GPU at PCIe x16 3.0 @ x1 Speed

v1nz0 · Mar 29, 2020

Hello!

So, my GPU is GeForce GTX 1070 inno3D JET. Its exactly http://www.inno3d.com/products_detail.php?refid=349 this model. Ill give you some photos of the card. I've cleared this mess around pin, but it doesnt help. Also screen from GPU z. I'd like to repair it on my own, since warrianty has expired few months ago.

Forgot to add, other card worked fine on my setup. Also, 2 or more months ago, this card was running worse that it's working now, since i had nearly 70 fps in games. Now i can get some decent fps in some games

Whats the rest of your setup?

Turn on the built in test

You need to clean those pins

v1nz0 · Mar 29, 2020

You mean test in GPUZ? I've tested it several times, fps flowing from 35 to 80, but nothing changes.

<- also this is cleaned, I took pictures before the cleaning

So to be clear, when you hit the test button in gpuz, that value doesn't change?

Have you checked in the bios to see if that slot is, for some odd reason, set that way.

It's missing some capacitors that handle pcie signaling, that is likely the issue.

v1nz0 · Mar 29, 2020

That might be a problem. I assume this should be easy to fix right, i just need to check what kind of caps i need

That's definitely the problem. There are 16 pairs of caps/resistors(I'm not sure which they actually are), one pair for each PCI-E lane. The 2nd pair is missing, so PCI-E lane #2. So the motherboard will only see the card as a PCI-E x1 card.

This question needs to be answered.

No it doesn't. The test button in GPU-Z does not affect PCI-E lane number.

Yeah...ur right.

Sorry that i missed that. Test button doesnt change anything.

Anyway, anyone have any idea what kind of caps I'll have to orded? I'll check the card in few hours, but would be cool to double check on thatr

Great eye, Drag00n!

Iirc mobo lane speed will rise when demand is there

Correct. Hence why someone asked to run the test to make sure. But, since the astute (not I, lol!) caught that the caps are missing just after 2x, it won't read anything but the 1x.

Is this the only PCIe card installed in the system?

Update the motherboard BIOS to the latest version and reset to default configuration.

Clean the PCIe slot, cards' pins, and try another PCIe slot.

This problem is usually caused by dirty/damaged pins.

Until caps are damaged knocked off

I did all of those, i'll follow the caps thing. But only problem now is, I have completely no clue, what kind of caps I need to buy, since they are so small to even see mark :shadedshu:

JalleR · Mar 30, 2020

you need to mesure them, with a https://duckduckgo.com/?q=multimeter&atb=v187-4_k&iax=images&ia=images

If you didnt know how to check the values of the ones that are there, should we really be soldering them on?

Don't get me wrong, I know if I want to be fully sure, I should use multimeter etc. But it's hard to get things now due to corona. So i just asked if anyone have any idea, if not, ill probably give the card to the nearest pc service

Calmmo · Mar 30, 2020

I had a similar issue on x570. Stuck on x8. Reseating/going over all settings etc
All i had to do in the end to fix it was load defaults and save, haven't had the issue since.

That's probably the best idea, hand soldering smd's of that size is a real pain, I typically use hot air for them.

What your looking for is likely 100nF 0603 MLCC 50V/16V, don't think the voltage rating matters in this case.

So theres update - went to pc service, they fixed it, card is working (at least for now)
