    Hi,


    Question 1,

    A PCIe x8 card will physically fit into a PCIe x16 slot, and it will work as expected.

    The extra lanes on the PCIe x16 slot won't cause any issues.

    The card will only use the available 8 lanes and operate at the x8 speed.

    Let me know if further clarification is needed.


    Regards,
