Title: Using PCIe1x Slots with Extenders under a Dual-Slot GPU? Post by: Xer0 on June 14, 2011, 12:13:08 PM Guys, quick question, as i have to order the Rig parts now!
This Board: (cheapest suitable and avaiable there) http://www.abload.de/img/mb_productimage_ga-8703mgy.jpg Can i plug two 5830 or 5870 in the 16x Slots? AND plug 1x -> 16x flexible Extender Adapters from China in the 1x Slots? Or is the GPU covering the whole slot so that nothing would fit?? Title: Re: Using PCIe1x Slots with Extenders under a Dual-Slot GPU? Post by: taris on June 14, 2011, 12:16:04 PM Since these slots are designed for dual graphiccards i guess it will fit.
It might even work with the x1 -> x16 adapter, but beware that you probably won't be able to fit that 3rd card into a computer case (other slots blocking) Title: Re: Using PCIe1x Slots with Extenders under a Dual-Slot GPU?

Title: Re: Using PCIe1x Slots with Extenders under a Dual-Slot GPU? Post by: taris on June 14, 2011, 12:26:43 PM Oh that might be tight. I guess you have more luck with the x1 slot on the right hand side - it probably won't be covered.
Just to make sure i would buy only two graphiccards, the adapter and try it out first. |
