Would this work?

[ExecutorKevin]

Basically, In the future, I want to sli my 460 from ocuk.
But, the problem is that th e460 coveres my pcie x1 slot which I could have put an adapter in to make a x16.
I've already bought my motherboard, so would that x1 to x16 adapter fit under my 460 so I could put another 460 in?

Thank you!!

It would work but the bottleneck would be pretty big. Just get a better mobo?!

Lol I've already bought it and opened it, so no point taking it back.
Bottleneck? what do you mean

That's the cheapest mobo you could buy from OcUK that has two PCIe x16

The board does not support SLI!

You would need the 990 chipset:

Lol I don't have one more penny, only have £120 to spend, on a new 460 and a adapter.
but if its an adapter wouldn't the power of the x1 go to the adapter, it wouldn't be lost to interference. sorry but I have absolutely no Idea what I'm talking about here

Lmao I had no idea!!!
Sorry for wasting your time!!
