PCIe X1 on PCIe X16 setup
i just discovered something cool today. i was annoyed that gigabyte didn’t consider pcie design. my graphics card hides a tiny pcie slot. thinking i’d search for something fun, i typed “can you fit a small pcie in a big pcie slot?” and got a yes. the pins from a x1 match those of an x16 slot, so it works. that’s strange because i’m generally tech-savvy—i can find info easily by asking questions. yet this simple fact was completely unknown to me. that’s how you learn something new every day.
