Basically any pcie device used with this adapter will be reduce to a single pcie channel. Basically if the device even works, it will be at a reduced speed. I hope that all makes sense. **Q: can this be used for a gaming laptop?** A: No. There isn't enough room in a laptop for the board. **Q: Would this fit Into a Dell optiplex 745 desktop** A: The StarTech.com PCIe X1 to PCIe X16 will fit in any desktop computer with an available PCIe X1 slot; however, be aware that if you have a graphics card that has a big cooling shroud, I would recommend to move the graphics card to another PCIe X16 slot on the motherboard. In addition, I would keep in mind that this adopter is about 1inch high and installing any card in it, could be a bit taller for some cards. **Q: Will a low-profile slot bracket fit as if it was a full height bracket with this adapter?** A: Yes ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com PCI Express X1 to X16 Low Profile Slot Extension Adapter - PCIe x1 to x16 Adapter, TAA (PEX1TO162) - chenyang PCI-E Express x1 to x16 Riser Card Extender Converter Adapter Male to Female Extension for Graphics Card - cablecc PCI-E Express 1x to 16x Male to Female Extender Converter Riser Card Adapter Extension for Graphics Card --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/3258951-startech-pci-express-x1-to-x16-low-profile-extension-adapter](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/3258951-startech-pci-express-x1-to-x16-low-profile-extension-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
