Hey Guys, my PCI-E x16 slots are all used but I have a few X1 slots just chillin.
I noticed here, if this is legit, this dude just simply cut off the excess pins on the card:

I won't be chop sawing my card, but I found this adapter here:

Would it work? If so, would u think the extra bandwidth is needed for maximum hashing?
