Title: Fried my Mobo - Z77A-GD65 - Can anyone identify what i've cooked? Post by: SeaEagle on September 24, 2013, 11:28:23 AM Gday fellas
Was adding two 1x extenders to my rig today, turned it on and *snap crackle pop* *burning etc* Fried this part on the mobo (see photo), can anyone identify what it does? http://s17.postimg.org/8zl6c8han/Burnt.jpg Mobo still works, only get onboard graphics output though, no love from the PCI slots. FYI I have 7 cards on this rig, 4 of which are powered. I was adding 1x 1x risers (unpowered) to two of the 1x 16x powered risers. I have done this on another rig with no issues.

Post by: vm1990 on September 24, 2013, 12:12:02 PM its something to do with the PCIe controller, if you look there are always the smae number of chips as there are PCI-e slots (not including PCI slots)
id assume the first one controls the top slot http://archive.benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=817&Itemid=69&limit=1&limitstart=1 scroll down to the image of the chips and yours is there it should say p13pcie which is "a P13PCIE multiplexer/switch chip to reallocate PCI-E lanes" Title: Re: Fried my Mobo - Z77A-GD65 - Can anyone identify what i've cooked?
