    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.
