Title: PCI -> PCIE adapter Post by: mem on May 10, 2012, 03:22:10 AM https://i.imgur.com/Zi02K.jpg
Has anyone tried putting a 5970 (or another GPU) into one of these and using it to mine ? Seems like an ideal way to get even more slots out of your motherboard. Its unlikely but when mine arrive I will be trialing it in older motherboards that did not have PCIE (if it works Im set for motherboards). cost is about $20 ea. edit: as pointed out to me by a user, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4894.0 it works great. Ordering some meow. edit: really not my day, another user pointed out that I was looking at PCIE -> PCI not PCI -> PCIE (damn you dyslexia you win again). Fixed. http://www.aliexpress.com/product-gs/492197522-PCI-to-PCI-E-PCI-Expresscard-card-X1-X4-X8-X16-Adapter-New-wholesalers.html Title: Re: PCI -> PCIE adapter Post by: Chefnet on May 10, 2012, 05:12:55 AM yes I have done it and have 10 more in stock. Some older boards have problems with it but normally it works. my MSI 890FXA powers on when the card is plugged in, so switch your psu off befor plugging.

Or am I missing something

Title: Re: PCI -> PCIE adapter Post by: jjiimm_64 on May 14, 2012, 07:41:44 PM does NOT make sense at all....
20$ per slot.... just buy a mobo that has 5 slots Title: Re: PCI -> PCIE adapter Post by: ajstar on May 23, 2012, 12:43:27 AM For your case (putting PCIE card into PCI) you would need something like this: http://eu.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/Slot-Extension/PCI-to-PCI-Express-Adapter-Card~PCI1PEX1 (http://eu.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/Slot-Extension/PCI-to-PCI-Express-Adapter-Card~PCI1PEX1) but it's nonsense. Buy a proper MoBo instead :-)

Yes, the 7x series will work with those. Title: Re: PCI -> PCIE adapter Post by: gtraah on February 05, 2014, 11:18:09 AM Sorry to revive an old thread, but has anyone thought about the older magma backplane boards with 14 PCI slots- Model - PCI13BP Slot 32-bit/33Mhz PCI Expansion Board and each the PCI-32bit/33mhz > PCIE 16x adapter is $15 All together with adapters host card and adapters equals roughly $250
thats just over 17000KHs for Scrypt coins with alt coins you can make $300-$500 per day/ even with $350 per day which is the lower side of the daily profits, you will make your money back in 30 days, then its all profits from then on forward am I missing somthing here? |
