Video Description

Here I explain how to check PCIe version of motherboard and PCie slot you have. Read in Detail How to Identify PCIe Version of Slot ➤ https://pcguide101.com/motherboard/how-to-check-pci-express-slot-version/ This video serves as a comprehensive guide on how to check and identify the version of the PCIe slots on your motherboard. I basically talk about three methods. The third is my recommended and also the most comprehensive method. The first method talks about using a third party software called GPU-Z to identify the PCIe version of motherboard slot. This is great for laptops. The second method talks about how to use physical inspection to identify the PCIe version on the motherboard. The third and the most comprehensive method is a definitive guide on how to read the motherboard technical specsheet for PCIe slot. It also talks about how to identify the make and model of your motherboard so that you can look up its technical specsheet online. This information is great for installing newer PCIe devices such as graphics card or NVMe SSDs.
