Hello,
Here is my problem:
I got 2 new m.2 ssd to put on my motherboard. 2 are 970 evo plus. They are both recognized natively on the motherboard, updated to the bios number 2004. My graphic card, since it was always on the pciex16_1 running at x16, suddenly went to x8 mode instead of its pervious settings, like it always did by the past before i set a pair of ssd's (the 2 m.2 i recently added). CPU is an i9 9900k also. Not to mention, this is also my only one gpu card.
When i tried to go into the bios, i noticed some buggy things happening. The pcie slot doesn't show any card inserted in it, half of the time, and other times, it says x8 native.
I do not understand if i am doing something wrong or if it is pefectly normal. I do not want my 2080ti to run at x8. So before to think upgrading my motherboard and cpu, i prefer to know if i can do something about the bios settings.
My setup is this one:
i9-9900k on a maximus XI hero (bios 2004)
rog strix rtx 2080ti oc
2x16gb ram at 3200mhz
blue-ray drive on pci slot1
WD hdd on pci slot 3
corsair h115i pro
seasonic 850W
970 evo plus 1T on m.2_1
970 evo plus 2T on m.2_2
When i launch gpu-z, i get this as a result (and the sensors)
It may be some power saving. But wich option should i then change into the bios to be able to release enough power to get 16 instead of x8 for the gpu card? of course, if this is the problem. As i said, i can't barely go to direct settings for the m-2 as nothing is shown as is with "m.2 options blah blah". Only shown as native.
Thanks for any help, can't imagine how it would be appreciated :o:o!
