Title: Re: Risers with molex Post by: vpasic on January 05, 2014, 12:38:41 PM Always use powered risers!!!
Especially for more than 2 gpu-s on single mobo! Title: Re: Risers with molex Post by: repairguy on January 05, 2014, 12:50:51 PM Always use powered risers!!! Especially for more than 2 gpu-s on single mobo! I know it is easier to tell people that they always need powered risers, but it isn't true. I have had 6 gpu rigs running for several months with no risers, no voltage drop and no problems.

I know it is easier to tell people that they always need powered risers, but it isn't true. I have had 6 gpu rigs running for several months with no risers, no voltage drop and no problems. it's not easier to tell people it's safer for mobo! you can burn mobo with more than 2 gpu-s running without powered risers. I wonder how much longer will work that mobo of yours. and I really can't imagine how did you place 6 gpu-s on mobo without risers! bullshit if you asking me.

In case of 280x, 290 and 290x it is better to use powered risers.

My 7950 and 7970 the cards 'do' work but they are way more stable with powered risers.

A few motherboards now comes with either molex or 6pin pci-e connector on the board. On those mobos you do not need powered risers. example: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4514#ov (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4514#ov) Title: Re: Risers with molex Post by: Roman1974 on January 06, 2014, 10:49:56 AM Always use powered risers!!!

You mean he should be aimlessly repeating something that someone else told him, yet he has no understanding of why or what factors could change it?
