If one PCI-E slot is missing, than the other does not work?

[Aquinus]

something like You _expletive_ ing _expletive_ how _expletive_ can you _expletive_ be ????

Pretty sure that sums up my first infraction.

 

[OneMoar]

I got enough going on telling some _expletive_ing _expletive_ on tpu how _expletive_ly they fubarded something and getting imaginary internet wrist slap is the least my my lifes issues right now

 

[kn00tcn]

why be so quick to think something burnt out, did anyone consider the fact that the mobo is expecting a (or lack of a) signal coming from the slot? if the bios has no disable slot1 option, then maybe it thinks something is wrong (or maybe the traces of the next slot go through the first)

artas, you havent answered the important question... did you manage to remove the slot from the card afterwards!?

I lied, it took being a poly-drug user to keep my mouth shut.

Seriously though, who does that? I mean, I understand kicking and old eMachine for being garbage but, ripping a dGPU out of a PCI-E slot? Someone needs to chill out.

we have all had peg clips be a little stubborn but dam serious case of PEBKAC Here
open mockery aside the board is now beyond fubar and as newtekie pointed out there is a fair chance the cpu has bought it as well all he can do is clean the damaged area up again and make sure none of the exposed traces are shorted and cover the damaged area with nailpolish or hotglue

assuming the cpu has bought it : option 3 is to register for the intel tuning protection plan wait 90 days and then request a replacement
tho its likely to late for that as your only eligible for a year after you bought your proc

And I thought I'd seen a lot before....

If you have a microcenter near you, their warranty is better since its for the term of the contract where Intels is a one time replacement iirc.

those bums (god bless the store i love it) as of my last experience, use ink on theyre receipts that fades after about a year..i store my receipts in a folder, and they are Never touched, moved, or rubbed against, and still about a year or so after a purchase, the ink is Close to completely invisible...Me thinks it be a conspiracy

this ones a good one...naked jean luc

Omg what the JLP?

Back in the Day of Fax machines
You Remember them well i think if i remember right they printed with a Light Reacting paper ( and low power laser )
To Preserve them you Sprayed the "printed paper " with a Aerosol Plastic which locked print to paper ans stopped them fadeing with age that Spray also worked with till printed receipts
Think its Exposure to the Atmosphere and light what causes them to Fade

Spraying with that Spray Saved my RMA Bacon a Few times ( woman's hair Spray lacquer also works )

Are you male or female with legs?

Is this someones first time on the internet?

But now we have smartphones, so take a pic and put down the Aqua Net Super Hold! Who remembers that stuff?

You can go buy a Z97 Gaming 5, a better board, from newegg today for $120.

with a $20 MIR until 11/9/16.

Just because it seems to be working fine, doesn't mean you haven't fried the PCI-E controller built into the CPU. Until you put that CPU in a new motherboard, and test to make sure the PCI-E slots work, you don't know.

You're original question was why the 2nd slot wouldn't work just because the first was missing. And the answer is you very likely fried the PCI-E controller on the CPU, so any computer you put that CPU in will not have functioning PCI-E x16 slots. The PCI-E x16 slots on the motherboard are connect directly to the CPU. That's how it works.

It was a scary logical thought, but fortunately it proved to be wrong. I have replaced Z97 Gaming 3 with a spare Z97 PC Mate and my video card GTX780 Ti works fine again, so the CPU is ok also.

why be so quick to think something burnt out, did anyone consider the fact that the mobo is expecting a (or lack of a) signal coming from the slot? if the bios has no disable slot1 option, then maybe it thinks something is wrong (or maybe the traces of the next slot go through the first)

artas, you havent answered the important question... did you manage to remove the slot from the card afterwards!?

So it did not. What about that explanation of yours? My original question remains sorta unanswered. Having shocked everyone with my barbaric actions i now suggest settling down the face palms and think a bit more to the point. PCI-E pins all connect to two parallel wires, those are grounded at one end each, so i hardy believe i could have fried the motherboard or processor just by shorting two pins, those had something like 1.2V between them... Voltage to the PCI-E slot was delivered from the motherboard, and therefore it was low voltage powered.

Good, I'm glad you got lucky.

 

[Artas1984]

Good, I'm glad you got lucky.

Your original thought was not just a speculation, since north-bridge since Nehalem days is installed directly into CPU, it could have been a damaged outcome had the voltage been delivered from the 12V PCI-E PSU rail (though hard to imagine how you had to bend the slot with VGA installed to shorten the pins), rather than 1.2V motherboard integral.

You guys know you can put the slots back on after pulling them off right?

Solder paste plus new slot then bake the board? Is that what your hinting at?
