PCIe 2.0 x1 good to mine Skein?

[Shintax]

Hello again, I am in the process of setting up a Skein mining rig and have a mobo with 5 (3.0) x16 lanes and 1 x1 lane and am wondering if (like mining bitcoin) the x1 lane will pull the same hashrate as the other 5 lanes? Thx!

This belongs in alt coins

 The answer is it should be okay  use good usb 3.0 powered risers


 Also what is make and model of mobo and gpus.

Note  I asked mods to move this to alt coins

sounds good, I'll give it a shot and see how it fares. I am using a AsRock Z87 Extreme 9/ac with Gigabyte AORUS 1080s.

thanks for the help!
