Re: [WTS IN-HAND] Flexible USB-based powered PCI-E risers $18-$20/each
@ssateneth
Hey. I recently purchased a few units of these risers from you. I have a question regarding them. Due to the unavailability of the motherboards commonly used in rigs, I've been thinking about going with the ASRock Z87 Killer (Fatal1ty) motherboard.
On another thread, this post ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36061.msg4264789#msg4264789 ) claims that the motherboard needs shorting of some pins to recognize all GPUs connected to it.
The MoBo has 7 PCI-E slots, and I'd like to use all of them.
In your original product description, you mentioned that these risers have some built-in enhanced video card detection feature.
I was wondering if this negates the need to short any MoBo pins, or will I need to do that anyways?
This question is for everyone. The motherboard manual does not mention anything about connecting more than 3 GPUs or any PCI-E devices, so I have no information about whether or not its possible to use 7 cards on this MoBo. Do you know of any to ensure that this MoBo will work, without actually purchasing it? I tried searching the forum, but there are only 2 threads which mention this board, and they don't have the information I'm looking for.

I do not mine scrypt, or GPU mine at all anymore, so I cannot provide assistance with any GPU mining questions, but I will say the risers have pci-e presence mod built right into the PCB. that means no inserting wires into a pci-e slot to get a card to detect. getting drivers to install or getting rid of error 43 is a different problem and not something i can assist with. its also possible some motherboards fully turn off certain pci-e slots when others are populated. this is an isolated problem and something you need to consult your motherboard manual or manufacturer for.
Thanks for the clarification, ssateneth. I guess I'll have to call ASRock support or something to find out about the pci-e slots on it.
