What's the significance of the modifcation(s) you did? (like, why did you do it, and does it change the way the riser works)
The 2 risers on the rigt were originally 1x-1x risers. By cutting off the edge, they are effectively 1x-16x risers.
I must be dense, so forgive my ignorance.
Are you saying that a 1x to 1x riser, can be modified to accept/fit onto a GPU's x16 "foot"? How can it stay in place?
I can see that a 1x to 16x riser ribbon only has a "few" wires in it, whereas a 16x to 16x riser ribbon has a whole lot more wires in it. For mining, we don't need but just the 1x portion of the signals, right?
Also, can a 1x to 1x riser "foot" fit into a 16x slot? So can a 1 to 16 fit on a 16 slot and become a 16 to 16 (with only 1x wires)?
Anyhoo, I am in the market for some risers. My motherboard will have 5 PCIe_x16 and 1 PCIe_x1. I already have:
(2) x16 to x16 risers
(2) x1 to x16 risers (like the two in the middle in your photo) [will only need one of these]
I need 3 more risers, which of the those you have for sale, do you recommend me buying off of you?
The m/b has 5 x16 slots, so I need to be able to plug into them.
