Can a pci-e 1x device (like a wireless adapter) go into a pci-e x16 slot?

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

Yes, but not the other way around.

Actually, if I'm not wrong you an do it the other way also. You can have a graphics card in a 1x slot, but it would only perform at 1x. I've seen miners do it

Finally my Santa hat doesn't look out of place

Yes, you are right. It'll only operate in 1x, so it will be bandwidth limited, which luckily miners can get away with since bitcoin mining doesn't require bandwidth, only calculations.
