Hi,
I got an ultra cheap server from ebay for gaming purpose and when I opened the case, I was shocked to only find 8x and 1x pci express slots.
I was disappointed and thought that I couldn't use my graphics card in it but after doing some research I found that it should work.
I was lucky enough to have a board where the end of the 8x slot is open so I could fit my 16x card and it works fine.
I m a bit worried though because if the cards moves a bit, the PCI pins might get misaligned. Would it damage the card and mobo if that happens while the pc is powered on?
Thanks
