Any risers which do PCI Express with more lanes?

What's the model so I can search elsewhere? 

When I open the page it says the same thing but if I scroll down with my mouse it shows the part and the model name an number

Model NumberIO1039

Brand Nameh1111z

Item1 to 8 PCIe Miner Machine Graphics Card Extension Card

I finally found my copy of that type of card.  It has no brand name on it.  It does say PCB_PCBIE-TRA  and SN PCIE_TRA-RevA 17_07_22 on it.

Still need to confirm it is working or at least not smoking :)

It does look like you can get a 6-port version of that card but it only has a 1x PCIe connector rather than the whole slot and I am not certain if it has the PLX chip which does the magic of consolidating the different ports into fewer lanes.

I pasted that into Ebay and it only came up with a 7 port, which is PCI-E 1x.    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273039742631

If it only has a 1x PCI-E connector, it must have a chip to multiplex it.

Are you sure yours actually uses the whole slot?  Can you see tracks on the PCB leading to the whoile length of the slot?  Or if it's 8x, I guess half the slot.

Looks good, apart from the

Looks good, apart from the "does not ship to United Kingdom"!

I'm assuming that fan means it's doing more work on the x4 version and passing all the lanes.

I wonder how it shares 4 lanes between 6..... weird combination.  I could understand 4 to 8.

It claims 5GB/sec (if they indeed mean bytes, that's PCI-E v3, they're normally v2).

Peter, If you look it up

Peter,

If you look it up on eBay using the name of the product not the URL I posted, using the UK version of the website it may ship to the UK.

Agreed getting a known working one is far better than getting one with pretty pictures

I think everything has slowed down to the point that I will have time to test the board tomorrow.  If it appears to be working I will be shipping it to Peter.
