QOTW: Do you use any PCIe slot other than primary x16?

WIFI 6 card as the Mobo doesn't support it

Bit late to the party, but the answer is "of course". Using a slot for my sound card. Wouldn't want a PC without one.

Not since I dropped having a separate sound card - No value in one when using decent wireless headset (USB dongle). My son sleeps in room above so no speakers either now!

Have 2 NVMe slots so little need there either and backup to the cloud so no need for extra/faster USB.

Nope (main PC is a Hades Canyon NUC with a eGPU enclosure!)

PCI-E x1 Sound card

[Thorburn]

Yes. i9-10980XE with full complement of X299 PCIe lanes. GPU, 4 X PCIe 3.0 4x M.2 card, Elgato 4K capture card and an older XtremeDVI capture card. Also another M.2 card in the mainboard slot.

[Methanoid]

All of them... 16x(8x) for GPU, 1x for USB3 card, 8x for 2nd GPU, 1x for PCIE-PCI expander, 4x for LSI storage card, 2 extra PCI slots for TV Tuner cards. Maxed out!

[Csokis]

Yes, one PCIe x1 for SATA card with 2xSATA3 (6 Gbit/s) ports.

[Jaffo]

Nope, only card is the GPU.

[raygdunn]

Current build just uses PCIe for graphics card. I bought a micro-ATX mobo, as didn't need anything too fancy.

Previous had firewire (analogue video tape conversion) and a USB3 upgrade card.

Used to have a sound card in but the new boards the onboard sound setup is good enough so no

[Millennium]

Yes, I have a SATA card that provides 2 internal ports since my old mobo only had 4 sata and I needed more. Cheap and just works, I also have a sound card I may put in again at some point.
