Crosshair Hero VIII PCIE problem

[fredepf]

Is bios version 1302 the only one you have used? At this point in time there is no game that can saturate PCIE Gen 3.0 at 16X moreover PCIE Gen 4.0 at 16x.
It could be a case where the bios has not matured to that level. Nevertheless, it is about 1 year since the X570 motherboards have been released. Asus Tech needs to get their act together. I hope it will work eventually.

Best Regards,

Yes the bios is 1302 . i think is the bios problem . i know it does not have impac on the perf but i want to kno why.
I will check the psu but it's the same in the other computer.
Maybe it's bios issue but a this price asus should do something whit the bios cause it's bad imo.

Thanks for your help

Have you tried any of the other PCIEx16 slots on your board? The 1302 bios is the most stable bios so I doubt it's that. If the video card works in your other slots you might have a faulty PCIE slot. But if you've RMA'd the board and it's still an issue. Most likely it's not the board. That leaves 3 possible issues:
1. Human error, are you sure you're mounting it correctly?
2. Other faulty hardware.
3. Software.
When you turn your PC on does the GPU power up? Did your GPU always have this issue or is it something new with this board/bios version? If you turn your PC on and your GPU powers up but doesn't display anything, it could be your drivers crashing your GPU.

OP
(1) How do you determine a loss of x16 to x8 ?
(2) Can you show us why this even matters ?

I doubt your card could soak all of x8 PCIe gen4 bandwidth in any case.

In the Bios it sowh Native 8X
GPUZ Show it can work at PCIE 4.0 16x but run at PCIE 4.0 8X
Even The Radeon Software show same thing.

I know i don't lost Perf but i want to find what is the problem.

Thanks

In the latest BIOS did you reset to default setup / clear the bios and manually reenter any data ?
Do you have both EATX connectors (top left of CPU) connected ?
Have you checked every connector is properly connected to the motherboard - fully seated ?
What happens when you set AUTO - still get x8 ?

Also, what is actual RAM and version number ?
Have you tried it set default speed or running XMP speed or do you have manual / custom settings and if so what ?

In windows, have you installed the latest chipset drivers from AMD ?

What version of windows are you running, use {CMD} and then {VER} to get exact version number and post it.

Hope you find this helpful, trying to understand all the missing information and check for anything that might cuase issue.

Thank you for the information. From it, I see, a thing left that maybe a long shot or nothing as well, anyway your ram
CMW32GX4M4K3733C17 is not on the QVL for memory for both Asus website for CH8 or AMD for Ryzen 3 series

There are four modules, perhaps lets try 2 (in second and fourth slot from CPU) and see if this changes anything and if this does not work, let's try not running DOCP just default and see if this changes anything.

If the above test fails to fix, then I would try borrowing another graphics card to see the issue is there, and
from the information given, I'm all out of ideas if this does not resolve the issue or pinpoint the source for you.
