How does that work for the PC I just got a month ago that has this motherboard and was advertised as having PCIe 5.0 ? https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00129652 https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00129652 I just lose capability that was clearly marked as a specific feature in the item I purchased?
Ah, I see that the PCIe 5.0 mentioned in the product specs is for the M.2 storage, not for the PCI slot for a graphics card. The post title should probably say "removes unofficial GPU slot PCIe 5.0 support" or something.
But yeah, considering I have a 5060ti 16gb on this motherboard, I guess I'll be staying with the current BIOS version indefinitely... Just checked with CPU-Z, it says Bus: PCI Express 5.0, current link width: x8 , current link speed: 16GT/s
- kvemkon 1y agoIt's only for single SSD M.2 storage slot directly connected to the CPU.
- Semaphor 1y agoConfusing marketing. It supports PCIe 5 for storage, but not the GPU. Nothing official changed.
- amatecha 1y agoYeah so I just noticed, that is indeed confusing, though partly confusing on the post author's part. The marketing does indeed only mention PCIe 4.0 for the expansion slots.
- xmodem 1y agoIt sounds like this only applies to boards that were never listed as PCIe 5 capable in the first place.
- rtkwe 1y agoIf you read the detailed specs on the page closely it never advertised 5.0 speeds _on the PCIe slots_ only on the M.2 interfaces. The top line product name is deceptive, either intentionally or accidentally. Full expansion card specs only mention PCIe 4.0: https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00129652#:~:text=environment%20and%20equipment.)-,Expansion%20Slots,-1%20x%20PCI https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00129652#:~:text=en... M.2 Storage specs mention the 5.0 speeds and only for one of the slots: https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00129652#:~:text=processor%20is%20used.-,Storage%20Interface,-1%20x%20M https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00129652#:~:text=pr...
