FAQ:

Q: Can I plug PCI X1 to x16?

A: @Scandalist Technically yes you can put a x1 in an x16 slot, the extra lanes just won’t be used. However in real life, on some computers it doesn’t work because the manufacterer has made alterations. Rule of thumb tends to be you can put a ‘smaller’ PCIe card into a larger slot – so a x1 will fit in an x16.

Q: What is PCI Express x16 mean?

A: PCI Express x16 means that there are 16 communication channels in the interface between the motherboard and video card. If your motherboard has a PCIx x16 slot, then you can get a PCIx x16 card (best) or any number of channels down to PCIx x1.

Q: What is a PCI Express x16 port?

A: The PCI-E x16 ports, with a theoretical maximum of around 15GBps on the 3.0 revision, are used for almost all modern graphics cards designed by NVIDIA and AMD. Most discrete graphics cards use a full PCI-E x16 slot. RELATED: What Is the M.2 Expansion Slot, and How Can I Use It?

Q: What are PCI video cards?

A: PCI stands for peripheral component interconnect. It is where your video card connects to the motherboard in order to talk to it and transfer information back and forth. A PCI slot can connect other hardware to the motherboard, such as a sound card or capture media card.
