  • Anyone knows san or sino yung nag re-repair ng mobo sa Taguig? Nakalimutan ko na name nya...tia.
  • CPU: i7-8700k
    Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 HD <click here for link>
    GPU: GTX 1070
    Storage: Samsung 970 500GB via M.2 (Windows Drive)

    I plan to buy a samsung 980 1TB to replace my samsung 970 500GB as Windows drive. I plan to buy a PCIE NVME adapter to add the 970GB because I only have 1 x m.2 slot. I know that the GPU has a dedicated PCIe lane to the CPU. Does adding a PCIE NVME adapter (UGREEN 4x Card) makes the GPU function as PCIe8x?
    If ever the GPU ran as 8x will there be a big performance difference?
  • Does adding a PCIE NVME adapter (UGREEN 4x Card) makes the GPU function as PCIe8x?


    From the Gigabyte webpage that you linked to:

    1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16) <--- This is your GPU slot
    * For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.
    2 x PCI Express x16 slots, running at x4 (PCIEX4_1, PCIEX4_2) <--- There is no mention of them sharing the PCIe lanes with the GPU slot.
  • @awakeruze
    thanks
    I assume that using two slots will make each lane as 8x thus degrading the GPU's performance.

  • ^that's an M.2 SATA SSD. papasok/gagana naman yan kahit sa M.2 NVMe slot.
    and i believe M.2 SATA naman yun spare M.2 slot mo sa ibaba.
  • @statix

    dalawa kase yung m2 ko na ssd dito. isa yung ganyan yung itsura tapos yung isa yung isa lang yung parang notch. nun nasa pc shop kase ako sabi nun tech hindi daw compatible sa mobo ko yung dalawa yung parang notch kaya di na namin sinubukan dun sa baba. yun pa naman yung boot drive ko. try ko kalikutin next week. salamat

    yun isa lang ang slot, that's M.2 NVMe.

    here's an old video about M.2 drives. you may skip the video @ 6:12 mark. check your motherboard's M.2 sockets.

  • Di ko sure kung dito ko dapat i-post to pero anyway..
    Pa help naman pa identify yung missing capacitor at kung ano specs. sapphire nitro+ rx580 8gb yung card.

    I can probably resolder the capacitor as long as alam ko kung ano yung bibilhin na replacement.

    TIA
    Image po ng card at ng missing capacitor

  • Anyone naka experience na pag turn on pa lang ng PSU, kahit di pa tiniturn on ung PC mismo, umiilaw na agad ung RAM RGB lights? tapos pag ng switch on na ng PC, wala ngyaayri, stay lng ang RAM RGB sa pag-ilaw and other components including all Fans (CPU cooler, system Fans) di gumagana?

    newly built/assembled ba yan?
  • Guys. Need help. Ano kaya problema neto? Working naman sya 2-3 days ago tapos bigla na lang namatay magisa tapos ayaw na bumukas. Wala naman ako kinabit na bagong component. Ang ginawa ko ni reseat ko na yung power papunta sa mobo pati yung 12 pin ba yun sa motherboard pero namamatay pa din. Halos bago lahat ng parts ko pwera sa ram. Nag try na ko na isang stick lang pero ganyan pa din madalas. Kanina nag try nga ako ng isang stick lang. nag boot naman papunta windows tapos iniwanan ko nag grocery ako saglit. Pagbalik ko patay na naman.

    bago lang yan din mga 1 month pa lang. ang ginawa ko ngayon inalis ko yung extension cable para sa cpu dun sa mobo. nirekta ko muna. hindi pa naman sya namamatay ulit mga ilang hours na din.
  • hello guys

    kapag hindi na ba ka ka detect ng ram yung slot 3 and 4 ng motherboard , does this mean sira na yung ram slot ? when i try my ram modules on a different mobo , ok naman na de detect sila.

    that could be it. common na mag-cause ng issues ang mga extension cables.

    possible, or pwedeng madumi lang yun slots.
  • pwedeng madumi lang yun slots.


    sir ano po best way to clean a ram slot , sa youtube kasi ay gina gamitan nila ng contact cleaner at tinu toothbrush .
  • ^yes, pwede electronic contact cleaner. be gentle ka lang with brushing.

    I've used WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner in the past to clean a faulty switch in my mechanical keyboard, which solved the problem. Just spray it directly over the part you want to clean, and it evaporates in a few seconds.
