Modifying a PCI Express X16 video card to be a PCI Express X1 video card is not a new idea. You can do a web search for other people who have done this before me. I'm just showing you how I modded mine.

Disclaimer: This will void the warranty on your video card, and could destroy your video card. I take no responsibility if you mess up anything or injure yourself or others. And I make no guarantees that your card will function even if you correctly perform the mod.
