My question is fairly simple. Can a x4 physical (mechanical component) fit in a x16 PCIe, which is at x4 mode?

Fix for: Does a x4 PCIe mechanical work in a x16 slot in x4 mode?

Low Risk

Yes. The x16 slot is physically bigger than the x4 card and has 4 PCIe lanes available, so the x4 card will fit, and run at full speed.
