hello members i have a small question to which is really giving me a headache ...actually i am pursuing to buy an used old generation i3 530 for my HTPC(which is really cheap-CPU+MOBO) with intel motherboard.
i am planning to upgrade it with a dedicated gfx card later and i really don't know about the intel mobo that it has a PCIex16 slot or not. in other words do all lga1156 mobos have PCIex16??
 


Short answer : Yes.

Long answer : there might be a few exceptions, industrial boards maybe, and ITX boards with pci/pci-e x1 instead of X16. But they are too rare to be found.
 


You need to tell which model. But if it's a intel dh57jg mini-itx then yes, it does have PCI-E X16 slot.
