Hello,
With the holidays coming up quickly, I'm looking for a network card (WiFi), but I'm not sure if it's really possible to put a PCIe x1 (PCI Express x1) into a PCIe x4 (PCI Express x4) slot.
I'm using this motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/fr/Motherboard/GA-F2A88XM-D3H-rev-30#ov
I'm already using the PCIe x16 slot for my graphics card, and it's so big that I don't have access to the PCIe anymore ^^".
Thanks in advance, Wyndax.

Thank you for your response, but that's exactly why I'm asking here because I can't find it on this page ^^
Re
I read: We talk about PCIe ports ×1, ×2, ×4, ×8, ×16, and ×32 to differentiate the ports based on the number of lane connectors they have (respectively 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 maximum lanes). A ×32 port can theoretically achieve a throughput of 8 GB/s, which is 4 times the throughput of AGP1 ports.
A ×16 port, for example, may only be connected to 8 PCIe lanes; it will still need to supply the necessary electrical power for ×16 cards. An extension card ×16 will work on this port (but probably with suboptimal performance), as the PCIe protocol provides for mutual negotiation of the maximum number of lanes supported by both entities in relation. Similarly, a card (for example: ×1) can be connected and will work correctly on a larger port (for example: ×1, ×2, ..., ×32)....
