Topic: New to crypto mining, question on risers PCIe (Read 339 times)
I assume this decrease in bandwidth does not impact the GPU calculations/mining in anyway, is this correct?
I am new to this too so I tested it both ways and no there is not an impact.
What is a good manufacture to use if I wanted to pick up one of these risers?
this is what I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GU94QSQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was told to check the mining support section but could not find it... hopefully this will be the correct place. Quick history, worked in IT for a long time. I wanted to start mining to get familiar with it and to produce and hold some coin. So currently mining on a 1 GPU home gaming PC ;-) waiting on a second GPU.
So questions. I am new to cryptocurrency but not to IT. I started doing some mining on my gaming PC and decided to invest in a second GPU to increase my mining. I am really doing it to get familiar with the process and to exchange/sit on some coins. I had some questions about the PCIe USB risers. It looks like they drop the x16 slot to x1, I assume this decrease in bandwidth does not impact the GPU calculations/mining in anyway, is this correct? What is a good manufacture to use if I wanted to pick up one of these risers? Does anyone make external GPU chassis with additional cooling/power?
Thank you.
