I don't have any pci Express x1 on my mother board. Will this adapter plug into a PCI-Express x16 ?

Web resources say that it will work in a slot that is the same size (x1) or physically larger (x16). I would be careful of pin alignment, and it's not something I would recommend.

To the best of my knowledge any pcie can work in any larger sized slot... ie x4 will fit in x8 or x16 so im pretty certain that x1 will fit into any. Your main consideration with this would be the speed of the slot itself, pci has different versions, 1,2,3. Basically what I'm saying is that it should work, it should power and it should read but dependant on your motherboard your speed may be halved. I assure you that you will still get ~100MBps speed from internal hdd to your usb drives. Any further questions or quieries, please respond, glad to help.

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

I THINK the answer is Yes. I had a x1 slot, so it wasn't an issue, but the following seems to confirm my opinion:http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/327359-30-will-card-slotHope that helps - at least a bit.

I plugged it into a x16 port on mine, but it fried a KVM and a USB Audio adapter of mine, so I would advise against getting it to start with.

Replace your motherboard for a Gigabyte motherboard by example. They have PCI-Express x1 ports available in their motherboards. PCI-Express x16 is for video card adapters !

Yes it will work in a pcie 8x or 16x slot The power plug is there because electric signals degrade over distance, and the plug is used to compensate for the distance. It's not required but I would recommend using it

Yes. The PCIe 16x slot will accommodate that card. Make sure your power supply is adequate and has the right number of 6-pin connectors. Use Thermaltake's Power Supply Calculator to make sure you're not under- or over- supplying power to the card.

I do not have that motherboard, so I can not say 100% that it will work. However, that board does have a PCIe (PCI Express) x16 slot which will take a standard PCIe graphics card (which this is), it doesn't matter if it's PCIe v2.0 or PCIe v3.0. Both should work. If you are using the onboard graphics you may need to disable it when you install the EVGA card, that kind of stuff (if necessary) can be done in the BIOS. Good Luck.

yes but you have tu use the 6 pin power adapter conector and don't forget is a PCI Express 2.0

Yes. You have one PCI Express slot, according to the specifications for your computer I found online.

The board supports PCI Express graphics cards via the PCIE 2.0 x16 slots. So as long as there is ample power, either of those cards will work.

Yes, it will work. The video card will cover one of the adjacent PCIe x1 slots. Other than that you should be good to go.

It is a PCI express card. So as long as you have a port for it, it will work.

You'll need a PCIe (PCI Express) 16x slot. PCIe cards are both backwards and forwards compatible, so if you have a PCIe 1.0a or 1.1, or a 3.x or 4.x slot, you should still be able to insert and use the card. The performance may or may not be the same, as some revisions of PCIe standard affect data rates, but basic functionality should remain intact regardless of the version. Compatibility with other components is not guaranteed, so if you still have reservations, check your motherboard's QVL (qualified vendor list), if available, or ask around to see if your specific combination of hardware has been tested.

I believe it is. In the description is says: Designed for the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture...while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing PCI Express motherboards. Under system requirements it says: PCI Express-compliant motherboard with one dual-width x16 graphics slot. Looking at the G41M-VS2 specs (I do not see G41-VS2) it has one PCI Express x16 slot. Looking at the pic of the motherboard it appears there is room for this. I have installed two of these so far (but not on the motherboard you have) and they work great. Just a note, there are two different pics on Amazon. The design I received both times matches the one with the boxy plastic around the fan and covering the card.

Like Rodrigo said, virtually all motherboards that meet the PCI Express 1.0 rating or up will work with this card. Ensure your power supply will have the oomph to run this card.

Not only that, but it will highly boost your system's performance. This card will work with any PCI express slot, but word to the wise, it comes with a weird little cord that looks like trash, that's actually your power cord. You have to plug it into the motherboard AND plug the cord into one of your power supply wires. I spent an hour staring at it, wondering why it wasn't working before i thought to plug that cord in! Hope this helps.

As long as you have 1 PCI Express x16 Slot this card should work. What's more important is that you have at least a 350W power supply. I would recommend a 400W supply.

We are unable to answer compatibility question for certain PC model. If your PC has PCI express x 16 slot and it is PCIE 2.0 standard or higher compliant with minimum 400 watt power supply then it should work. The system you have seems like a slim tower, since this card comes with a pair of low profile bracket, it can be shortened to fit almost all slim tower system. Thanks Copystars Support

You don't actually use a PCI port, just the bracket slot. That port, however, will be useless with the module in place.

I am not familiar with that motherboard, but it should work with any mobo that has a pci express slot
