Search for a passive PCIe riser card for Intel Core i5/i7 CPU's to split one x16 slot into two x8

Hi, according data specs regarding PCIe configuration of e.g. Intel Core i5-660 it should be possible to use a passive PCIe riser card to split an existing x16 PCIe slot (directly connected to the CPU PCIe root hub) of a mini-itx into two x8 PCIe slots. We are searching for such a passive PCIe riser card and hope some of you knows a manufacturer and type of such a card. regards, dierk
