It's just a rebranding, the transition to POS is still on the roadmap unfortunatelly.

I received them yesterday, but windows isn't recognizing them.
It does appear the "triangle" in the device panel.
I am trying to find the driver over the net with no luck.

Can someone that is successfully using the multiplier tell me the name of the driver he is sing ? 

I've got the one above, the ebay link, and it worked straight forward, without having to install a driver.

So, I imagine that you insert the multiplier in the PCI "long" slot that does carry 16x ?

Currently I have  2 multipliers, inserted in the last 2 slots, they are short slots.

Hello,

I have this motherboard and is working ok with 6 cards, but I have extra 5 cards and the prices of the motherboards that support 12/13 gpus are pretty high right now, so I bought an PCIE extension. The issue is that when I plug the risers in the multiplier, the cards are not detected, but if I plug an usb stick, it works fine. Is because of the motherboard?

Thanks
lol its pcie to usb 3.0 not pcie multiplier for pcie, you cannot use this for pcie riser, you're wrong bought this stuff, pcie multiplier quite expensive around 1/3 from mobo that has 12 pcie, so i think better you sell the mobo and buy new one with 12+ pcie and not causing any problem in the future

Well, I've bought it for 18 pounds, and currently a h110 pro btc is around 250-300 pounds, so is way less expensive to buy the multiplier.

They have arrived today, and they work. So now, my mb, which has only 6 pcie slots, works with 12 cards. Thanks again @miner29!!

what cpu are u using?
i cant believe u got 12 cards working
u should only be able to get 7 working
if u can get 12 i want to try and mimic with my tb250 btc
are they all nvidia or amd cards?

The cpu is i3, they are all 3060ti or 3070s. I've got 2 multiplier with 4 ports each, to see if they work, and today I've ordered another 2, because I'd like to use 1 multiplier for 2 cards, to make it last longer.

can you share for pny and palit 3090 gpu settings?

sorry, I don't have a 3090 gpu, but it should be similar, just adjust the parameters.

Interesting config.  What card are you mining with?  

I have a couple of 3060ti's and 3070's and they are doing 61 ~ 63 mh with 120 ~ 132w

Thanks miner29, I've just ordered them. I'll let you know if they work. Unfortunatelly, I don't know if I can or  how to give you merit. Cheesy
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: PCIE Multiplier on: February 28, 2021, 07:13:59 PM
Running that much GPUS from a single PCIe slot? Naa I'd rather buy another motherboard or get three or four of this connector and use two/two cards on each connector, there are motherboards with 16x gpu space onboard though

I'm planning to buy 3 of them and to use 3 cards max on each, but first I need to know if they would work.

Thanks

The riser interface is not USB3.0 it uses the connectors and cables but is not usb..  so you want a card more like this...

https://www.amazon.com/YIYIYI-Expansion-Converter-Adatper-Bitcoin/dp/B08TWBDNPP/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=YIYIYI&qid=1614537907&sr=8-1

This will work with risers to gpus.  Note that your cpu pcie lanes, chipset,  other intefaces turned on in bios can all affect how many gpus you can actually get to recognize.  If your bios has above 4g decoding then chances are good you can run more....  Its a try and see thing most of the time.


But usb3.0 plugged into a riser would present problems as the usb 3.0 is not compatible and carries voltage where risrs using usb connector/cables pass no voltages only data.  Its just usb connectors and cables are cheap and reliable so used for this application also.




Thanks, it has 4g decoding, and it detects 6 gpus. Would the below work, as on amazon they are all available from april at soonest here in UK ?

And for 12 3070's gpus on an ASROCK PRO BTC+ mb? would you recommend 2 big psus or 3 smaller ones? And if 3, which ones would be ok? Thanks.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Single PSU 1600w for six 3070? on: February 04, 2021, 10:03:22 PM
Hi!

Will a single PSU like this be enough for a six 3070 gpu mining rig?

EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G+,
https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-GP-1600-X1

I read TDP of a 3070 is 220w...x6 is 1320w which is pretty close to 1600w.

Yes, because you're going to undervolt them, they will do around 130w, 135w each, so it will more than enough. It could be ok even for 8 gpus.

I am mining here in the UK Smiley I have 4 x small farms, running just under 10PH total now.

I don't use PDU's. I have 1 x 20A breaker for EACH miner, with 2 x iec C14 power cables wired directly into each breaker.

I use these extension cables and cut off the male end:

You can see some photos and details of one of my UK farms here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5263722.0

Happy to answer any questions if you PM me. I would say at £0.10 kw/h you'll struggle to profit though :/

Well, £0.10 kw/h is cheaper than the majority here in London. The cheapest I've found is £0.138/kw. Who is your provider danieleither & Shitcoinah?

13.8p per kw? Sign me up - who's that? Last time I looked 17ish was the best...

I just switched to utilitypoint for 13.8/kw. But it seems that it can be better, as the people above posted.

Hello,

There are some new laptops which were announced recently with 3080 - 16 Gb and Ryzen 5900HX cpu. Do you think they would be good for mining and how much would be the hashrate for the 16 gb 3080? And also, can you mine monero with the cpu in the same time while mining ETH with the gpu?

The 3080 specs:
      NVIDIA CUDA Cores: 6144
      Boost Clock: 1245 - 1710GHz
      Memory Size: 16GB or 8GB
      Memory Type: GDDR6

Thanks

Based on a bit of Googling, looks like the specs for the laptop gpu are significantly lower then the desktop version
GPU Engine Specs: GEFORCE RTX 3080
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores:8704
Boost Clock (GHz)1.71
Base Clock (GHz)1.44
Standard Memory Config: 10 GB GDDR6X
Memory Interface Width   320-bit
Graphics Card Power (W) 320

GPU Engine Specs:GEFORCE RTX 3080 LAPTOP GPU
NIDIA CUDA® Cores: 6144
Boost Clock (MHz) 1245 - 1710 MHz
Standard Memory Configuration: 16 GB GDDR6
Memory Interface Width:   256-bit
GPU Subsystem Power (W): 80 - 150+ W

Have to say looks like a pretty awesome laptop (although i would only ever spend £400 max on any laptop, and probably then go for a chrome book)
I guess for me at least, you buy a laptop to use as a laptop, and if you only want max mining performance you might be better saving on the laptop and getting a dedicated desktop (or rig)....as they say "The choice is yours"

Yes, the main use of the laptop is for work and gaming, I was just wondering if I could just earn a bit extra while not using it for that, but it seems that is not a good idea. What about the cpu mining?
