slot question

    i was rewiring my case so i could get some cables out of the way, and as i was removing my graphics card, i pressed too hard on the little blue tail on the topmost PCI slot (the one closest to the processor socket) and the tail fell off. it looks like a bit of plastic chipped off the actual slot where the tail connects to the board, but i'm not sure if there's any damage to the slot, or if the slot has anything that has been compromised. the chip off the pci express x16 slot does not reach into the slot itself, there's no hole in the slot, i dont believe any of the connectors are touched, but i could be wrong.
    here's a picture of the motherboard with the tail on the top PCI express x16 slot.

    to clarify,
    it's just there to help guide the card in place and it's not a tab that releases a mechanism which physically lock the card in place.
    its actually lock the card in a place, but will be fine without it as well,
    when its filled well into the slot and secured by the screws

  • PCI Express Expansion Slots

    I noticed that the Mac Pro offers 3 extra expansions slots for PCI Express graphics cards. How is it possible to SLI three graphics cards with no nForce MCP? Are the other slots even usable and how can you combine four graphics cards with no Crossfire or SLI?

    SLI and Crossfire are not supported at this time.
    The possibility to run more monitors is there with the extra slots, but not to combine video cards for faster frame rates on a one monitor.
    It's not Apple's fault, it's the limited capabilities in the Xeon chipset supposedly, not all slots can be 16x. A pair can be 8x though.
    I lost the link where Ars Tech explains it.

  • H530 - Variant: 57324689 PCI Express expansion slot ?

    Hi there.
    I can´t figure out if the expansion slot on board is a "real" pci express, or if perhaps it is something different..
    Can you pleace help me ?
    I need to fit a Firewire pci-express card or adapter of some sort to my computer...
    And the cheapest i have found is a firewire pci express card...
    The reason i ask, is that i can see H530 type computers with 3 pci-express slots, but my computer has only one ?!?
    And also i see something about that slot is only for some kind of wan card ?!?
    So i am a little confused...
    Pleace help me
    Kind Regards
    Peter

    hi pshdo,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
      Can you take a photo of your mainboard slots.
    the reason is, Your system board might be different from this photo i found for H530,
        but if it is the same then, here it is
    Your system has 1 PCIE x16 most likely for GPU or Graphics card.
    Then you have this three small PCIE x1.
    check if that firewire adapter supports PCIE x1 then you good to go,
    Hope this helps
    Cheers!

  • PCI Express Power Cable for ATI X1900 XT

    I was given a X1900 ATI but the card didn't come with the power cord (booster cable) that connects to the motherboard. I'd like to order one but have no idea what I need to get. I know it's a 6 pin to 6 pin connection but that's it. Anyone would know where I could find the right info? I tried ATI/AMD but they only show the old power cable (4 pin inline).
    Thanks.

    hey Renaud
    i'm planning to buy a pair.. but i'm not sure if it will fit....
    one end plugs into the motherboard.. the other end goes into the vid card
    but the question is does it fit the Mac Pro pci express power socket?
    and the other end of it does it fit any standard pc vid card? or is it also smaller?
    as i plan to buy this for my Mac Pro so i can power up the 8800 gtx
    thanks!

  • What version is my PCI Express x1 slot?

  • Sound Blaster PCI Express - No option for AUDIO CREATION mode.

    I need help. ?I purchased another computer from Dell, with a Sound Blaster board just as I have done with three other computers. ?This makes four.
    I ordered it with the Sound Blaster board because of the THREE MODES, Entertainment Mode, Gaming Mode, and Audio Creation Mode. ?The Audio Creation mode is really what I want because it allows to add reverb.
    So when I get this latest Dell with the Sound Blaster card it is a
    Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express
    The Volume control does not show the three modes. GAMING, ENTERTAINMENT, and AUDIO Creation. ?It only shows the ENTERTAINMENT mode.
    So I thought perhaps those were enhancements that had to be installed from the Creative Sound Blaster CD that Dell provides. ?I put the CD in the dri've, and it goes into install mode and then when you start the install it says do you want to add additional software to which I answer YES.
    Then it says install your CD in the CD dri've, which of course it is already in there. ?The CD looks funky. ?No scratches, it is new, but it has an uncharacteristic distortion on the data side so it is probably bad.
    I download the drivers off the Creative site and it says, you have a newer version already installed on your computer.
    I have called Dell 5 times over the course of 2.5 hours being disconnected all 5 times after speaking to people with extremely thick accents that know as much about computers as I know about brain surgery.
    BOTTOM LINE
    1.Does the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express have the ability to support the three modes: ?Entertainment, Gaming, and AUDIO CREATION.
    If so, how do I get it to workHow do I get a new CD
    2. If this card does not support the three modes, what card doesThe Sound Blaster cards in my other three Dells all support these three modes.
    Thanks!
    Doc from Las Vegas

    No the Xtreme Audio doesn't not support the three modes, it only has Entertainment mode. Any X-Fi card that is not a Xtreme Audio does support the three modes.

  • What can be done with the PCI express expansion slot

    Hello Mac world. This is Cee again with another wild question about the Macbook pro. I recently purchased a 17in Macbook pro with the discrete 1gb AMD radeon graphics card and I have a question. Is it possible to enhance this discrete graphics card using the express expansion port? I ask because I’m an intense console gammer and I would like to take this experience on the go with my Macbook pro. I know this Macbook can handle games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 if set to low settings, but is there a way to expand the graphics card using the express expansion port? I know there are other laptops designed specifically for the purpose of intense gaming, but I just wanted to try it out on the Macbook pro.
    Thanks for any help.

    Nope, sorry.

    The MBP has powerful graphics, but for a limited time as games get more powerful
    For computer gaiming you need a Windows 7 tower where the video card upgrade options are massive.
    laptops of all kinds can't do this, neither can most Mac's, the Mac Pro has little or no graphic card upgrade options.

  • PCI express video Card for Lr3?

    Greetings,
    I may recall reading that a "certain type" of video card will help speed up Lr3 performance...
    If so - what type am I looking for and of course - what is a good money bargain??
    Thank-you!

    Can you be more specific about your processor and your system? If the AMD processor is one of the first generation dual cores (I gather they are still being sold in budget systems), then upgrading to a more modern processor will show you the most benefit and saving your pennies for a new system would be the best option.
    Otherwise, add that gig of RAM and, if your computer motherboard can handle it, jump up to 8GB.
    Add a graphics card if you don't have one because without one your system dedicates system RAM to graphics.
    Add a second 7200RPM hard drive if your system power supply and cooling can handle it.

  • If my motherboard has no PCI slot for a graphics card, can I add a slot to it?

    I was traded under warrenty a Compaq Presario with a H-Apricot-RS780L-uATX (Apricot) motherboard.  It has onboard ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics and no PCI slot to upgrade.  Can I add a slot to it or am I stuck with it?

  • Sat Pro M70-113: Express Card slot - What for?

    Hi,
    can anybody tell me what is the use of express card slot on my sat pro m70-113,like what hardware can i connect to it for expansion..
    Thanks..

    Hi
    This new expansion Express Card slot for notebooks has two sizes: Express Card/34 and Express Card/54, whose widths will be 34 mm (1/8) and 54 mm, respectively. Both are 75 mm long and 5 mm thick. The idea is the same of the PCCard, only that by using serial communication instead the parallel one, it uses less pins (only 26 pins, against 68 pins in the PC Card) and that permits the manufacture of smaller expansion boards.
    Bye
