You'll be able to use the x1 slot just fine for mining
Yeah, coming to that conclusion also ... gonna have to get one of those PCI-E x1 extension cables off you
Do you have a maximum length cable available? (I think it is like 15" (37cm)).

So far as I know, 5970s will work for hashing with x1 connections. I am attempting to set up an almost identical rig right now. Will post pictures soon.
How many PCI-e x16 slots can be used on the GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 mobo?
If I put a 5970 in each of the x16 slots and another in the x8 slot will it work or need some extra configuration???
... the manual seems to say 2 x16 cards or 3 x8 cards but not 3 x16 cards (1 down slotted to x8).
Down-slotting is possible but what happens when the 2 x16 address space is full and another x16 is placed in a x8 slot?
