It's unlikely to work, the speeds that pci-e operates at requires all the wire lengths to be almost perfectly.

Although if wired correctly it shouldn't damage your system so no reason not to try, just might not work.

Try eBay for a cheap adaptor, often with free or cheap shipping.

and then make the pci-e 2 x1 to mini pci-e?

you will need to make sure that the wires are wired properly but I don't thin it will work

"DIY" and precision protocols like PCIe don't mix. A riser card or adapter is not expensive in the grand scheme of things - I think Startech has one for $36 on Newegg (US) right now.

wtf 36$? for a wire adapter?

but i cant buy from amazon or any of these stores. i live in estonia and shipping cost is like 70 fucking $. so only local stores for me. but why cant i just wire the 2 connectors together to make an adapter? ive seen people do it without any compoments exept wire and connectors. but i just need the scheme.

Capacitance in the wires will probably prevent it from working, You'll need a PCB (to plug into the mini pci express slot) and flexible flat cable to minimize capacitance. If you don't have the equipment to make your own PCB's and handle FFC then it's lots cheaper to just buy a adapter.

 

If you do have the equipment - A simple google search on "mini pci express pinout" and "pci express pinout" returns lots of usable hits.
