Hi there,

Yes, you should be able to run the Sound Blaster Card it should just fit into one of the PCIeX1 slots on the motherboard.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Don't forget the PCIEx1 card will fit into any free PCIE slot on the motherboard you don't have to use a x1 slot.

No a PCIEX1 will fit into any PCIE slot, a PCIEX4 will fit in any slot X4 size or larger, a PCIEX8 card will fit a PCIEX8 slot or a PCIEX16 slot.etc etc.
