How do i get a PCI component for my PC

infinity_g · Mar 4, 2014

My computer only has 2 standard PCI ports install on the motherboard and im trying to get a

PCIe-x16 for my computer but cannot find where to buy it anywhere. I have someone who will

install it for me if i can get that one piece. Unless there is a way to get a graphics card for a

standard PCI port.Im about to break down and just get a new motherboard that will work with my

CPU but they run on a high price still...

That is what you will have to do. PCI slots are an integral part of your motherboard, you can't just add and remove them at will. If your motherboard is that old, I really don't see the use of upgrading to a new graphics card. AGP slots where common in times of single core CPUs.

the motherboard is only 3 yrs old. and the only graphic is the built in VGA port. the tower is a custom build that WTI students built from scratch and used as the primary computer for everything

A 3 year old motherboard should have a PCI-E slot. I surmise you are actually confusing something about the terminology. What motherboard do you have?

infinity_g · Mar 6, 2014

here ia a link to what it loks like but i am missing the PCI-E components that are for a graphic card

An 1155 socket board without PCI-E would be almost unheard of.

Picture?

OnkelCannabia · Mar 6, 2014

infinity_g :

The black connector in that picture should be PCI-E x16. Are you saying, your motherboard only has the white ones? It really doesn't make much sense to me. Unless you got a broken motherboard where somebody ripped it just out. Without a picture we can really just guess. As I and smeezekitty have said, your motherboard should most definitely have PCI-E x16

infinity_g · Mar 6, 2014

i do not have ether of the black connectors. they were never installed on the motherboard that is why im trying to get the part so i can have it installed. ill post a picture of the motherboard when i can though so can see

It should have, never heard of something like this.
Even if you buy a port(which is impossible in itself) you'll not be able to attach it to the motherboard. The ports come soldered in.

cst1992 · Mar 6, 2014

However, there's something known as a PCI - PCI-e riser but the PCI port just doesn't have that much bandwidth.
PCI ports have somewhere around 500MB/s bandwidth whereas PCI-e x16 ports have > 8GB/s bandwidth. Assuming the card works, you'll not get performance anywhere near what it's capable of.

cst1992 :

You can technically buy a port (http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/FCI/10018783-10113TLF/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtWxQ3D3EXBN2S0aBX4psSlpxHiwJt%2f%252bdg%3d)
But it would be very very difficult to solder, and there would be no guarantee that it would actually have the circuits needed to make it work

Two words: noob nightmare.

here are the pictures i just took of the motherboard

smeezekitty · Mar 6, 2014

Well crud I have never seen anything like that. Ridiculous not to have PCI-E

infinity_g · Mar 6, 2014

i have this list here for a new motherboard and looking for the cheapest one i can find since i wont be able to get a graphics card for this motherboard

http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Pentium_Dual-Core/E2180_motherboards.html

i need something that will work with my CPU since i cannot afford a new computer.. idk if i would be able to afford the motherboard even but need it for work.. job requires me to use a dual monitor system...

smeezekitty · Mar 6, 2014

Wait is your CPU socket 775 or 1155?

infinity_g · Mar 6, 2014

LGA775

found these 2 which would be better to use

this is the full specs for my CPU

smeezekitty · Mar 6, 2014

infinity_g :

The first is better because it uses a newer G41 chipset. But the second site
has some G31/G41 based boards too. Note they are refurbished

infinity_g · Mar 6, 2014

Raptor R500

input AC115/230V- 60/50Hz 10/5A
output- +3.3V | +5V | +12V1 | +12v2 | -12V | +5Vsb
Max.A 22A | 15A | 19A | 19A | 0.3A | 2.0A
combined 130W | 384W | |
total 500W

hope this is what you are looking for

infinity_g · Mar 6, 2014
