Title: Did you know.... Post by: Cereberus on July 27, 2017, 08:09:22 PM Do you guys know that even a person which has low end motherboard of 4th Intel generation and onward can do mining up to a professional level. Usually these motherboards costs about 40-50 Euro and contains 1 PCIEX16 and 2 PCIEX1. Many people say you can only use 2 cards here as the card who will fit in the PCIEX16 slot will make one PCIEX1 slot disappear.
Now this is what I learned yesterday as I do help and setup for different people who build mining rigs , I see at one person that he had put a riser PCIEX1 to PCIEX16 even directly to the PCIEX16 slot and was using full slots of the motherboards, making this low price motherboards to contain up to 3 GPU. Maybe many of you miners here don't know that even with your home PC, you just remove the side of your case and can fit up to 3 cards for such motherboards, so I decided to share this info here. Three risers make you three working GPU-s in a low end motherboard. This is to help the home miner, to venture into mining if they like. Title: Re: Did you know....

I bought my last mainboard+cpu for 25 euro (second hand) and they works very fine wlth my 4 rx570 gpus. |
