Many modern PC motherboards are silently throttling PCIe expansion slots through hidden BIOS settings and physical lane sharing. Experts recommend verifying link speeds with tools like AIDA64 to ensure hardware runs at full capacity. #TechNews #PCBuilding #Hardware #Motherboard #PCMasterRace

Your motherboard is silently throttling your PCIe expansion cards: How to check your BIOS settings

You buy a premium graphics card or high-speed storage drive, plug it into the biggest physical connection on your system board, and assume you are getting maximum performance. According to a new hardware guide by XDA Developers, many PC motherboards are silently throttling these PCIe expansion cards through hidden BIOS settings and physical wiring limitations.

Prices on the secondhand #hardware market ar getting crazy too. Just saw an offer of 16GB DDR3 ECC #RAM. 130$ a pop. Starting bid. Or someone slinging used and untested #motherboard for 300$. Are they running an auction or a lottery?

Cleared the CMOS of my machine (removed the battery and pressed the button a few times also), hopefully that addresses the random USB port shorting and related problems of the STRIX x670e (ALL variants) motherboard.
Sound and networking are addon since I couldn't be bothered with onboard "USB wiredless ethernet" and "USB AUDIO" (no input function), same for my graphics card showing up when using lsusb in the terminal (it's PCI-E, how the fuck?). #AMD #ROG #strix #motherboard #asusrog #problems

Today didn't go quite as planned. We went to a colleague at the IT club to install Linux to replace Window 10 on her old desktop computer....

Gigabyte Announces New AORUS X870E Infinity Next And Infinity RTX 50 Series GPU

Gigabyte held its keynote ahead of Computex 2026. The event gave shed light on two points: a new motherboard and Infinity RTX 50 Series GPUs.

I'm still sad that I apparently damaged my old Asus Pro WS X570-ACE motherboard when removing the CPU (due to failed cooler). There aren't any good AM4 motherboards now. The gamer ones don't support ECC UDIMMs, and the cheap ones that do support ECC have poor PCIe configurations. I need 3 x8 PCIe slots.
I ended up with a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite. It supports ECC, and has 3 x16 slots, but the actual lanes to the x17 slots are x16, x4, and x1.

SpacemiT K3-powered DC-ROMA RISC-V motherboard III is made for the Framework Laptop 13

Another day, another SpacemiT K3 device is released, namely Deep Computing DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III for Framework Laptop 13, following the K3 Pico-ITX SBC and K3-CoM260 (and related Jupiter 2 and Banana Pi BPI-SM10) on Monday, and the Firefly AIBOX-K3 on Tuesday. Initially launched with Intel processors, the Framework Laptop 13 repairable and modular laptop had already got a RISC-V motherboard with the StarFive JH7110-based “DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard” in 2024, followed by an ESWIN EIC7702X variant the next year. The third RISC-V mainboard features the octa-core K3 64-bit RISC-V SoC with up to 60 TOPS (Sparse) of AI performance, up to 32GB RAM, and an optional 1TB NVMe SSD. Specifications of the Framework Laptop 13 with DC-ROMA RISC-V Mainboard III: SoC – SpacemiT K3 CPU 8x 64-bit RISC-V X100 “big” cores clocked up to 2.4 GHz, RVA23 compliance; 130 KDMIPS performance (similar to RK3588) 8x RISC-V A100 AI Cores with
