Title: connecting risers 1x-16x to pci-e 16x slots Post by: somethingfornothing on January 02, 2014, 11:51:35 PM hello,
i'd like to know is it possible to connect 1x(male)-16x(female) powered risers to the motherboard's pci-e 16x slots? if yes, are there any disadvantages comparing to 16x-16x risers?

Planning on ordering some when I get more cards too. Here is the one he uses: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181285248039

Yes, just don't try gaming with it Title: Re: connecting risers 1x-16x to pci-e 16x slots Post by: jenveno on January 03, 2014, 02:25:24 AM ^ righto, yeah it operates as 1x speed PCIE, which is not optimal for gaming, but it will run monitors
