The PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard is Gen 4, yet the BIOS and CPUZ are displaying it as Gen 5.
The PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard is Gen 4, yet the BIOS and CPUZ are displaying it as Gen 5.
I upgraded my GPU to 9070 XT (a PCIE5 card), but it seems my MOBO only supports PCIE4:

CPUZ displays the graphics interface as PCIE5, 32 GT/s.
Shouldn't the GPU operate at PCIE4 speed? I'm concerned about possible instabilities, thinking this mismatch might be the cause.
Since installing the new GPU, the system has randomly frozen when idle or upon waking from sleep.
Nevertheless, I've performed stress tests in benchmarks and games without any crashes.
It likely relates to power state management. I've attempted a clean driver reinstall using DDU, but it didn't resolve the issue.
I plan to update the BIOS to the latest version and monitor if that improves things.
Review BIOS configurations.
Attempt to force PCIE slot into PCIE 4.0 mode.
Which CPU model are you using?
Models from the 7000 and 9000 series support PCIE 5.0 mode. The 8000 series supports up to PCIE 4.0 mode.

I own a 9700x and the PCIe Gen slot PCIE gen relies on the CPU? Isn't it also determined by the motherboard? It seems to block image insertion for some reason. Please confirm if this setup functions: CPUZ, BIOS. Under Prom21 chipset settings, I switched PCIE Port 3 (likely the GPU port since it's the only one marked as enabled) to Gen 4, but CPUZ still lists Gen 5. I've updated the BIOS to F32 with the latest release.
CPU is compatible with PCIE 5.0. Motherboard verified for PCIE 4.0 functionality.
Given your graphics card uses PCIE 5.0 and CPU supports it, they might be attempting PCIE 5.0 mode instead and failing to auto-negotiate for PCIE 4.0.
In this case, you need to manually set PCIE 4.0 mode.
Please display a screenshot from GPU-Z (not CPU-Z).
Uncertain about what Prom21 refers to.
Check Settings/Miscellaneous/PCIE x16 Link Speed.
The motherboard is confirmed to support PCIE 4.0 mode. During its production, PCIE 5.0 graphics cards were not offered. PCIE 5.0 becomes compatible with your CPU and graphics card setup, though some problems might arise.
The information doesn't require various hardware parts for PCIE5 versus 4, and if the CPU and GPU together handle Gen 5, the motherboard will likely support it as well. That's helpful to know.
The motherboard contains only the traces from the PCIE slot to the CPU. It's essentially a straightforward connection with minimal hardware in between. However, there are notable distinctions between the signaling methods for PCIE 4.0 and PCIE 5.0. Traces intended for PCIE 4.0 could cause signal issues when used in PCIE 5.0 mode.
