Hello,
First of all I'm sorry in advance if this was asked before but I could not find anything that really clarifies my question.
I have a Asus ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO (WI-FI) ATX LGA1151 which I need to add a USB 3.0 Expansion Card with 15-Pin SATA Power. Based on the two images below (Layout and PCIe Operation Mode) I would like to know if is safe to install the USB 3.0 Expansion Card in the the PCIe 3.0 x1_1 since I have my VGA already installed in the PCIe 3.0 x16_1 or if I should install in another slot. The reason I want to install it in there it's because I would be able to use an existing SATA Power cable instead of using another one.
Thanks in advance,
Johnny
