"only" 8x or worse. Is this really something I should care? Does this affect mining/hashrates or can I just ignore that at all?
Nope, the PCI-E bus speed doesn't affect hashrate for most if not all cryptocoins. That's why many people use x1->x16 risers and still get the full hashrate. As long as the CPU isn't super old, it won't make a difference either, an ancient Core2Duo will be fine.

I'd try changing Primary Graphics from IGFX to PCI-E and disabling Gfx Low Power Mode. Not familiar with the other settings unfortunately but hopefully someone else will chime in. If Windows can't see the card, that implies that the card isn't properly recognized by the board at all so power might indeed be the issue. If so, a server PSU + breakout board and cables is around 50$ and might be the cheapest option besides some Molex->PCI-E cables (those 6-pin connectors on the board are PCI-E, right?).

Also you can always do a CMOS Reset to change BIOS options to their defaults if something gets screwed up.

The very last time you could mine these so called instamine shitcoins was maybe in 2014...2015. So you are about 6 years too late.
Back then you probably had a few dozen or so coins to mine. Most coins were either Scrypt (Litecoin) or SHA256 (Bitcoin) based. You looked at the ANN section of bitcointalk, you saw something with potential and you would go on Suprnova's pool and instamine as many coins as you could.... Then a few hours or the next day it would appear on Poloniex, Cryptsy or Mintpal and you could dump it for maybe 2-3x more profit than mining LTC directly.
Those days are long long gone. Right now I think the easy money in crypto is in DeFI coins and NFTs.
Good times, I miss them. Kinda sad that "no one" releases proper, innovative and fair mineable coins anymore. Lurking the announcement section is useless now and I'm so sick of all those scam tokens released by suspicious people not able to write in second grade english...

Good luck getting your BAT out of the browser into your wallet. Apparently they decided to halt all transactions because of "fraudulent users", whatever that means. See https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/m5usz6/release_channel_12177/gr2c0qn/Also I think their decision to only pay out to verified users was retarded and lame. Especially when you got verified and still can't access most of your BAT. I am surprised that the BAT price is skyrocketing right now. Yes, they have a useable product (browser), but everybody just uses it to earn some BAT. Right now, rewards have also dropped and referral rewards were stopped, so I doubt they will really grow in the future. I used the browser a couple of weeks, but only earned a couple of BAT, so I stopped using it. Furthermore, full KYC required before you can withdraw these...
Apparently BAT was added to some crypto fund which caused the rally, might go even higher. See https://decrypt.co/61753/grayscale-adds-five-crypto-trusts-including-chainlink-filecoinMakes it even worse that I can't access my BAT. Holding all users hostage because the company failed to implement protections is super lame!
