Title: I just KNEW that ONE DAY my PS4 would be useful. Post by: tenaciouzd on January 30, 2014, 04:59:23 AM https://i.imgur.com/3N9ZCMb.jpg
In other news I finally got BAMT up and running on my new stuff. Still waiting for my damn PCI-E risers to get in so I can use my 3 other cards plus the one I have running in my gaming machine so I can make some money while waiting. LE SIGH. Just thought I would share, a little bit of venting as I have always used Windows and going to this stripped down version of Linux that wouldnt detect my wireless adapter made me want to break everything in site. https://i.imgur.com/tkiLJ1X.jpg Title: Re: I just KNEW that ONE DAY my PS4 would be useful.

What is this? Title: Re: I just KNEW that ONE DAY my PS4 would be useful. Post by: tenaciouzd on January 30, 2014, 05:09:25 AM lol i wish i could mine with it. just me testing my stuff ontop of the ps4. i thought some people might find it funny that thats what use i get out of the ps4 lol. ie ps4 sucks and has no games to play right now so it just sits there collecting dust. everything came but my risers so i thought i would test everything out to make sure everything works before the risers get here and get BAMT(since the mobo can have 6 gpu's) figured out so i can just throw the risers on and tweak and be done with it, plus also make a little money from the one gpu that would otherwise just be sitting around in its box.

Which PCI Risers have you ordered? Are they powered because I hear this board doesn't need them to be powered? Title: Re: I just KNEW that ONE DAY my PS4 would be useful. Post by: tenaciouzd on January 30, 2014, 02:53:46 PM I just got them powered to be safe, regardless you will need risers as only 1 of the 6 pcie slots are 16x. And it was only like a $2 difference between powered and non power so if I do in fact need powered I am ready, if not no big deal, and they are ready in the future if a need comes for powered. Everything I read said a 16x draws 75w and a 1x draws 25w. So I just assumed it would need them. The board does have the additional 2 4 pins for pcie though, so you may be right. I will let you know. They are to be delivered no later than tomorrow, they are already in my town according to tracking number, so maybe today!!
Title: Re: I just KNEW that ONE DAY my PS4 would be useful. Post by: tenaciouzd on January 30, 2014, 07:36:10 PM Risers have arrived! I will let you know later on today if powered are needed or not with this board.

Title: Re: I just KNEW that ONE DAY my PS4 would be useful. Post by: tenaciouzd on January 31, 2014, 01:12:17 AM Now powered risers needed that I can see, 3 cards up and running with no molex connected to power.

Title: Re: I just KNEW that ONE DAY my PS4 would be useful. Post by: empoweoqwj on January 31, 2014, 03:23:34 AM When will PS4 be useful for mining? I have mine sitting around for 20 hrs a day. Be nice to have it doing something "useful". Any thoughts?
