I've used the 1 to 1 PCIE riser cards, but had a question I'm hoping someone can confirm for me.
I am getting the MSI B250M-BAZOOKA-OPT-BOOST motherboard for free with a new 1070 ARMOR 8GB GPU that I snagged from NewEgg. The MB only has 3 PCIE slots. However, when I look at the specs of the Intel B250M chipset, it shows that it supports 12 PCIE lanes. (link below). In theory, that would mean that I could use this PCIE riser to run 4 GPU on a single slot and then use single risers for the other two, giving me a 6 GPU rig?
Let me know if anyone has used these types of cards. What I've read online is that the number of PCIE lanes is the key limited factor.
