![]() After you’ve built your mining rig, installed all of the operating system and drivers, its a good idea to test everything and make sure it works reliably. You can get risers for cheap from Amazon. Overclocking a Mining GPU with USB Risers ![]() ![]() Risers convert X1 slots to X16 slots over a USB 3.0 cable allowing your to plug X16 GPUs into X1 slots (again, bandwidth is not an issue here).Assuming your board did have enough X16 slots, the close proximity of the cards would make for a difficult time in cooling. ![]() This is a very different use-case than a video game would have. Mining sends a small math problem to the card and awaits an answer. However, this is completely unnecessary for mining purposes. X16 slots have 16 bus lanes, allowing for much faster communication between the video card and the motherboard. Most motherboards only have one or two X16 slots.
