Hello, so this is my situation... I have a asus z87-plus motherboard with three PCI spots left, and I wan't to connect a PCIe 1x into them and they are all either 2.0 16x or 3.0 16x I believe, so my question are can I connect the PCIe 1x into them WITHOUT any trouble or loosing of performance/power. I know that they can connect from other threads but they were vague on whether or not I loose anything from it, One source told me it depends on motherboard so i thought i'd ask you here before i contacted Asus. Also be aware that my computer knowledge isn't top notch so some of the information about the PCIe might be wrong. ^^
The PCIe 1x i wanna connect:
