PCI EX16 Asus Tuf Gaming B650M-Plus issues with PCIe 5.0 compatibility and Gen5 functionality
There aren't many recent models with just 8x performance. However, lane sharing is available on devices like mine. My GPU operates at 8x thanks to the 4x SSD I have. The latest units with this spec were released around 2021. Before that, it was more typical on B-series and budget boards. Notable examples include the Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition (R10), Aurora R7, and HP Z4/Z4 Rack/Z6/Z8 G5 workstations. Earlier models were also common on cheaper boards.
So essentially, there are no consumer boards available. The ones you see are all exclusive and proprietary. Even looking back before 2021, I couldn't locate any B series or budget boards with fewer than 16 lanes in the main slot—unless you're considering industrial boards meant for specialized setups.
Those industrial boards, also known as mining boards, were popular after the mining craze faded and people could buy them cheaply—hence the Bseries appeal. I own one in my hallway that’s gathering dust. They’re consumer boards; I’ve never heard of the “industrial” label before. Consumer boards come in a wide variety.
The consumer board fits standard computer shops and fits in a typical tower case. These are not considered consumer boards. The discussion centers on potential issues like CPU socket problems or poor PCIe pin contact.
But there was no false information, just a poor explanation on my side. (English isn't my first language) Creating things like an Asrock H81 Pro for BTC/MSI B360-F Pro is more misinformation I've ever made. We have consumer, enterprise, and industrial electronics. But this mainly applies to factory automation, robotics, and power control. A consumer mining board wouldn't fit this description.
The reason you can't locate something doesn't imply it isn't there. Consider the Biostar TZ590-BTC DUO. Do you have access to all available information about every mobile game? Which database are you relying on, or are you simply following what chatGPT suggests?
Yes, I understand that I don't know everything about every board on the market. That is why I Asked you to find me an example. And you did. And no, i refuse to use Chat GPT. So unless the OP is using a pretty obscure mining board, this isn't what is causing his problem.
