Modifying a x8 PCIE slot to take a x16 GPU! I fixed my servers jank install.
I decided it was time to fix my unraid servers GPU install. Originally I just shoved everything in with a PCIE ribbon extender. Although it worked fine, it was just wrong, and it did not allow any additional cards to be installed. Dremel to the rescue!
WARNING: You could easily mess up your slot, or motherboard. Do these modifications at your own risk. A better method may have been to use the grinder bit for the whole job. This would have helped to avoid damaging the pcb.
