    GPU Mining Need some troubleshooting help! Riser 008s and R3c

    Need some troubleshooting help! Riser 008s and R3c

    This project isn't for gpu mining but I know these risers are mainly used for this purpose so I thought I might get some good feedback here.
    My project is that I have an itx board with a single x16 pcie slot. It also has 3 m.2 pcie gen3 x4 slots. I have one free m.2 slot and wanted to convert that to x16 via riser. I wanted a 2nd low power silent gpu added to the rig. I went with the fanless msi 1030. It has a max draw of ~30w so I figured sata power would be safe. I purchased this and this to test with. Neither work!! So it must be something on my end??
    The first part is fairly standard, the difference being I'm going to a m.2 slot where most of you are coming from x1 or x4. "In theory" this should just work! I'll start with the 2nd part since it's very simple: m.2 connector -> x16 socket + sata power. I hooked this up, seated the gpu and booted up. Nothing. Not even bios. I pulled the gpu and booted. Bios worked and booted up (running a 1080ti direct on the board). Installed the gpu back and nothing. I bought the 1030 used so I pulled the 1080ti and installed the 1030 direct to the mb. Works! So then I thought maybe the riser is bad or that sata power is insufficient seeing that most gpus would also have 6+8pin direct whereas mine has no external power. So I swapped risers out. This time the 008s with additional power connectors. Exact same thing. First I powered via pci only. Then sata+pci. And finally sata+pci+molex. In all situations the red led lit up. In all situations if I do not have the gpu plugged in it boots up fine. The strange thing is I never get into bios. No speaker or post lcd on this board so my troubleshooting is limited. And to note I test both gpu hdmi ports just to make sure one vs the other was set to primary. I got lazy and just looked at my mouse to light up to see if it booted. The mouse stayed dark, implying it never posted. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    1070 or 1660 ti?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 12:28 PM PDT

    Looking to upgrade my mining rigs from 1060s to either used 1070s or new 1660tis. Going forward do you think having the 8GB RAM or the GDDR6 RAM will be more practical for future algorithms?

    I disagree with BBT on Radeon VII. Do you?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 05:16 PM PDT

    So BBT just released the video linked below saying that Radeon VII is probably the best mining GPU atm. After going through the video, I disagree with him because the price is just way too high.

    Do you agree/disagree with BBT? What you do think?

    This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar and searching before posting!).

    Examples of questions:

    • What should I mine?

    • Is this build good enough to mine?

    • Which PSU should I get for _____ GPUs?
