Hello folks I would like to expand one of my mobo PCI-E in order to connect more GPU to the same mobo.

I have a Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3P with 3 PCI-E slots and I would like to purchase 3 of these expansion to add 4 GPU to each slot, so I'll be able to add 4*3=12 cards to my mobo!
here the link of the expansion:
https://www.amazon.it/Dealit-espansione-Converter-dispositivo-estrazione/dp/B074XGSC1W/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1519926237&sr=8-7&keywords=scheda%2Bdi%2Bespansione%2Bpci&th=1

THE QUESTION IS:
DO YOU THINK I CAN ATTACH ON OF THOSE EXPANSION TO EACH PCI-E SLOT?
THE MOBO WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS KIND OF HUGE EXPANSION AND RUN 12 GPU ?

thank you

Just buy one and test it. I doubt anyone has that exact board and tested it and will read and answer this thread. In my experience with more expensive boards, they half work, where you can add a few extra GPUs with hours of headaches changing the BIOS and reinstalling drivers. If I could do it all over, and when I buy my next mining rigs, I'll just pay the extra $100 for a motherboard that can handle the amount of GPUs I want. Not worth the trouble.

Additionally, Amazon should provide free returns for most products within a short period of time which should cover you if the card doesn’t work.

I doubt you’ll be able to run 12 cards on your motherboard anyways even with this card. Never had great success with FM2 motherboards.

And how will you power it? Somehow I miss the possibility of connecting and powering like with classic risers.
Will you power 4 PCIE slots through 1 slot? You'll fry him.

This is not true.
Most of these extenders are sold by a 3rd party and they don't allow refunds unless it's broken.

If you changed your mind or bought wrong one, don't request a refund from a 3rd party seller.

It was a stupid idea. The cost of second-hand motherboard with 3-4 slots under PCI is proportional to the cost of the splitter. Why do that? Slot capacity is not designed for such a load. You will burn the slot. BIOS such motherboard is also not designed to work this amount of GPU. You'll save $ 10 but lose $ 300.

In don't know in us but here in eu they are supposed to change or give money back even with no reasons within 15 days. It happened to me in the past
