You can use 1x->16x risers just fine.
But if your motherboard won't see gpu's connected into 1x slots you need to short them, its easy.

Hi all,
I've just started building my mining rig, and need to get some risers. I've found a supplier who can provide me with USB powered risers, but I need to know which type to buy.
My board is an Asus P8P67m-Pro which (from the specs) has:
I currently have one Sapphire R9-280X Toxic in the 16x slot, but want to add at least 2 more. Can I just use 1x-16x risers for this, or do I need to match the risers o the slots precisely? And if I use 1x-16x do I need to short anything or mod anything to make it work?
Sorry for such a newb question, but advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rit
