New to mining - question re riser cables
-
G’day guys!
I’m fairly new to the mining scene, I just had a quick question regarding PCI-E risers, can a 1x to 16x riser be used as a 16x to 16x riser? I.e. the 1x side plugs into the 16x slot on my mainboard and then into the card.
My reasoning for doing this is I can’t see to find any 16x to 16x powered risers for a reasonable price.
I hope this makes sense.
Cheers,

the pinouts are the same, soe at least you shouldn’t damage things

Yep, should work fine. Do let us know how you get along!

Cheers for the replies.
I’ve ordered the 1x to 16x risers. I will keep you posted on how I go with them.
