Title: Can I use X1 to X16 Riser in a Full x16 Slot?
Post by: sitefive on February 05, 2014, 12:53:44 AM
my motherboard has 3X PCi-e x16 Slots   and 2X pci-e x1 slots.
I want to get 5risers like these, but was wondering can you use these x1 to x16 risers like these in the FULL pci-e x16 slot as well? I know there are x16 to x16 risers but I have heard they are bulky/crap and its trouble buying them..

anyone can confirm that these x1 to x16  works in full x16 slots?

I have it set up exactly as you describe in my rig and it works fine.  Actually I have the X1 rsier in a full X16 slot and another in a full X8 slot.
