I have gtx 1050 and I play Ark so slowing my graphics card is really not an option.

Even if it did reduce the CPU lanes to the graphics card, going from x16 to x8 on a GTX 1050 doesn't affect performance.

 

But as mentioned, the chipset will deliver lanes.

Hello, 

I have Intel i5-4460 and ASRock H81M-HDS R2.0 motherboard. I also have graphics card in my X16 PCIe slot and have X1 PCIe slot empty. I would like to buy a PCIe WiFi adapter but I read in CPU specifications that it only supports 16 PCIe lanes. What would happen if I put PCIe WiFi adapter in that empty X1 slot. Will it slow down my graphics card? I have gtx 1050 and I play Ark so slowing my graphics card is really not an option.

Regards

Nope it will be fine. The Other lane will be provided by the H81 chipset

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?
