Title: Should I use the x1 to x16 hardware trick? Post by: autodidactic on June 21, 2013, 10:19:15 PM I'm thinking about putting five 5870's on an asrock extreme 6 board
Board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157295&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Intel+Motherboards-_-N82E16813157295&gclid=CIL67rCX9rcCFQWk4AodBVcAJA Ribbon: http://compare.ebay.com/like/181151058265?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar My question is will using an x1 to x16 riser cable impact the kh/s i'm getting per card? or just the card that is on the riser. Also should I get a powered? Also can anyone tell me a good cheap board that can handle five cards or is mine it? Title: Re: Should I use the x1 to x16 hardware trick?
