You can put the 1x risers into any PCI-E slot.

yes, you can you don't need the x16 x16 riser, but the performance may suffer when attached to the monitor

Clear enough!

Will connect monitor to another one

Thank you!

the 1x->16x usb riser is the best option, and sould work in 90%+ of motherboards

ps: avoid MSI mobos, particularly the "killer LAN" ones, as they require abnormal drivers tat are a PITA

Ok

Can I put that small 16x:1x riser into the full size 16x PCI slot? Will it work properly?

Do I need a special 16x riser to plug into standard 16x PCI slot in MB? Or I can just use 16x1 USB riser?

It needs to have external power.  Something like this:
