Gigabyte Z68 D2H-B3 compatibilità slot PCI express

[grusso123]

Rifaccio la domanda esponendola meglio, l'Asus H67 EVO nelle specifiche dice:

1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 [Black] (at x4 mode, compatible with PCIe x1, x2 and x4 devices)
cioè da quello che ho capito una Pc card PCI Express x1 posso metterla anche nello slot della PCI Express x16.

ora per la scheda in oggetto la Gigabyte è lo stesso nonostante non sia esattamente specificato come per l'Asus?

mi rispondo da solo:


You can "up-plug" PCI-Express cards. That means that you can plug a PCI-Express x1 expansion card into a PCI-Express x1, x4, x8, or x16 expansion slot and it will work (as long as the motherboard BIOS doesn't have bugs). The x1 expansion card can only run at x1 speed in any of those slots but it will work. Likewise, you can plug x4 expansion cards into x4, x8, and x16 slots and you can plug x8 expansion cards (if you can find one) into x8 and x16 slots. But you can't "down-plug" PCI-Express cards because an expansion card with a higher number of lanes (the "x" value) physically won't fit into an expansion slot with a lower number of lanes. For example, a x16 expansion card won't fit into a x8, x4, or x1 slot.

When it comes to video cards, some motherboards can be extremely picky about up-plugging. You should always be able to plug a x1, x4, or x8 video card into a x16 PCI-Express slot and have it work. It may only run at x1 speeds but it should work nonetheless. Unfortunately, many motherboards have problems with video card up-plugging. As time passes, the motherboard BIOSes should have better support for up-plugging video cards but for now it may not work. Plugging a x16 video card into a x16 slot always works and plugging a x1 video card into a x1 slot almost always works but the other combinations may not work properly. If you have problems up-plugging a video card then you should go to the motherboard manufacturer's website and update the motherboard BIOS. That's where they will fix problems with expansion card up-plugging.

assolutamente un comportamento da evitare, avevi già una discussione aperta e li dovevi continuare

senza contare che esiste, e ci avevi anche già postato, la discussione dedicata alle mobo Z68

CLOSED!!
