Awww yissss, got a total speed demon SFF card, HD6450 with 800Mhz RAM 🤣 ... yet another "throw in" on another deal. That seems to be #1 way I am getting HD6450s... where an older selection of parts is concerned, it's Rage 128s, go back to 2/3/486 stuff and it's Trident 8900s.... anyhooooo, that will be a $10 SFF system passoff to friends and fam card most likely, well maybe not, it might displace the tester, and that one goes.
Something I should have mentioned in among the 1x stuff, is that 1x interfaces supply a very minimal amount of power and the card has to ask for more, so if card won't wake up on that and say "feed me" then it will seem dead, no video, maybe POST fail if there's no onboard. So yah, if you are determined to use that card, on a 1x slot, broken out or otherwise, then you might get on better with a powered "mining header" which has ancillary power connector on it.
