Hi nnay_th,

Have you been to this site: http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/04/build-a-litecoin-mining-rig-windows/.
I been looking forward to build the same rig, hope this site can help. Happy new year.

Hi suzanneg,

This is exactly where I got my info about building a rig! Best tutorial I could find so far!  Grin
The difference is that I intend to use 4 GPUs with 4 powered PCIe 1x to 16x risers.


Hi cryptoprime,

Yes I'm considering doing this, but I can't find info from owners of the same mobo.

Do you know if I can safely short a PCI x16 slot? I found infos about shorting a 1x slot, but nothing about the 16x slots.

Also I read stories from people frying their mobo shortly after shorting their PCIe ports... simply horrifying..  Shocked

What psu are you using?

Hi justkid,

I have two Akasa Cobra 850w running on the same rig, which are intended to power two GPUs each. With a total of 1700w, I think that might not be the issue.
