Scored one of the bad boys on Friday! Grin  I'm trying to get 4 cards up and running WITHOUT powered risers (1 direct, 3 1x->16x). If I do manage to burn the board, they have a lot of explaining to do  Tongue

I had an Asrock MB for over 2 years. Zero problems, and I mined over 200BTC on it...

200BTC! Can I ask what your set-up is?
First it was 2x6950 + iGPU on A8-3850, later I upgraded to 2x7970 + 400MH/s Lancelot. Turned off in January, and sold out.

I bought an ASSRock mobo earlier this year.

The first one was DOA, the second one was DOA, and the third one would post hung up all the time while booting 2 different operating systems.

Needless to say, I got my money back after sending the 3rd one back, then I bought an ASUS that has been flawless.



Yeah, I got a very nice little miniITX AsRock - got it because it had a mSATA on the back.  Opened the sealed box, went to put in the CPU - pins in socket totally mashed.  Must have left the factory like that.  Useless.  Thankfully it was from Amazon, so easy returned.

I also went to Asus - nearly every piece of computing equipment I have is Asus now....PC, NAS, router, switch, wireless cards, Bluetooth dongle...all work flawlessly.

It's only 4X and 8X slots that need to be open-ended to take 16X cards.

Don't need notched 1X slots for 2X+ cards.

That's funny, because every x1 slot I've ever seen had a solid back and every long-slot card I've ever seen was not notched to fit around it. Never seen a long-slot card that would fit in an x1 slot, without modifying one or the other. Any evidence of this in PCIe standards definition?

You need a raisers anyway to put more than 2-3 cards, so it doesn't matter...

Right, if you're going to load it up with more than 3 doublewide cards. But if you want exactly two or three doublewide cards, or for any reason more than one directly-mounted long-slot card, kinda SOL.

The lower 1X slot on my mobo is notched out at the back.

Are the x1 slots notched out at the back for fitting long-slot cards in without tearing anything up? That would be handy as heck.

Don't need notched 1X slots for 2X+ cards. My 6850 is on a 1X connector on my main computer without a riser.
