Help with gtx 690 PCIe v3.0 x16 (8.0 Gb/s) @ x16 (2.5 Gb/s)

Hey guys i have two questions with a guy i found in internet, he has one gtx 690 and cpu 3930k like me, but

1- in hwinfo his 690 says: PCIe v3.0 x16 (8.0 Gb/s) @ x16 (8 Gb/s) but mine: PCIe v3.0 x16 (8.0 Gb/s) @ x16 (2.5 Gb/s). How can i fix it?

2- His CPU is VID is around 1.361 V, and mine between 0.8 V to 1.1 V, is this normal?

Any ideas?
 
1. U have to make GPU do something, for PCI-e to "kick into" higher gear (ie. PCI-e 3.0 mode).
2. He's probably got fixed Vcore voltage set in UEFI/BIOS (with C1E, EIST, etc. off).
If you're using energy saving options/settings from Intel (mentioned above), dVID will lower/increase with Load on Cores. So it's normal (dVID = Dynamic VID).

I assuming it's actually some kind of glitch on both boards.

The 3930K doesn't support PCIE 3.0, whilst most of the 2011 motherboards do, so I think there's a fairly common glitch that it reports incorrect readings on things like HWInfo and CPU-z/GPU-z.

I've got a 3960X and a GTX690 myself, so I'll check next time I'm on my desktop what mine reports.

The 3930k and 3960X most definitely do support PCI-E 3.0

The GTX 690 runs straight out the box @PCI-E 3.0 on both these CPUs by default.

Other NVidia cards need their hack to turn PCI-E 3.0 on.

AMD cards run @PCI-E 3.0 on these CPUs by default.

I also have a pair of GTX 690s running on a 3960X unfortunately I am not on that PC at the moment.:D

Edit

Here they are running PCI-E 3.0 straight out the box on a 3960X
