Re: New rig problem: direct pcie 16x connection is slower than 1x riser
I would appreciate any tips on how to get around this. I'm kind of stumped as to why the direct pcie 16x ports are slowing down my hashrates... maybe the BIOS is clocking them down to save power? I haven't seen any setting like this when looking though. Is there some way that Windows 7 can slow the pcie bus?
Yes there is such a power option, called "PCI Express -> Link State Power Management".There are also some settings like PCI-e latency, PCI-e bus frequency on the Bios. Once someone reported higher hashrate at 95 Mhz PCI-e than 100.
Did you disable sound, firewire, etc... on the BIOS and unnecessary drivers on Windows device manager?
Scrypt is voodoo anyway...
