a few days ago i posted a thread about my pcie bus not running in 16x but running in 8x. i have just recived my new board MA790FX-UD5P and this one is also running @8x it cant be the same fault on two boards the only thing i can now think of is it it the graphics card (GTX275). i have started the rma but before i send it back has anyone got anymore ideas about what it could be i have a new 4870x2 comming tomorrow to try,it wont have anything to do with a nvidia card on an AMD chipset could it
many thanks for any replys.
 
I'm going to assume you have the video card in the blue pci-e slot and nothing in the orange pci-e slot. Might just be a bios setting. Have you poked around the bios to see if there's link width control for the pci-e slots?
 
yep the graphics card the only thing i can think of, im sure i will fing out tomorrow when the 4870x2 comes.as far as i know that needs the full bandwidth to run propley
