Hell yes.  If you have the stuff on hand, try it, before you start buying other expensive stuff that you may or may not need.

Yeah it doesn't matter. I'm using a piece of shit Lenovo that has windows VISTA on it - old as dog shit. Got 6 GPU's working on it no issues. Fancy mobo's don't matter. This thing doesn't even have "enable 4g" "gen 1/2/3" etc and it works just.

Guys! Need some advise. Can i use this mobo https://www.asus.com/…/Motherboar…/P8Z77V_LX/specifications for mining? I'm planning to setup 4x GTX 1050TI with this mobo.
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (blue) *2
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black)
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
3 x PCI
However i understand that there is no option to change the PCIE speed to 2.0 in bios (Does this matter? will it causing crash or something?) , i have done searching in google well not much results since i believe this is an old mobo.
Kindly advise. Thanks Guys!

PCIe 3.0 and 2.0 bandwidth is insignificant in mining operations.

I guess this is almost same with the threads below.
