    Posted: 20 Aug 2019 at 12:24pm
I'm having issues getting a network card working in slot 5 of my x570 Taichi. In that slot Windows 10 doesn't detect it at all. If I move it to PCIE_1 and my video card to PCIE_3 then it works fine, but that isn't optimal as it forces my GPU to run in x8 mode. If I want the GPU to run in x16 then it has to be in slot 1 with slot 3 empty, so the network card has to be in slot 5.

I only have one nvme drive in M2_1 so PCIE_5 should be working, but plugging it into that slot makes it disappear from Windows. Is there some setting somewhere that I need to flip to enable that PCIE slot?

PCIE_5 is for 4 PCIe lanes.
Maybe you have to configure/enable the slot in the bios.

BTW:
If your network card has 8 pcie lanes, there is no other way as using PCIE1 and PCIE3 in 8-8 mode.

It's definitely an x4 card. How do you manually enable the slot? I was poking around the BIOS but I couldn't find anything like that. The closest I found was the "AMD PBS" section under Advanced which lets you set the PCI Gen, which I've tried to set to 3.0 manually but didn't make a difference.

I don't know your bios, i have a Fatal1ty X370 Pro Gaming.
In another forum someone is running a Thunderbolt 3 Controller (PCIe 3.0 x4) in PCIE_5 with a ASRock X570 Taichi/Phantom Gaming X.
