Ughhh never mind I'm dumb... fixed now

I've an old desktop with this motherboard

ASUS P8H67-M LE Rev 3.0, Sockel 1155, mATX, DDR3

I only have 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16

IS there any way around this? I have a second graphics card I'd like to put in. Will I just have to get another MB?

Are you looking for SLI/Crossfire of 2 matching cards for gaming or just add a second card to drive more monitors?
If for gaming, you need a new motherboard.
If you're looking to just drive more monitors, you can notch out the back of the PCI Express 1x slot, if its not already open, and run the card on a 1 lane connector.
What video cards and PSU are you trying to use? With a typical mATX PC setup, adding a second card may draw too much power and overload your PSU.
There are also a number of low power cards that have a native PCI E 1x slot, if you're open to buying a card to meet the need.

Thanks for the reply. Just trying to drive more monitors, I've Matrox M9140 installed, and I've a second one if I can find a way to connect it.

I've a Seasonic S12II-430 Bronze, 430 Watt PSU. I can't find the requirements for the Matrox, but it's passive and meant to be low power consumption.

I just need something like this as a connector?

Your PSU should probably be fine given the passive cooling on your cards indicates fairly low power draw.

Theoretically you can just use an X-Acto knife or rotary tool to carefully cut out the plastic at the back of the 1x slot.

For roughly the price of that adapter, you can buy a native 1x interface card (of course, your local pricing may vary a bit)

Update: This is happening only when I'm surfing on The Drudge Report which I suppose I will stop doing.

Should i get a 4K monitor to grind around 15 tables or a 1440p is enough ?

lol 15 tabling in 2018

I assume you're wanting to tile them all, if you're stacking this isn't a question - you can't just look at the resolution (you can get 4k laptops which is ******ed) but at the monitor size as well. Or even if you're running multiple monitors, I'd have thought a couple of 24"s with nine per table would work well.

Just noticed Paulys next post will be his 2000th. Would like to congratulate him on making 2000 posts without ever making a single contribution to this forum and asking pointless questions on each and every post.

Well done Pauly its quite a achievement.

Hey all. Have an asus monitor that no suddenly went out and won't turn back on. Few years ago i got this monitor and it worked for a while. Then after a power outage, it stopped working. Brought it to repair shop and they told me it no longer works.


Then recently i tried the monitor and connected it to outlet and strangely enough it worked. But recently it went out. Is there a way to be sure a monitor is 100 percent no good? A while back when this happened, i was going to toss it away but never did. But when it worked again, it was great but it did not last long. My monitor is asus vs24ah-p. Anyone with an asus could tell me what i can do here?


When i connected it to laptop, strangely enough it recognized the monitor. But i assume if you connect it via hdmi to hdmi, it always does this? So could this be broken fuse or something with the backlight etc? Again, i dont know much about monitors.
