Hey Guys!

We're having a Crypto Mining Rig Photo Contest! https://www.facebook.com/HashRateStore/app_451684954848385

You people really are desperate to get rid of these things.. so much so that you are now offering them free in a contest... lol.

Your product will attract a hella lot more attention if you price it properly.

are you going to lower the price for the yellowjackets to am more reasonable point now so you can compete with the antminers?

I just ordered four. Do the USB risers come with a molex power extension cord, or do you need to buy one separately? Not many people will be able to stretch their PSU molex cables to reach several cards without them.

You should probably include them, or sell them separately on your site if they don't come with them.

Great suggestion, they don't come with an extension cord, only the old model came with the sata power cable. We'll definitely look into stocking the extensions. Do you prefer to have a sata power extension or a 4 pin molex extension?

Also the new model that we stock has three capacitors vs the 2 on the old one.

Thanks!

I believe the SATA power cables are only rated for 54 watts, while the molex power cables are rated for over 100. I know that modern cards supposedly don't draw more than 25w from the PCI slot, but most people would probably prefer the molex just in case it decides to do so.

If someone is running an overclocked 290x or something, there's no telling what will happen.

Just wanted to give my thanks to the store.
Shipment arrived on time and my hashrate increased by 50% now!

16x - 16x cables discontinued, why?

Hey Guys,

We are looking to do another contest. Our last one was the Crypto Mining Rig Photo Contest. https://www.facebook.com/HashRateStore/app_451684954848385

Do you have any ideas for our next contest?

yes
the next idea for your contest is for, if more than 2 people reply to this, you will lower your stupidly high prices

Does anyone have experience with the 60cm USB risers on high wattage cards 280x, 290's??

The extra length would really help my setup, but I'm concerned about not having enough wattage or something not working correctly. I watched a few youtube channels where the builds had issuees with USB risers on high wattage cards.

questions:
Are these USB3 male A to male A cables? If so, will any USB3 (male A to male A) cable work? I didnt see it specified anywhere.
Is 60cm the max distance without interference/hash loss? I've seen a few risers sold with 100cm USB3 cables and I know you can buy 5foot + USB3 cables. Will longer cables lower hashrate?

Hey VR,

We just recommend using the USB cable that comes with it because this is how the manufacturer intended for it to be used with the specific PCB.

I'm not really sure what sort of issues other brands might have but I know from the thousands that we've shipped we haven't had any issues. A large number of customers are using these with their 290x's and 7990's without any issues.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Wow, ridiculously fast reply man.

Do you plan on stocking other mining supplies at any point? Are you going to expand your product lines? Have you had much interest in other mining products?

I'd really love a 100cm USB powerd riser (I have limited space in my apartment and I have to get creative/efficient with my rigs). I'd much rather order from you than other bootleg looking sites with no bitcointalk rep.

Cheers,

The manufacturer was able to confirm that we can use 1M long USB 3.0 cables with the current batch of USB risers.

This is great news! Do you plan on selling any with 100cm USB cables? If not now worries, I may still order from you and get a 100cm USB cable for the extra length if needed.

Thanks again!

Followup question:
Is anyone running these in a more than 4 GPU configuration? If so how was the setup/install? Any issues? I've heard most of the people running 6 GPU boards (Mining specific mobo's) suggest using non-powered risers. Can they be used without the additional molex power?

Yes, we definitely are. The 100cm risers are just in the works at the moment but no firm ETA yet. The 60cm risers are available for immediate shipping, check your PMs.

These risers will work no problem in a 4+ GPU rig, but ultimately it depends on your motherboard because I know some mobos by design won't support cards in all slots with any type of riser. These have to be used with the molex or sata power because the USB cable only carries data (no power).

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Just picked up 3 risers to finish my 6 x r9 270 rig. Looking forward to that uber quick shipping :-)

Starting the open air case build tonight!!

See, your pricing is actually SOMEWHAT fair now.
I might consider buying one..

Hello, what is going on with #5847?

I should have received it by now if you shipped within 24 hours.

Seller seem to be AWOL. Not replying to business contacts, didn't even receive the order confirmation from the website.
