How do you guys get GPU's to fit into these X1 slots?

[chaosgs]

Im not sure how its done but I have read on here that some can get an X16 card to fit into a X1 slot. I also have an X1 extender cable to help. I searched for a guide but cant find one.

also you might need to shorten pins on your riser, more explained here:

1x cables are perfectly fine, you just have to cut off the plastic at the back end. A 16x > 1x cable is nothing else than 1x cable with a 16 connector rather than 1x one of the female side, no extra lanes or anything is actually connected. Like someone else said tho, you will probably need to short the detection pins as well.
