 Yes, a single-lane PCI-E (x1) card can be inserted into a multi-lane slot (PCI-E x4, PCI-E x8, etc.), but may not fit into a smaller PCI-E slot (e.g. a PCI-E x16 card in a x8 slot). However, some motherboards have PCI-E slots that use open-ended sockets to permit physically longer PCI-E cards to work. An example is an x1 slot that allows for all x1, x2, x4 , x8 or x16 cards, even though it would run at only x1 speed. Yes, a single-lane PCI-E (x1) card can be inserted into a multi-lane slot (PCI-E x4, PCI-E x8, etc.), but may not fit into a smaller PCI-E slot (e.g. a PCI-E x16 card in a x8 slot).

-The power supply unit can be counted on to deliver sufficient power without any difficulties. You will only need to double-check whether the video card will fit in the case. Cards with a dual fan system (dual-slot cards, or cards with an exceptionally large fan) may just be too large. The only exception are the P/P2/H7/J1/J2/J3-Series chassis types.

 Note: The P-Series requires the fan-duct to be removed in order to support a long-length VGA card. Burn-in tests without fan-duct have proven that the machine's thermal performance will not be affected. Note: The P-Series requires the fan-duct to be removed in order to support a long-length VGA card.
