It works, I have several of them plugged in 16x slots.

I can confirm, it works. Just watch out to put the 1x riser the right way into the 16x slot.

Great. I noticed the notch matches up so will be sure to align correctly. Thanks for the replies.

I have two PCIe 16x and two PCIe 1x slots on my motherboard and 3 GPU cards. One card is in the primary x16 slot (video output), but it obscures a PCIe 1x slot. Another card is on a 1x>16x riser from the other 1x slot. There is a free 16x slot on the board which works, but the temps are not ideal. Can I plug a 1x riser into the 16x slot for the third card?

I have read that PCIe 1x devices work in 16x slots so expect it will be fine, but don't wish to risk it on expensive hardware so would appreciate any confirmation.
