Hello guys,

just a little noob question, since I'm doing so research on mining rigs to be able to build my own. But I dont want just to buy stuff and burn money unless I understand what I'm doing.

So I've read that 13 GPU's are max on one Rig. And that this is because this mining motherboard from AsRock has 13 PCI-E 1x slots. But now I've come across this:

This (as I understood it) allows you to put 4 GPU's per 1x slot. Wont I be able to user 4x13=52 GPU's per rig then?


I thank you for all helpful tips regarding building the first mining rig. Related to this question or not. Maybe if you can be so kind and "go back in time" to the time you were building your first rig, which tip would you give your old self with the wisdom you have now?
