pcie x1 pinouts

I need electrical and mechanical data for pcie x1 connector. I have an idea to make a PCB (microphone preamplifier based on OP AMP) and use only +12V and GND pins.

Unfortunately, the PCI-Express specification is controlled by PCI SIG. They'll let you have the spec you want for a mere $3000 (a year). That's their definition of open: "we can't have the rabble looking at our specification". You can probably work it out by checking the pinout and then checking the mechanical drawings for a PCI-Express connector.

If you're just building something for your own use, then it's traditional to heist 5v, 12v, and ground by modifying a disk drive pass-through cable. This one will get you 12 volts and ground or this one will get you 5, 12, and ground.

Thank you Unclemarco, mechanical drawings are what I looking for.
Have a nice day
