Asrock 970 extreme 3 query

hi I recently in the last couple of days built up rig for my boy with a motherboard I had dormant in my cupboard and fx6300, its a asrock 970 extreme 3 (v1)
now the problem ive got it that in cpuz the mainboard section, the link width for the pci is at x8, I have tried multiple gfx cards in the top pci-e slot which should be x16, but no matter what stays at x8 at idle and underload, bios is highest revision, cant see anything in the bios to change regarding the pci-e, so I am at a loss why this can be, anyone any ideas how to troubleshoot this problem??
tried re-seating the card,no change, transferred card to second pci-e which shows then as x4 as it states in the user manual it should , but slot 1 doesn't change from x8
I do have this stable overclock at 4.2, but this has no bearing on this issue, as at stock sppeds still reports x8
