Problem during the transition from version 1650 to 5060
It appears the setup functions correctly in B85-G43 PCIe 3.0 but not on your present board, suggesting a negotiation or compatibility problem. Consider forcing the PCIe slot to Gen3 mode in BIOS instead of Auto/Gen4/Gen5. Many older boards don’t properly communicate with newer GPUs unless you manually set it to Gen3. If the issue persists even at Gen3, the fault likely lies with the board itself rather than the GPU.
The H510M-A works well with your setup. It handles PCIe 4.0 through the GPU port and supports 10th/11th generation CPUs. Your 5060 or 3060 will run smoothly without needing PCIe 5.0. Upgrading to PCIe 4.0 is the best choice for your current hardware.
I'll check back tomorrow. Just to confirm, you're preparing for a motherboard swap and want guidance on pre-swap steps.
Keep important backups ready. Only modify standoffs with screw holes on the new board; otherwise, remove them. Verify the 24-pin and CPU 8-pin power cables fit correctly. Reapply thermal paste when reinstalling the cooler. The small front panel connectors for power, reset, and LEDs are the most delicate—work carefully there. After first boot, enter BIOS, apply optimized defaults, configure your boot drive, and download the newest chipset, LAN, or audio drivers from the manufacturer’s site instead of depending on Windows Update. Proceed slowly; once everything loads, drivers will follow.
