Discussing PCI-e lanes involves understanding data transfer capabilities and connectivity options.
Hey there! Welcome to the scene. I recently relocated to a different country and had to send my computer overseas. The main issue was that my CPU socket got damaged during shipping. I managed to find a used MSI X570 Tomahawk and installed it today. Most of the problems started with my PCI-e network card, which ended up sharing the same controller as the one inside the motherboard (Intel AX200). Windows didn’t like having two of those devices. I tried turning off the built-in one, hoping the PCI-e version would work better. That worked. Now I’m wondering if this setup is actually optimal. I have two M.2 drives—one with PCI Gen4 and another with the 2080Ti. With so much data moving through the PCIe interface, it’s worth checking which performs better. My technical skills are still developing, but I’m eager to learn!
