That means that I can't get power from either one of those locations. I have four 3.5 inch drives populating all four drive bays along with a 2.5 inch SSD in the second optical bay. Right now, my conundrum is powering the USB 3.0 card.
#USB 3 CARD HACKINTOSH INSTALL#
I will also install an external Bluetooth antenna since there seems to be a problem with USB 3.0 to Bluetooth interference with the stock antenna.
#USB 3 CARD HACKINTOSH FOR WINDOWS 10#
I have a maxxed out Mac Pro 4,1 to which I have applied all the upgrades I can think of (dual X5690 processors, RX 580 video card, dual NVME boot drives (one for Catalina and one for Windows 10 Pro), 64GB of RAM, etc. If you can get more than 500 MB/s then you can be sure it's 10 Gb/s.Īre you saying the ASM2142 reports the incorrect USB speed like the ASM1142? Can you show a screenshot of that plus a benchmark? Since we know that some USB controllers like the ASM1142 report 5 Gb/s instead of 10 Gb/s, the only way to make sure is to do a benchmark. Or use a Thunderbolt 3 add-in card for the USB controller. Or put the card in a PCIe 3.0 slot (PCIe expansion box with a PCIe 3.0 backplane or Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion box). The only solution is to use a card that has two controllers and a PCIe 3.0 switch with at least x4 upstream and x2 downstream for the USB controller (four port USB card, or two port USB and two port SATA or whatever). There is no such thing as an x2 card or x2 slot so they have to use a physical x4 card/slot which is electrically x2. The ASM3142 is a PCIe 3.0 x2 device (8 GT/s/lane x 2 lanes x 128b/130b=15.75Gb/s)īut you are putting it in a PCIe 2.0 slot: 5 GT/s/lane x 2 lanes * 8b/10b=8Gb/s ≈ 740 MB/s There is definitely something wrong with this Pardasey card. If anyone who has this card and has a Win machine it would be interesting to see if it runs at x 4 in it. behaved itself and mounted all connected drives it still showed Link Width as x 2. Then another shutdown and RX 580 re-installation.Įven though the Pardesy 3. I managed to fix this with a shutdown plus changing my GPU for a flashed 5770 and a triple chime NVRAM reset-cold boot.

my fans were running at full speed ! and my RX 580 8gb GPU was running at Link Speed 2.5 GT/sec. ?ĮDIT : As mentioned in a previous post here after I had shut down and installed this USB3.1 card and connected an external 3.1 2 bay dock and restarted.
shipping but any refund is always nice unless of course I would have to pay US$17 to ship it back. I will be contacting AliExpress today, I'm not worried about the US$17 I paid for it inc. I worry that there maybe manufacturing defects that could cause damage.
I have since removed it and replaced it with my previous ASM1142 card. In ALL tests it still showed as Link Width x 2. I installed this Pardasey ASM3142 3,1 card in PCIe slots 4, 3 & 2 with nothing connected to it for cold bootup tests. I pulled all my PCI cards out except my RX 580 8gb GPU
