Ideacentre k330B Motherboard, CIH61M v1.0, what PCIe-express slot is it? 1,2 or 3?

I have an Ideacentre K330B and the MoBo is CIH61M v1.0, I want my video card and i'm curioius as to what PCIe-Express slot it is. Is it PCIe-Express 1,2 or 3?

There is no BIOS in OS X. There is only the EFI stored in ROM that is not user modifiable. OS X is probably checking Bay 0 for the boot drive since that is where it should be. It won't check the Tempo drive since it is treated like an external drive. I suggest you open Startup Disk preferences to see if the Tempo device is selected as the boot device. If it isn't, then select it. That will probably shave off a few seconds in the startup time.

MSI Gaming 9 AC - PCI Express Slots Position

Hey guys,
Just recently I finished setting up my new machine (even got a problem while updating the BIOS on the mobo, which has been solved with the support from folks of this forum =D) and then after I while using it, I realize that the space between the first and second PCI express slot is just so small, it's my first time running a SLI machine, got two GTX 970 G1 Gaming from Gigabyte and they are so close to each other that after installing some monitoring programs, I can check that the temperature on the first card (the one with no room to breath) goes almost instantaneously to 79ºC~80ºC when playing a high demanding game while the second stays around 64ºC~65ºC, with both cards running at 100% fan speed.
And since the standard thermal limit of the GTX 970 is 79ºC, the gpu clock goes way down from almost 1400 mhz to 1100 mhz to cool it for a while and then boost it again, turn it down to cool it again (and again, again again), there is a noticeable difference of fps while this is happening so I don't know if that is something that is suppose to happen on SLI system or if the cards are really too close to each other, I have check some other motherboards and even the Gaming 7 AC has those two first slots with more space between then.
Is not possible at all to use the third slot to SLI on this mobo to make it work on 8x? There is a solution or some sort of modification to address this? I attached a pics to illustrate it better too.
Thanks!

Thanks for answering guys, my case is a Corsair Obsidian 750D, so there's plenty of space and also two front in-take fans and one exhausting on the back (I also have a Corsair H100i cooler for the CPU and when gaming, set the fans to maximum speed), in some cases I see almost 20ºC of difference between both cards, yesterday I set the temperature limit a little bit above the standard 79ºC to 82º and while the main card was running on constant 82ºC, the second was somewhere between 62 to 64 degrees, I'm kinda worried about this temps and how it could affect the cards, if they are heating way beyond they should and it if could impact the durability of the physical components, cause a sudden malfunction or literally fry something. Am I worrying too much about it?
It's a shame that it seems to be really difficult to find a XPower AC Z97 board here in Brazil, MSI could have also leave a little bit more of space like the Gaming 7 has, there's a technical reason on why they leave the PCI slots closer to each other on the 9 comparing it to 7?

[MSI-K8N-SLI-FI] Primary PCI-Express slot dead ?

Hi,
Early this year with 8800GT plugged in the primary PCI-Express slot would fail to output the video, so I had to revert to my old 6600GT and it worked fine till now that is. I had verified my 8800 GT on different system and it booted just fine.
Now all of a sudden even 6600GT failed to output the video. So, I tried another slot (courtesy SLI) and the system works fine.
Issue: PCI Express width is shown as x1 instead of x8/16 ?
Is there a way to repair the first slot or force x8 on second slot.
regards,
Prashant

Is the MB chipset fan running OK or is it slow or stopped? Any problems with other things controlled by the chipset?
Yes, chipset fan seems to be running just fine, will have to check the speed though. USB ports are working fine. What else should I check ?

Hi edgi,
The PCIe slots are intended for network interface cards such as a 10GbE card. However, I have not heard of anyone installing a fiber channel before.

PCI express slots -- DEAD ?

Hey guys :
Following are the specs of my PC
AMD 64 3200+ 2.0Ghz
MSI Diamond K8N
Geforce 7600Gt
ASUS PSU 440W Max
1Gb RAM
The problem started last year when all of a sudden one of the PCI slot siezed to output VGA signal. So I began using the other slot. A couple of days back same incident happened and now both slots fail to output VGA signal. The card is same. Im not into heavy gaming, just play fifa 09 and stuff like that so guys any ideas whats going on ? Are the slots dead ? Should I replace the mobo ?
I did remove the dust or any thing like that
Any ideas ? .. Please do give trouble shooting advice too
Thank You

Can you get hold of another PCI-E card to test in the slots?
If you can, test the graphics card in another system to determine the graphics card isn't faulty.
If you have a DVI connection on the graphics card try connecting your monitor to this, even if through a VGA to DVI connector.

P7N SLI (MS-7380) PCI Express slots

I'm planning to install these cards so I am looking for a motherboard that can accommodate it:
9600GT (operates at x16)
LSI SAS RAID Card (operates at x4)
USB3.0 card (operates at x1)
I found someone who's selling P7N SLI (MS-7380) so I was wondering if the 9600GT will still run at x16 if I have these installed?
PCI_E1: 9600GT
PCI_E2: LSI SAS RAID Card (operates at x4)
PCI_E3: USB3.0 card (operates at x1)

ive got this board. just wondering why ud need a RAID card?

IdeaCentre K230 - Doesn't detect graphics cards (in PCI-E Slot)

Hello,
I bought a IdeaCentre K230 like 1 or 2 weeks ago and tried to install a graphics card. It did not work. Is it possible this motherboard (the stock one that came with the desktop) does not detect it as it does not show in the Device Manager? Because it didn't detect an Nvidia one i had before. Sorry I am real new to this hardware stuff.
So I purchased a ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card today and tried to install it. I first disabled my on-board graphics driver(s)/adapter (Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family) and then I powered off my computer, opened the case, installed the 4670 into the PCI Express slot and put the case back into it's place.
Then I turned on my computer and it was a 800x600 resolution. So I went into Device Manager and checked Display Adapters and I did not see the Radeon. So I opened the CD/DVD drive and inserted the CD that came with the graphics card. Then I ran the installation and it said "Installation complete. Errors have occurred" (or something to that effect). So I was like *** I'm pissed since this is the second card I have tried (previous being an Nvidia). And I'm not sure if I needed to plug the DVI cable for my monitor into the card so I did that and restarted and nothing showed (however I did hear the fan running, so it does have power). So then I plugged in the standard VGA into the adapter thing that came with it (that you plug in a VGA and then you plug the adapter into the card outputting a DVI signal thingy??), got nothing. So then I plugged the VGA into the one that is not on the card but on the computer itself. Then display showed (again, in 800x600). I am sure that the card is physically installed properly as I hear the fan running, and see it running. I also might add that the graphics card does not require additional power as it gets its power via the PCI Express port.
Please, PLEASE help me as to what I am doing wrong.
The Nvidia 9600 GSO did not work because the motherboard did not detect it (according to Geek Squad @ Best Buy). I am afraid that might be the problem of this one too. But I really want a good graphics card to work in my computer.
Computer Specs:
Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz (5.00 total GHz)
6.00 GB ram
Windows Vista 64-bit

I wouldn't say that the power supply would be the problem. It would definitely keep the graphics card from reaching it's full potential.
Generally you would do the following....
Power off computer.
Flip the switch on the power supply to off.
Open case.
Insert the card into the PCI-E x16 slot.
Connect VGA/DVI to graphics card. [If required, connect power supply to graphics card. But I see this is not the case.]
Boot up computer.
Install driver.
Adjust resolution/settings.
Enjoy.
Try reseating the graphics card.

SiS makes inroads into AMD chipset market, set to launch PCIe chipsets in November
Michael McManus, DigiTimes.com, Taipei [Wednesday 6 October 2004]
Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) is making inroads into the AMD chipset market and will increase its efforts by releasing a number of PCI Express (PCIe) chipsets for the AMD K8 platform, beginning in November, according to the company.
SiS claims it ranks second in market share in both the Intel and AMD chipset market, and its goal is to become the number-one producer of AMD chipsets. Currently, VIA is the market leader in the AMD segment.
In September, SiS announced that NEC and Hewlett-Packard (HP) would market AMD K8 products featuring the company’s chipsets. Both HP and NEC will bundle the integrated SiS760 with their consumer PCs.
According to the company, its revenues are expected to grow 10% sequentially in September due to increased sales of K8 chipsets to PC OEMs.
In November, SiS will begin volume production of its discrete PCIe-enabled 761 north bridge, which will feature one PCIe x16 lane. The761GS, a version featuring integrated graphics, will follow in the first quarter of next year. The company will also introduce two more integrated parts in the second quarter of next year, the 770 and 756FX, with volume production coming in the third quarter.
The 761GX and 756FX will feature SiS’ Mirage1 graphics, which support DirectX7, while the 770 will use the Mirage3 core, which supports DirectX9.
According to SiS, the 756FX will also support two PCIe express graphics cards. In addition to supporting Nvidia’s SLI (scalable link interface) solution, SiS claims it is developing a part that will support ATI PCIe cards.
SiS will partner its PCIe north bridges with the 965 I/O controller. The 965 features two PCIe x1 lanes, integrated RAID and Gigabit Ethernet, and supports four SATA ports.
SiS’ November launch of its PCIe chipsets will come one month after VIA begins volume production of its VIA K8T890 chipset. Nvidia and ATI are also expected to release PCIe chipsets for the AMD platform in the fourth quarter.

What is the difference between PCI-x and PCI Express?

I hear the new dual core Power Macs have PCI Express slots. How are these different than the PCI-X slots in my old Power Mac?
jmf

PCI Express is faster than PCI-X and not a bus architecture. Each slot has its own dedicated bandwidth to and from the system controller.
PCI-X has a maximum clock speed of 133 MHz and a maximum throughput of just over 1 GBps.
PCI Express cards and slots are defined by their bandwidth, or number of data lanes — typically one lane, four lanes, eight lanes, or 16 lanes. At 250 MBps per lane, a four-lane slot can transfer data at up to 1 GBps and an eight-lane slot, up to 2 GBps. The new PowerMac G5s have one 16 lane slot, two four-lane slots, and one eight-lane slot.

Problem of PCI express link width and speed

hello,
I instantiate the pci express core v1.7 into a pci express endpoint and the core was configured as GEN I x8 or GEN II x4. By using the example design Xilinx offered in the ipcore dir, I could read and write device by PIO mode.
However, when I check the device’s link width and speed by using lspci –vvvv in Linux, I found that no matter what configurations I set, the device link is always trained as GEN I x1, which means the throughput of device, reduce 8 times. May the most important problem is that all logic in the user layer upon transaction layer are written at 250MHz, and if link width and speed are limited 2.5G/T and x1, I need to change user logic circuit which is a huge work.
So my question is how to change the PCI express link width and speed in OS side, or I need to change a new motherboard?
(I guess it related with motherboard, and I check that the PCI express slot in motherboard support GEN II X16. Another issue, when I insert a PCI express GEN II x8 device, the device is also trained as GEN I x1).
