Gigabyte High-End P55 Motherboard Pictured

Actually upon second look that card I linked above is PCI x1 w/ 4 ports. I can't find a single x4 lan card. I can't find any card that's not a video card above x1. And no, I don't think you can put x1 into a x16 slot. I could be wrong though, I'm waiting for some proof.......

Well, sorry, I cannot take put the cards from the servers... The proof is out there, as in the RAID card above...

Wasn't expecting that just a couple of links. I'll just take your word for it though and admit I'm wrong, and those slots would come in useful after all.

I'm 99% sure you can put smaller PCI-e cards into a PCI-e X16 slot. I haven't tried it, but have heard many times of it being done.

A PCIe card will fit into a connector which has equal or bigger size, but not the other way around.
I.e. a 1x card can fit into 1x, 4x, 8x and 16x slot
An 8x card can fit 8x and 16x slot.

Yeah I just read that in wiki, seems odd but hey that's nice. Now I'm not sure why they have x1 slots on there. :laugh:

Still can't find any non video cards at more than 1x though......

VIPER · Apr 27, 2009

We have other servers with a lot of PCI-Express 1x inside. No matter the slot is 16x, 8x or 4x. Of course they work, they are pin-by-pin compatible.

What is the deal with the NAND Flash slots on these new boards?? (The black slot next to the floppy). I have seen a few preview shots of boards with this, but no explanation as to its use/interface. Any ideas? :confused:

White one is floppy

Near the ram slots, that's an IDE port. The black thing next to it, is a SSD slot. This is for the (I think it's called Braidwood) technology.

The floppy is down near where the firewire/USB headers are.

Even other way around, if the PCIe-slot is open ended (or you make it like one). Obviously the card can't work faster than the slot it is in.

Don't forget that PCIe is downwards compatible - so if you have a 16x slot, you can plug in a 1x, 4x, 8x or 16x card.

How come there were 10+ replies after I wrote that that said the exact same thing?

And to prove it, I have a PCIe 4x 8-port SATA RAID controller card that has been running perfectly happily in the 16x slot of an Intel Guardfish mobo for over a year.

B/c I didn't believe you.

And didn't know what I was talking about.

That board looks absolutely nasty! I wish they could make a higher quality X58

Hayder_Master · Apr 28, 2009

it is same old UD3 coolers with disable the old SB cooler

Whats the real diffrence between core i5 and core i7 except dualchannel/trichannel memory and socket ?

Core i5 runs P55

None. Well, there is DMI instead of QPI, and.. maybe different clocks for uncore and stuff like that, but the architecture is identical, and i bet the performance [most of the time] will be the same too.

Yep, I do it all the time, my Asus Xonar 1.3 is in a 16x slot running@ 1x.
