stevetang88 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi, I only have a free PCIE slot at 16X on my motherboard, and I understand the wireless adapter requires a free PCIE 1X slot. Will a PCIE 16X slot work as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 , 16x slots are compatible with the adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestaticon Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Be sure to read your MB manual about that too. Sometimes the 16x slots share bandwidth. So when there are two devices in the 16x slots, BOTH run at 8x each. This may affect your video card performance, assuming it is your GPU in the other 16x slot. Just something to consider.
