Bump bump.  Get your risers here cheaper than anywhere else on the forums and if you find a better deal, then I will beat them Smiley

Sure, you can go to some fancy website and pay $20 each, fill out some forms, feel good about it and get them in a week or so, or you can just post here or shoot me a PM and I will ship it out to you within 24 hours.

Do these have the capacitor? Any thoughts on that being good or bad?
Thanks.

When I think of a capacitor I am thinking of something like this:



These have the molex power on them.  My understanding is it takes two of the wires and powers it through the molex.  Without the molex power, it uses power through the motherboard.  This can be bad if you are using multiple risers per motherboard.  From all of the posts that I have seen about it, no one has really had any problems with unpowered risers unless they are using 3 or more.  That being said, the powered ones do not need the power to be plugged in for them to work, so they can serve as unpowered risers as well.
EDIT:  This is incorrect.  After testing these out they MUST be connected to the Molex or they will not work.
[/b]

I see no advantage to using nonpowered risers except to daisy chain for lengthier case builds.  I also have 6pin PCIe extender cables for those using beasty PSUs to power a lot of cards where the cables could not reach.  I have no idea how useful they would be, but I bought them anyways because they seemed like a good idea.  lol

Unpowered risers are fine under the right circumstances. I am running about 18mh in altcoins all on unpowered risers, 5 cards per mb. Some mainboards have extra power connectors and some video cards don't draw that much via pci. In my case, the cards don't draw that much where I am worried about it. If they did then I would cut the appropriate wires and connect it to the custom harnesses I built for the server power supplies I am using.

Hey and I'm sure you can use a drill bit to clean your ears but I would not recommend it.

Yeah because that is totally the same thing...  Roll Eyes

If you don't know what you are talking about, you really shouldn't be giving advice to people.



I do know what I'm talking about. blah blah blah *measures dick* blah blah blah!

No, you don't, or you would know that unpowered risers are completely fine for almost all 2-3 GPU builds.  Not everyone is running 4+ GPU builds.  Some people have old mobos sitting around with a couple of PCIe slots that these will run completely safe on.

You don't have to recommend it, but you shouldn't shit on something if you don't know what you are talking about.

I do know what I'm talking about. I have over 14000 KH mining altcoins. I have been building LTC miners for over a year. I'm not the only one out here who has voiced their opinion on unpowered risers.. just do a search!

even if YOU don't recommend it why come in and thread crap?  People have problems with both powered and unpowered risers usually a PSU issue, but many also have success with both.  It IS possible to use them for extended periods without problems everything has its limitations.  If you had a choice yes maybe you go with powered, but for a card or 2 with a sufficient PSU pulling 75 watts through the mobo and an unpowered riser shouldn't be an issue.

Anyone using these are crazy, you need to have powered risers to mine otherwise... well.. keep a phone handy to call the local fire department.

I have never heard one person post on here about their mining rig catching on fire...

Also, no matter what you rig build is, you can always use a couple of unpowered risers.  Powered risers are needed for 4+ GPUs, but you can still use unpowered risers for a couple of slots.
