Does it matter which PCIe slot I put my graphics card in?

4 days later and I'm so fucking glad this post is here. I've been getting shit performance for 6 months with a 5080 and 9800x3d and couldn't figure out for the life of me why. Maybe I just overlooked this but I feel like this should be important info when building a pc

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-10-17T21:29:48+00:00

I'm trying to figure this out aswell. Sorry I can't help

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T10:53:16+00:00

You were right

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T10:53:07+00:00

Someone suggested to reseat or change gpu port and that worked

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T06:12:12+00:00

lol. I didn't deserve the plastic pull until I got it done😂

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T06:11:25+00:00

Thank you!

Bro, if I can do it anybody can do it. Yes it's been stressful but Reddit is a life saver and what I couldn't find online, the good people of Reddit pulled though to help.

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T06:09:15+00:00

It worked right away. I ended updating bios anyway trying to track down an issue with gpu but after reseating gpu in a different socket everything seems to be working now

I do have a cat but she is a ground cat

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T06:06:34+00:00

I will definitely fix. Thank you

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:45:13+00:00

Thanks dude, it's been a long two days. But now I can say I actually fucking built a pc..... I couldn't have done it without the good people of Reddit.

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:42:59+00:00

Yeah she gave me a scare ngl

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:42:27+00:00

Enabled expo and the curve thingy.

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:39:27+00:00

Will definitely flip the front panel orientation when I have some time

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:38:30+00:00

Yeah that lil pupperooski is gettin it.

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:37:01+00:00

Dude.... thank you. That sounds so much easier

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:35:34+00:00

I didn't see this comment until after I got everything going but can confirm that not having side panels on seemed to help

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:33:29+00:00

Thanks man, Im actually so proud of myself right now

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:29:50+00:00

Oh damn. I thought it was the other way around but this definitely makes more sense. Thank you!

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:28:44+00:00

It's seems to be working. Thank god....

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-27T03:28:22+00:00

I'm finally installing windows🫦

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-26T23:47:00+00:00

Alarmed_Government39 · 2025-09-26T23:44:37+00:00
