Designing a pcie board
« on: June 02, 2013, 10:38:42 am »
Hi all,

Running Altium 10 and I would like to build a pcie board. I assume there is a template. Not sure where to begin as I never have designed a pcie board before. Wheres the crash course on this ? I need to know what I don't know  :(

its not all that bad, Asus had a product with PCIE GPU connected with almost a meter worth of cable.
Its as "critical" as SATA is.
