PCIe SLOT SPLITTER--

They go for $35-40 now. It is powered, and the graphic cards must be also by a powered USB riser and possibly a PCIe power line depending on the graphic card model.. There are models of this splitter card that sell for more than the price of a motherboard, too. Good luck! --scryptr

Something like: http://amfeltec.com/products/flexible-x4-pci-express-4-way-splitter/

YES--

The model(s) that you link are priced per quote only. I am sure that you could get a refund if they didn't work. Get the cheap ones off of Amazon, you can get a refund that way. --scryptr

I've tried searching for some, but can't main one down, maybe i'm using rong key words, if you have a link , i'd be grateful.

Now this brings forward an interesting topic, a while back when we could still really mine BTC with GPUs , windows 7 had a 4 GPU limit, is there a way around this? Has anyone managed to get more than 8 GPUs working reliably on any system at all? Linux or windows?

I have this one for ~40$: http://www.sintech.cn/riser%20card/ST-PCIE4PCIE%20PCI-E%20X1%20to%204%20PCIe%20x1%20riser%20cable.html
and I cannot make it work with maxwell cards. Tried 750ti, 960 and 970. No luck. In windows it gets detected... all pcie ports shows in the device manager but not the gpus. Tried also in linux on 2 different mobo but no luck. I got a refund.

Another thing i tried is to connect 3 gpus(maxwell) to an asrock q1900 mobo. It can work only with 2 gpus. No matter about slot number or gpu combination... Only 2 works at the same time in Win or linux enviroment.

Then I purchased an asrock h81 pro btc and it is great. Not only for mining. I got a 2nd hand unused for 35EUR

+celereon for 30EUR...

btw I would never use an oldschool ribbon riser... I just love all the advantages usb riser offers.

I hope sp won't be angry for the offtopic
