Any pci-e card will work in a pci-e 4x slot.

jksynapse · 01-29-2009, 01:14 AM

Are you sure that any pci-e card will work in pcie 4x slot?
Becasue x4 slot is smaller than the other pci-e card`s.
thank you for the response. Jksynapse

I have an x16 card in my 4x pci-e slot and it works just fine.

jksynapse · 01-30-2009, 12:21 AM

how did you put the card into x4 slot because the x16 card is bigger than the x4 slot??

**emosun** · 01-30-2009, 01:42 AM

I just checked your intel s5000vsa and it does seem to have a diffrent type of pci-e 4x slot. The board doesn't seem to have any good gpu expansion ports except the regular pci slot which is very limited.

**wrench97** · 01-30-2009, 01:51 AM

The board has a 8x slot wired 4x it is not for graphics, more like a raid expansion card slot.

Thank you all for your responses.
I`m in big trouble with this "intel server board s5000vsa"
i bought an x16 to x14 slot adaptor and graphic card "e-GeForce 8800 GT" pcie16x.
i fitted the video card into x16-x14 adapter and inserted in my server board x4 slot and i`ve disabled the ati internal display card when i boot nothing happens just an black screen .
Please help me what can i do for this its very urgent to me.
Sincerely Jksynapse.

Well if the adapter is made to attach to a 14x slot then I would Imagine putting it in a 4x slot wouldn't work.

IF you take it back out you should get the onboard back if not clear the CMOS.
