    PCIE Bifurcation

    Thanks, couldn't have done it without the extensive development y'all put in! Per jb1's comments: Yeah I thought the same thing, but 1. there's no guarantee that AMD will issue an updated Nano (though I'd snap it up in a second if they did!), and 2. it would need to be absolutely NO bigger...

    PCIE Bifurcation

    Ok, so it took some time (mostly waiting for the case to finally arrive), plus a hacksaw, a pair of garden shears, and two wine corks, but I was finally able to build my Dan A4 bifurcated dual Nano machine. This is small enough to fit behind my wife's 13" MacBook Air! Note that this...

    heb1001, yes, it is a PCI-E 2.0 splitter, and it didn't fit in the case anyway, so I replaced it with the Ameri-rack splitter. psychic_quark, i was able to buy one after I talked with sales and reassured them that I wasn't going to steal their patent-pending design. They're just worried that...

    That's a good question. I'm using the RSC-R2UT-2E8R. But this is a problem because this splitter's PCB is definitely too long to fit in the Dan A4. Last I checked, the flexible Amerirack splitter, the only other one I've seen tested on this thread, was no longer being sold. Do you know of...

    Hi team, it's been a second but I had a chance to run some compute benchmarks (CompuBench OpenCL) so I figured I'd check back. First off, someone asked about the riser I was using. It's the Lian Li PW-PCI-E38-1. It's $80, so not cheap, but not as crazy expensive as the 3M risers. It seems it's...

    Hi team! Thanks to your help, my bifurcated dual-Nano system is up and running! It turned out EdZ was right - the riser cable was the problem. I had tested it by itself prior to installing the dual Nanos, and it was fine. But in the course of unsuccessfully trying to cram the dual Nanos into...

    Hi team, I was inspired by chemist_slime's success to roll my own mITX dual R9 Nano machine. I mostly do engineering simulation and rendering, not gaming, but this sounded like a cool way to build a cheap-ish parallel processing powerhouse in a really small enclosure. So I don't need Crossfire...
