Hi, quick question here:
Will a Mini PCI Express card fit in a larger PCI slot?
I'm trying to buy this USB 3.0 Internal Connector
but I don’t have any more Mini PCI-e slots available on my motherboard.
The only slots I have left are:
• PCI slot
• PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot
• PCI slot
The motherboard I have is the ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3.
I also have this Gigabyte Radeon HD 6950, which is a massive card and takes up a lot of space on my board. In addition, I have this Mini PCIe Wireless Adapter taking up a slot.
Here's a picture of everything so you can get an easy visual:
So, since my GPU is covering up my other Mini PCIe slot (and I can't move it down because it would run into the PSU), I feel like I might be out of luck with the Mini PCIe USB 3.0 Internal Connector that I need. The only solution I can think of is to just buy it and see if it will fit in a regular PCI slot.
Does anyone know if it will?
