Topic: making old pc to miner (Read 1384 times)
ok i did some research to answer 3.. but i need help with 1 and 2
hi again, i bought my gaming/mining pc and its finally time to invest to that old pc.. i have couple of questions
1. do i have to do a pin shorting in my mobo to get GPUs work in x1 slot? (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-motherboard-that-require-shorting-pin-a1-b17-for-pci-e-1x-to-work-36061)
2. can i mix together (5xxx and 6xxx) or (5xxx and 7xxx) GPUs ?
3. and how well i can downclock the memory in 5970 (i dont know anything of 5xxx cards except they suck power and mines well
)

The HD6990s and HD7970s are my dream cards due to the sheer mining power.

yea i found one in dealextreme with free shipping
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/pci-e-1x-to-16x-riser-card-extension-cable-15-5cm-length-100061
that should be work
Dealextreme have been slow on the shipping with those lately, i would probably check eBay first
Be careful with the cheap stuff, some people get their cards/mobos ruined because of low quality risers
Seriously, go to cablesaurus, or I think there might even be a guy that makes them here on the forums.
Haha, wat. Cablesaurus is overprices a f@¤k. I'll bet you it's the excact same cables as commonly found on eBay for $2
Hence why you buy more expensive ones. Cheaper doesn't mean better.
Still willing to bet that the cablesaurus ones are the exact same as the $2 eBay ones
Doubt it, but you can ask. When dealing with $100s in high end computer hardware, I think that $8 for an extender isn't a problem if it is a higher quality.

Probably get one with the molex power as 7970's suck a lot of power. You might end up with a burnt MB if the power isn't enough.
