I have a mother board with only PCIe slots. I need to plug in a PCI board I have in stock. I know that the PCIe version of this board is 1X.

There exist some PCI to PCIe bridges like this one. But it is not compatible with the bracket of my board. The problem is that it makes it higher.

I am alright to use a flat wire but I have them to find a solution to fix the board in the PC.

Most of all, the bridge needs to be Linux compatible. Precisely, I use AlmaLinux 8.6.

Does someone can recommend me an appropriate bridge?

You can just plug that right into the PCIe slot without any worries. You don't need anything special, and molex connectors are the last thing I would use for power.

It might look a little goofy but it should work just fine without anything extra, I could be misunderstanding what you're asking but as long as I've tinkered with PCs it should plug into the slot regardless if its x1
