Hello everyone,
I have a MSI z87-G45 motherboard and Sound Blast Audigy 2 ZS sound card that I was using with my logitech 5.1 surround system on my old rig.
However this new motherboard only has PCIx1 slots and my sound card is a x8, so it doesn't fit.
I know some people have cut the sound card slot off, or cut a groove into the PCIx1 slot to fit it in, but I'm not doing that at all!
Is there some find of riser cable x1 to x8 I can get to fix the problem ,or do I need to get a new soundcard?
If someone could link me to the correct cable as I have no idea which one would be the right one!
Thanks
