1) Mechanical Lane requirement: the type of PCIe slot required by the card “x8 x16”

16x is physical slot size, that is capable of wiring up to 16 PCIe lanes, but on your motherboard that slot has only 4 lanes connected to it

pcie slot width The smallest PCIe slot will run at x1 speed, while a full-size PCIe slot will run at x16 PCIe x16 slots are generally intended for use with Graphics Cards

pciex16 slot configuration You can install PCI Express slots in larger slots but not smaller ones For example, you can install a PCI Express x1 adapter into an x16 slot (but will still
