Last time, we looked over diffpairs, their basics, routing rules and the notorious tolerances of PCIe when it comes to diffpairs. Now, let’s take a look at the exact signals that make PCIe tick, as ...

You might have heard the term “bifurcation” if you’ve been around PCIe, especially in mining or PC tinkering communities. This is splitting a PCIe slot into multiple PCIe links, and as you can imagine ...

Orinda Calif. Furaxa Inc. announced its PCIeExt16HOT PCI Express (PCIe) live-insertion bus extender board which, when installed in any PCIe x16 motherboard socket, facilitates fast production testing ...

The PCIeExt16HOT Smart PCI Express live-insertion bus extender board facilitates fast production testing and engineering debug of PCI Epress boards of all data widths (x16, x8, x4, x2, and x1). The ...

So in theory PCI-e is backwards compatible, i.e. that if it fits physically, it'll run electronically. In reality, we hear stories all the time about the x16 slots not working for anything other than ...

I love this 16x, four-port, full-speed M.2/NVMe PCIe 5.0 card — for auxiliary storage. Its individual x4 slots are faster than most motherboard NVMe M.2 and it’s three to four times as fast in RAID 0 ...

My system has two PCI-e slots, one x16 and one x1. Unfortunately, as most motherboard designers do, they put them right next to each other, and naturally the x1 slot is made inaccessible by the ...
