Title: Is this a Mobo killer? Post by: HashZilla on October 15, 2016, 03:57:00 AM I had a lousy couple days trying to get a miner running, both ending with non-responsive main board. I was thinking maybe a power supply issue but it worked with another (3rd) main board, with the exception of the peripheral (Molex) output. However the power supply has a single 12v rail and all the other 12V accessories worked. Then I saw this PCI-e Riser with what looks like a solder blob across the four square traces. Does this look capable of killing a MB? http://i65.tinypic.com/2954dig.jpg Here is another riser from the same order. http://i67.tinypic.com/bln9x.jpg Title: Re: Is this a Mobo killer?

Thats why you have to once over these cheap chinese risers.
