Your cart is empty.This PCIe x1 to PCIe x16 Slot Extension adapter provides enhanced compatibility between motherboards and a variety of PCI Express expansion cards, allowing you to install a PCIe card (x1 - x16) in an x1 slot. The PCI Express x1 to x16 adapter accommodates low profile x2, x4, x8, x12 or x16 PCI Express cards, eliminating the cost and hassle of upgrading a PCIe card or replacing the motherboard for the sake of compatibility.

I needed a way to add a graphics output to an already full server. This allowed me to attach a low profile cheap graphics card to the only 1x slot I had left. Now i have video output when needed on the cheap.

I used this to put a PCIe 2x half height 10G NIC into a PCIe 1x slot on a motherboard with full height case slots. Worked perfectly fine and got full speed. Functionally, it should work great for any half height card even if they have the full 16 lanes on the connector. But since the wiring is only there for the 1 lane, that's all the speed you'll get. But that also leads to one of my criticisms. Since this is really just a PCB and traces, no conversion chips or anything expensive, the price was a bit high. Similar M2 and SATA adapters are usually under $10. The other criticism is that due to the different bracket screw hole locations between full height and half height cards, there's no way to use the half height bracket to stabilize the card. Both the adapter and the half height card just rely on friction to stay in place. The higher price on this adapter would have been fully justified if some sort of adapter had been included to anchor the adapter card in a full height slot that also let the half height card bracket screw on to. For my use, I just used a sheet of kydex and screwed both the adapter and the NIC card to it. Then I cut the end off a full slot blank to attach as a screw anchor point. Looks janky, but anchors it in place well. If you have the need, it functions well as long as you can live with the anchoring / attachment shortcomings.

Kurz und knapp, neue Grafikkarte, blockierte mir den einzig freien PCI-E 16 Slot für meine OPTANE SSD.Adapter verbaut, funktioniert...allerdings schaut das ganze ziemlich fragil aus, keine Ahnung ob es da eine bessere möglichkeit gibt das ganze "stabil" zu befestigen...

I used this to install a mellanox connectx-3 into a x1 slot. I am getting about 5 gbps which is fast enough. The only other option was a USB NIC which I don't think would be as fast or a 2.5G x1 card (definitely slower) then I would have to run cat5e and I prefer fiber. My only gripe is the price. Almost $25 is a lot for something which is basically a x1 riser which you see below $10 all over the place. Minus one star for milking us on the price. So if you want to convert a 10G card to x1 and don't mind being ripped off on price this adapter will work.

Had it running about a week now. So far nothing has caught on fire, despite having a fairly beefy GPU plugged into the thing. GPUz reports that it's happily running at PCIe 4.0 (x1, of course), but since the GPU'ss workload isn't exactly IO-heavy, I've no idea how stable that is.My only complaint is there isn't a good way to mount it to the case, but I'm not sure that would even be possible without interfering with whatever you're plugging into it.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto al fine di poter utilizzare una scheda di espansione silverstone usb 3.1 con pci-e x2 anche su un pci-e x1.Infatti dopo aver montato gli m.2 samsung (che richiedono un pci-e x4) mi erano rimaste solo pci-e x1 sulla mia Asus z97-a e cercavo proprio qualcosa di simile per non dover accantonare componenti che hanno sempre funzionato bene.Il pacco è arrivato nei tempi e ho provato subito a montarlo ma inizialmente non funzionava nel pci-e x1 mentre funzionava perfettamente in uno dei pci-e x16.Ho avuto il sospetto che il pci-e x1 non erogasse una corrente sufficiente e ho provveduto perciò ad alimentare il Silverstone separatamente .Inoltre , al fine di far funzionare il tutto anche su pci-e x1 ho dovuto entrare nel bios della mia Asus Z97-a e andare in Advanced/Onboard devices configuration e selezionando PCIeX1 (in PCI Express slot and M.2)Tutto ha iniziato a funzionare e subito ho testato una sdxc per vedere le prestazioni in scrittura e lettura. In allegato ho postato gli screenshot.Risolto il problema ho notato che l'attacco però risultava piuttosto ballerino in quanto il nuovo spessore rendeva inutilizzabile la piastra di fissaggio in metallo a cabinet e motherboard.Con una fascetta da elettricista ho fermato il tutto anche se il bloccaggio non è ottimale.Se come me avete bisogno di utilizzare schede pci-e x2, x4 o x16 su un piccolo pci-e x1 questo è quello state cercando. Ovviamente è una soluzione un pò ballerina e bisogna adattarsi.

Appareil non fonctionnel. Il est néanmoins possible que cela soit du à un défaut du pilote de la carte (ajout de port USB) introduite sur le socket femelle du PEX1TO162. Donc prudence avant l'achat

It did not meet my needs so I sent it back & got a ASUS STRIX SOAR Sound Card, in stead of trying to get my legacy sound cardto fit in a PCI.E slot,

I already had a graphics card, but only had PCIe 1x slot available. This adapter is exactly what I needed to use the graphics card that I had in the slot that was available.Graphics Card:AMD Radeon HD 6450Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3I actually have it plugged into the x16 slot, but I need the other x1 slots active and to do that on this board the x16 slot can't be in use. So this did the trick without having to upgrade the motherboard yet. Running 4 monitors total now. 1 monitor attached to this card. Using it for productivity / web browsing. I had a 720p video running on it to test and it looked fine.

I tried to use this to replace a video chip that did not have a driver for Win 7 64. It plugged in and the PC found the nvidia 610 video card on boot. Unfortunately I kept receiving "the video driver recovered from an error" whenever the video became saturated. I had to purchase the more expensive adapter card with the outboard power connector to make the issue go away. This does work as advertised but may not be for video applications.

Tengo una placa base con 2 slot PCIe x16, y 3 slot PCIe x1.Con este adaptador, he podido ponerle 2 gráficas AMD en los PCIe x16, y otras 2 gráficas nVidia en los slots PCIe x1.En total, 10 salidas de monitor... ¡y todavía podría poner otra gráfica más!CUIDADO:- El adaptador "eleva" unos 2cm el slot PCIe, así que una gráfica demasiado alta puede no caber en la caja del PC.- No tiene ningún sistema de sujeción, así que una gráfica pesada y/o larga puede literalmente "caer por su propio peso"- La chapa trasera de la gráfica, también queda elevada unos 2cm, lo que hace imposible atornillarla como sería normal.- Si la gráfica tiene algún puerto de salida en esos 2cm, no serán accesibles (puertos HDMI, DP) o la gráfica simplemente no cabrá en la caja (puertos DVI, VGA).

I'm using this card in my Dell XPS 9100 to add a 2nd PCI x16 graphics card (an HIS Radeon HD 5450) to power a third monitor. I had no problems whatsoever with this adapter.Windows 7 x64 Professional detected the new graphics card immediately and the existing ATI driver for my Radeon HD 5600 card worked just fine. Would definitely buy again as needed (although I'd certainly try and get a PC with more x16 slots next time first!)

Expensive, but it works! Used it with a Gigabye 965P-DS3 motherboard and MSI ATI Radeon HD5450/512MB/DDR3. I had to use a low profile bracket in order to screw the card to the case. Doing this will drop the performance of the card considerably. Don't expect to play 3D games or play HD videos. No problems with Windows 7 Aero and dual monitors.
