Looking to get back into litecoin mining but a lack of funds is pretty much killing me atm, so if anyone wants to send any old hardware my way i don't mind paying for shipping (uk based)
I am trying to get cgminer to work on my computer (I run Windows). I've downloaded the windows zip file, extracted it to my computer, and made the batch file. The batchfile reads:
All you need to do is cut the end off of the x1 slot. the x8 adapter will work in it
Realy?
I dont want to go damaging my mobo slots for nothing here
It can be done. The other option is to cut the "fingers" of your PCIex8 extender with a dremel tool so only the PCIex1 "fingers" remain. Wrap the cut portion in electrical tape.
A mistake there only ruins a $10 extender.
Ye thats what i did , well i didnt have adremel to hand so i used scissors very carefully its working , what i dont get is why cablesrus are selling them for $8 mor ethen the 8x to 16x types :/

Does the usb device support dialup protocol if so you should make a dialup profile and set it as the default connection windows should then autoconnect on lost connection
i have a pcie x1 on my mobo, and 2 normal pci slots which i thought was x8 slots due to the similar size on the images basicaly im stupid and didnt check what ports i had
So i now need a x1 adapter

I just recieved a x8 to x16 adapter that i thought would work with my slots (should of looked first, thoght the normal pci slot was a x8 :@)
Is there anyone in england that has a x1 adapter and would be willing to trade?
i was looking into it, but itd have to be a installable os, as you cant upgrade drivers with persistance the normal way not too sure how bamt is allowing it but meh :/
You can upgrade drivers with persistence. Although driver changes are so rare it would simply make more sense to release a new version of the OS as needed.
sorry to hear that. 0.5 added a "feature" called mother which when a card locks up it reboots the server and disables OC on that card. It is posisble that it what happened.
I use cgminer and really just use BAMT for the OS. I find it more stable and easier to configure that way.
Still I am considering offering a bounty for a cgminer only OS as BAMT doesn't support x64 and thus is limited to 6 or 7 GPUs per rig.
