Title: 7950 vapor-x in pci X1 slot Post by: sameev29 on December 10, 2013, 08:35:37 AM My motherboard is Gigabyte G31:
www.bd.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3135#ov My motherboard has 1 PCI Express x16 slot and 1 PCI Express x1 slot.I will put 1 card in X16 slot and thinking of putting the second one in X1 slot through a pci riser extension cable. I am worried if I put it in X1 slot will I get full hashing power of the card?Need help from people who tried it and knows about this properly.

I was able to run 2 7950s when BTC mining in an undervolted state on a I5-2500k with an Antec Earthwatts 500 :D Title: Re: 7950 vapor-x in pci X1 slot Post by: madcratebuilder on December 12, 2013, 02:42:17 PM You'll have no trouble with power. I have a pair of Sapphire 7950's running now, I use CGM, undervolt, slight OC. Fans at 70% gpu runs 70C and vrm's about 8C higher. The Vaper-X cooling seems to be good for 3-5C vs other 7950's I have used. I have a Thermaltake 850 psu, running a OC'd 8350 under water.
