Title: PCI to PCIe adapters Post by: Trongersoll on May 24, 2013, 04:39:08 PM Has anyone successfully used these to mine on computers that don't support PCIe? If it works it will give me a chance to add to my mining for the cost of the video cards alone.

Title: Re: PCI to PCIe adapters Post by: notaek on May 26, 2013, 04:14:42 PM Thought they were to expensive to be of any real use. 30 bucks each. Worth it if you are going to high density or don't want to invest in an entirely new rig. Title: Re: PCI to PCIe adapters Post by: laris2 on May 30, 2013, 10:04:31 AM Hi,
These do work for mining sucesefully. And it is worthwhile to invest into these if you have spare ports/power. Since rebuying the CPU/Mobo/Ram/Psu is more expensive than investing 30$ into a adapter! |
