Will this card work in my MB so I can use three usb 3.0 ports?

thedudeabides80 · May 29, 2015

I'm trying to get three usb 3.0 ports to work on my computer. My MB is http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00907982 and I would like to use this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815256006
I'm confused over the types of pcie slots, mine is a pciex1 and this says it uses a PCIe Gen2.0 x2. Any info would be helpful, thanks!

The card will work perfectly. PCI slots are cross compatible through different version.

This is from a newegg review...just sayin.

Note that it uses a PCI-E x4 connector. I didn't realize this when I purchased it so I had to put it in a spare 16x slot. Yes you can plug it into a 4x, 8x, or 16x slot.

well I almost thought I had found something. I can find them with a single 20 pin header but not with 2 of them. Kinda hate to leave one port on my case dead.

Don't worry thedudeabides80. The card will work just fine. There should not be any compatibility issues with it.

It will not fit in his slot!

You need a pcie 1x card...

Since you don't have PCIe version 2, your bandwidth will be half of the advertised 10Gbps bandwidth if it works at all. You will also need to use the card in the graphics card slot and use the onboard integrated graphics.
