Powered Risers

Do you need powered risers for PCI-E x 16 slots? as I currently only have risers as extensions.
I have 1 powered riser for PCI-E x 1 to x16.

[/quote]This question has been answered several times before if you had just searched a bit.
The point of using powered risers is to “releave” the mobo a bit, which means you do not need it on all the cards if you don’t want to (i use it on all).
If you only have 1x-16x risers that is powered and 16x risers that is non powered and you want to power them all, theres nothing wrong with using that
1-16x extender in an mobos 16X slot. It works to go from smaller slot to bigger (not the other way), and no you will not lose any mining performance from using an 1x slot instead of 16x for a card. -
There is a lot of information in the forum, but we know when you don’t know what to look for it can be difficult to find it.
In order to make searching easier, we have marked many support issues with [Solved], in some cases * “The Action that solved it.”
Obviously, the system would be better if it was proper maintenance system, but then everyone would need training up on how to use it!
All bugs, software changes, web updates need to be controlled more thoroughly. The de facto open source standard for that is GitHub. Any major issues raised during forum discusion or Support will be moved to an issue in Github.
This is also makes change control transparent and easy for such as the Website development. Updates are pushed as a Patch which can be easily checked Locally, then Pushed to the Github. All issues can be tracked and it is clear who has been allocated the Task for an “fix”.
Any fix causing problems can be easily withdrawn. It makes it possible for a couple of people to control a large amount of input work from various contributer, a core requirement of Feathercoin…
