So, um, I just bought Asus H81M-C, then I found out that the second PCIe x1 slot look like this
(look at PCIEX1_2, and you need to zoom it)

Is it possible to put any PCIe x16 gpu/soundcard/wlancard in that slot? Thanks!

No, graphic cards today must allocate 16 PCIE lanes (PCIE x16). X16 cards will not fit in X1 slot. Instead, you can put X1, X4 and X8 cards in a X16 slot which are backwards compatible.

I wouldn't install a GPU in that open X1 slot, but it could be used for other cards as long as they work in a X1 slot.
