Title: A PCIe extender on my ASUS Prime Z270-A Post by: Amstellodamois on February 05, 2018, 02:12:26 PM Assuming you had no space constraint, where would you plug your PCIe extender (https://www.miningavenue.com/fr/pci/69-pci-e-estension-borad-pci-e-to-4-usb.html)?

Angry Chicken did an 11 card RX 580 build on that board and used the 8x slot and 4x slot for the PCI-E expansion cards.

So, the answer is "try it and see for yourself, it might work pretty much anywhere" :)Quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMEXK-ty3mE&feature=youtu.be&t=855 Do I see burnt wood ???Title: Re: A PCIe extender on my ASUS Prime Z270-A Post by: nsummy on February 05, 2018, 03:32:16 PM Top slot, that way you don't have any graphics cards blowing heat on it.

All the cards are blower-style, I'm not too worried about the heat anyway. |
