Will this run in a PCI-E x16 slot that is limited to x4 speed? (ex. MSI AM1I) ?

I suppose it would function, though be crippled in terms of performance. As to how much, that's one for Highpoint. I appreciate that it's a relatively inexpensive investment as RAID cards go in order to add on 8 drives to your system. From that standpoint there's still some benefit, but it seems a shame to limit its performance even so. Yeah, for the final word you should try to contact Highpoint (there might be a FAQ). If they say it would work and can provide performance specs then you can decide whether you can live with the performance hit.

Yes it will work. I'm using it in this configuration with 2 Seagate 6TB drive. Seems like you will have full speed up to 4 drives then half of it up to 8 drives.

Yes. One of the two PCI-E x16 expansion slots is 3.0. The other PCI-E x16 expansion slot is 2.0 but runs at x4. The PCI-E x16 expansion slot that's closest to the CPU socket is the 3.0.

If the motherboard has an open PCIe x16 slot this card should work fine. The card is specced to PCIe 3.0 but will run fine in a 2.0 motherboard. You may need to disable the onboard video in the BIOS however.

It will only work in 1x no matter what. You will have a bad gaming experience due to the bottleneck. With that said it is good enough to run a second monitor for a 2d desktop. But in my experience only 2 out of 3 of my motherboards will even recognize the video card on the express extension. And all my boards are Asus

Yes this card is compatible with any pci express slot 1x and above. I have mine plugged into my PCI-express x 16

It will still only operate at the 1x slots speed. 1x can handle 250 MB/sec vs 16x which can handle 4000 MB/sec. This is fine for mining coins because you don't need the bandwidth. For actual gaming though you'd probably want to put your card into the 16x slot and not the 1x slot.

The Certified Servers team appreciates your question. This server has PCI Express slots, however, they are x8, not x16. A standard PCI-E video card requires an X16 slot. Modifications are possible, however, it will void our warranty and the video card will run at half the throughput. Additionally, only some PCI-E video cards are meant to work this way. We do not recommend it.

Yes, it has one PCI x16 slot. You will need full size bracket with your Video card (not low profile).

Hi, Actually you can connect a PCIe card into a slot that has at least the same number of channels it. In other words, a PCIe x1 card slot can operate in a x4, x8 and x16. The only drawback is that the process does not work on a reciprocal basis (eg, you can not connect a PCIe x16 card into a slot x1) due to physical limitations. When you insert a card in a PCIe slot, just use the number of channels that asks the card. According to the manufacturer Available PCI Express based 1.0a compliant slot.

Yes that motherboard appears to have a PCIe x1 slot. That is where you will plug it in. It will work as long as you have a PCIe x1 slot.

This card WILL work fine in any x16 slot or x8 slot even on most desktop pc's. As long as the workstation/desktop motherboard doesn't have limited expansion (like some dell, hp and store-bought systems have) this will work. This card doesn't need a server os or motherboard. Just install the intel drivers for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter or Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter. I have a gigabyte amd desktop system running Windows 7 x64 and I am using this in an x16 slot (speed auto defaults to card speed). Works perfectly fine and the speed is perfectly smooth. Windows 7 x64 even had the driver already. Just plug-n-play. This card WILL work fine in any x16 slot or x8 slot even on most desktop pc's.

The card is limited by the mobo bandwidth as far as speeds go. As you stated Rev2, that is what you will most likely be limited to. It's a 1x form, but will work in a x16 slot as well.

The correct answer is either one....yes, it is a PCI-E X1 card, but it will work in a PCI-E X16 slot (including X8, X4, and of course X1).

If you have Pci-x slot, and you do, it should work just fine..... sure like mine

So long as your board has an available PCI-Express x16 slot (A board that supports AM3+ would appear to be new enough to have at least 1) you should be good to go.

Yes, I am using a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot for it. The card is kind of wide because of the fans, so make sure you have enough room in case.
