Title: PCI-E 1x to 16x adapter
Post by: Lightspeed on June 10, 2011, 04:11:55 PM
hello everyone,

Where do you get these?

I managed to find this:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PCI-E-PCI-Express-Cable-1X-16X-Riser-Card-1U-2U-/400221987566?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d2f16e2ee

looks pretty sweet to me

is this 100% OK? if so, bring on the 5 GPU system lol

cheers

Youll need to use linux for any system with 5 or more Gpus, also check out Cablesaurus they accept BTC and have pcie x1 to x16 with extra ribbon

I have a system with 4 GPU's... two on x16 and two on x1.

It's working perfect
