I honestly don’t know what that is… Aside from been a riser of some form or sort

if it worked you could run 4 cards off one slot? also can build mining boxes and plug them into smaller computers. can run 8 cards in one computer that only has 2 pcie 1x slots

No idea here either, since PCIe is a serial bus type architecture. I don’t know if that technically creates another bus and then just interfaces with the master controller? I would guess yes if I was guessing and no if I was betting. I bet latency would be an issue, which mining does not necessarily rely on, so ya…

I think the slots on the exp.board are too close to each other

[/quote]They are, but you could use risers. This would have the advantage of allowing you to locate your GPU’s somewhere away from your MB and PS.
