Well, if you are sure that the second adapter it's failing, and it fail with all transponder, maybe something wrong with the card and, Maybe you can email to TBS support.

A pci-e 1x card (any card) work in pci-e 1x slot, 4x slot, 8xslot and 16x slot. But in same motherboards, the pci-e is shared. For example form user manual of my motherboard GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5

Code: Select All Code

    The PCIEX8 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16_1 slot. When PCIEX8 is populated with a PCI
Express graphics card, the PCIEX16_1 slot will operate at up to x8 mode.
    Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system


I'm actually using tbs cards un pci-e 1x slot and 16x slot without problems.

Best regards.
