Good morning everyone!

Last night I decided to try and consolidate a few mini-rigs that I had and put 4 GPUs on one motherboard instead of having them spaced out between 3 PCs that were set up to mine when idle.



Anyways, I built the rig, got the cards raised with PCIe x1 to x16 risers.  Everything looked sweet and ready to go, but then when I fired it up the only card that was recognized while on a riser was the one in the PCIE4 slot.  I tried the following to no avail:

1) Tried switching the risers out to see if the cards would pick up in the other slots with the confirmed working riser
2) Tried removing the risers, getting the cards to be recognized in Windows 7, then rising them
3) Tried swapping the cards around to ensure that all cards could be recognized in PCIE4 with a riser - they could but no other spot recognizes any card with the risers

After that, I decided to just try and get all 4 of the cards mining to see how it goes, so I put a card in PCIE1, PCIE5, and PCIE6 and used the riser in PCIE4.  Success... for about 5 minutes.  Had all of the cards hashing away and then after a few minutes GPU3 got sick, then the computer froze and wouldn't restart.  I removed GPU3, got the computer back up and running with 3 GPUs, and then GPU2 got sick and the computer froze and restarted.  Then I removed that and said "screw it" and I am just confused now. 



My hypothesis is the motherboard is just on it's last leg and that is why the risers only work in one (seemingly random) PCIE slot.  The next steps I am going to try before declaring the Mobo worthless for mining is to install Linux and see if that clears anything up.  Never worked with Linux before so tomorrow is going to be a fun day

Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks!

That's correct.

And you are in luck!  I have exactly 6 left

PM sent.

Thanks, Seal!  You rock.

Keep up the good work. 

Ahhh, I gotcha, bro.  You got a case of the MPH*.

Sorry, didn't realize that. 

*My Pussy Hurts

Meh, my job didn't pay much anyways.  I'd like to thank all of you tax payers in advance for my unemployment checks which will end up being about 80% of my current takehome pay.

I shall use my $15k severence check to the best of my abilities.

Congrats!  I took a severence package to leave my job.  Last day is tomorrow!

Next week it's time to start working completely on my Bitcoin business that I keep putting off... a little nervous and excited.

Probably going to end up getting a divorce out of it too (so yay!) hahaha

Yes you did.  We talked about this in PM last week

Certainly wouldn't hurt!

We are all stuck until Chinese New Year is over.  I think they start coming back to work after the 6th of February.

Like most Americans, I probably do several illegal things each and every day.  We have so many stupid fucking laws in this country that it is hard for normal people not to break them.

Shit, until 2003, everytime I got oral from my girlfriend (I praised God, but...) I was breaking the law.

Most people break traffic laws every single time they drive.

We already live in a nanny state.  Stop being a bitch.

It's okay little ladybug, I'm done with it.

Just don't really understand what makes a beggar feel the need to dish out unsolicited legal advice to an entrepreneur, but I'm not stressing about it.   You helped get his thread noticed, and convinced me to buy some from him just to spite you.

Feel free to email the USDA, PETA, and FDA about my purchase when I make it

Buying otrkid's address.... please send PM. 

Prepare to get a lot of meat sent your way, baby girl!

At least you aren't denying that your sole intent for joining this forum was to beg for money to get your dog an operation.

How about you get the hell out of threads that involve people actually working to earn their money since it's something you know nothing about?

I'm not name calling, I am stating facts:

1) The only reason you signed up for this forum is so that you could beg for money to get your dog an operation
2) You are whining in a thread about meat because you think meat is murder, unless people are hungry or whatever PETA bullshit you believe
3) You are acting like a tattle-tale in a third grade classroom with your "that's bad!  I'm telling the teacher!" bullshit


What else did I miss?  

Oh, you are probably a fat fuck with no friends except your dog who you fuck when you are lonely.  

There is some name calling for you, baby girl

I'm 30 and I didn't call you a badguy.  I'm calling you a whiney bitch who thinks his shit doesn't stink because he thinks animals are more important than humnas.

Actually... are you a vegan?  Does your shit stink?  I'm kinda curious now... does it smell like freshly cut grass and anal lube?

Homeboy joins the forum to beg for money to get treatment for his dog, then goes all PETA-freak on someone over deer jerky.

Sounds like the typical internet dweeb that thinks they are tough by saying things like "I will call the USDA on you for breaking the law"

I want to strap you to a chair, pry your eyes open, and make you watch videos of slaughterhouses and Michael Vick highlight reels for days on end.  If you want to live off of wheat and soy then that is your perogative, just get the fuck out of the meat thread with your high-horse attitude.   Or go tattle on all of us to the FBI/CIA/USDA as if anyone here is scared of these empty threats.   I wish you would pick up the phone and call 911 and say "someone on the internet is selling deer jerky!  my vagina is offended!" and post what their response is...

Chinese New Year is awesome isn't it!? 

lol

Only make bets that you know you can win...

For example:

If someone said "I bet you 100BTC that Peyton Manning will be the Suberbowl MVP on Sunday", then you take it as long as these conditions apply:

1) you own a high quality rifle
2) can get a good enough vantage point to take him out when he gets off the bus (pre-game)
3) you are okay with killing the face of Papa John's Pizza

Bonus:  You could probably extort Pete Carroll for extra money if you can somehow pin this on the Seahawks organization.

Summation:  Don't fucking gamble unless you are okay with losing everything you own and/or killing Peyton Manning.

I'd sell any and all preorders from that company... good luck finding a buyer though...

In other news I am taking pre-orders for a 12GH/s Scrypt ASIC.  Only $120,000.

20 for sale.... come on people, if I can get one preorder, I can rent out a shop and design a website that is more legit than Alpha-T

Animals have rights, too, bro!  

My dog filed a lawsuit against me yesterday because I made her do tricks to get her treat.  Apparently that was cruel and unusual punishment so I have to pay a fine and am on probation for the next four years.  After I got back from the courthouse I opened the door to reveal a dog passed out on my couch with a fresh piss-stain on my rug.  My Kahlua and vodka were both missing...

Sometimes I hate that bitch
