Hello everyone,

I've just got my first gpu to mine bitcoins for me. 5830 mining little bit over 300Mhash/s. However I'm thinking about getting another 5830/5850 but my mobo does not have another 16x slot for card. So I've read about these 1x -> 16x risers(?) but does those really work? Also I've msi k9n neo v3 mobo (http://www.easycom.com.ua/mboard/msi__k9n_neo_v3/?lang=ru) and as you can see from the picture 1x slots are pretty close to heatsink so I guess I need some extenders to actually fit a new gpu. Any ideas what do I need to add another card to my computer?

Also is my PSU enough for 1x 5830 + 1x 5830/5850. I currently have this PSU link1 link2. It does not have 4x 6-pin pcie connectors so I guess there may be another problem or do we have lovely molex -> 6-pin pcie adapters?

Also I'm located in EU if some lovely person like to give direct links what should I order to get this working  Smiley
