Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Ive never seen a riser with a molex before. Why would you need one?

That looks like improper grounding or way too many GPUs were being run through the board. You need to make sure as a rule of thumb you're not running more than 4 cards per motherboard without Molex extenders. EDIT: Also, any and all dual GPU cards need run through a Molex powered cable if using an extender. This includes 5970's, 6990's etc. Here's the Molex powered extender one needs to avoid such over-draw: http://cablesaurus.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=12 |

Thats not true. Ive run 30 5850 with 5 cards per board as well as 2 rigs with 4 5970 each. Ive used more than 50 of these. Never had any problems. They work great.

Does the length of the extender matter in this case? i.e. If you're using 1 GPU per mobo with either: a) 4in extender b) 8in c) 2 foot extender (hypothetically, not sure if this exists) |

The risers in that pic could have been defective. Im sure you will get defective risers with the molex too.

It really all depends on the draw of the cards. With 5830s you can get away with having 5 in a board, but seriously, you'll know when you're trying to pull too much through the motherboard. The cards will run like crap, the board will be super hot, and at some point, the system will stop working all together.

Running 5 cards may work. Running 5 cards may also stress your motherboard PCIe bus to the point of burning out. You're not going to really know if you have a problem until something has died. You will not at all necessarily have mining or desktop performance symptoms leading up to such a hardware failure. Edit: Not all motherboards are created equal as well. |

Had the same thing happen to me but reason was slightly defective PSU (Corsair VX 550W) which was stressed too much ~100% for two weeks 24/7. No problems after switching to TX850V2 with same risers which were not the issue in my case, even though I have 3 GPUs like before and they draw more power (they're overvolted now). |

When I look at that pic I have doubts risers caused that. The first thing that comes to my mind is power supply. People are probably trying to pull to much power from their psu.

PCI-E boards get some power from the motherboard (not just via the 2 power sockets what is on the board). If you have 5 or 6 cards it is better to use an extender with MOLEX. This extra power will take off the load from the motherboard. When I look at that pic I have doubts risers caused that. The first thing that comes to my mind is power supply. People are probably trying to pull to much power from their psu.
