Does this card fit into a PCI-Ex4 slot? It's the only slot I have open.. if not, can you suggest an equivalent?

This card will not fit as it uses a PCI slot not a PCI-E slot. You want the ASUS Xonar Essence STX model. The difference in names as you see is the "X" after ST. The X designates that it is for PCI-E slots aka PCI-eXpress.

I also have this problem, need to buy the model Asus Essence STX (for PCI-EX4 slot), now I try the PCI to pCI EXpree adaptor

All PCI are backward compatible, but not all PCI have the same configuration slots. I might be too sleepy, but if it's what I think you are talking about then no. Here's a PCI-E one of the same card.ASUS Xonar Essence STX - sound card (XONARESSENCESTX) -

No it won't fit this is only for a PCI slot, you need the ASUS Xonar Essence STX (note the X at the end)

It would work. Buy PCI express 3.0 if you can afford it. I don't have 3.0 however and the card still screams.

The card performs at PCIe 2.0 speeds only, but it will work in slots that support PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 (x8 or x16)

Yes. Your motherboard comes with a PCI Express 3.0 slot, so this card should work fine on it, but since you have to open the case to insert it, I would double check on the space needed inside it, before purchasing. This card will take over two expansion covers on the case, therefore rendering unusable the adjacent slot. whichever this may be.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. This will work in any full size system that has a PCI-E slot on it. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

yes, this card plugs into a pci-express x16 slot. the only problem you may run into is the physical size of the card, it may be a tight squeeze on your mobo.

Yes, all PCI x slots are compatible with one another. The slot ultimately controls the speed though, so it won't perform as quickly as it could. But honestly, you won't be able to tell the difference.Also, the other commenter may have just had a bad experience. This card is fantastic and I've never had a single issue.

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.

This card will only fit into a PCIe slot (PCIe 1, PCIe 4, or even PCIe 16). It simply will not work with the older PCI architecture

Looking at the model specifications, it seems the only free slot you have available is a pci-e (express) slot. That's no problem though, here's an example of one with the correct interface: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166019&Tpk=rosewill%20rc%20411

Yes, it will fit into the PCI express slot on that motherboard (mobo). This card is long and that is a micro ATX board (a smaller sized motherboard). You will want to make sure that the card will fit in whatever case you are buying, because there is a very real possibility that the case will be too small, despite the fact that the mobo has the proper PCI slot.

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, this card requires an open PCIe X16 slot. As long as they are following IEEE standards (which if they were not, nothing would work for this motherboard), it should be fine.

I installed in a full tower,so I cant answer for sure. The card is not bigger than my motherboard. I would suggest taking the dimensions given and measure how much room you have in your case.

No, it's not proper for PCI Express cards. It only fits regular 32-bit PCI slots.

PCI Express x16 interface so check on ur manual or online to see if you have that slot.

The card is a PCI-e 3.0, but like all PCIe 3.0 GPUs, it is compatible with a 2.0 slot on a motherboard. You just don't get the advantage of the faster speeds offered by 3.0
