huh I'm pretty sure running a 5970 on a 1x slot is impossible, you need at least one lane a gpu I think...

okay. for your rig do you have a 1x->16x expander and did you have to short wires?

wut?  So none of my 5970s on a 1x are actually mining?  Dammit.. that's probably why they haven't found a block yet  Cheesy

Actually it may be 4 16x to 16x, I haven't looked at the insides in a while. I had a 6970 running in the rig on a 1x at one point, I know that for sure. I'm not sure it matters though, 1x can handle 250mb/s and that's more than enough for mining.

It's a UD3 so 2 actually, the other 2 are 4x which is the same length as a 16x slot it just doesn't use as many pins.

At one point I had 3 6970s and 2 6950s, that's when I was forced to use one of the 1x slots
