Name one legitimate use case for that.
A hundred usb dildos in your ass don't count.

But can you plug USB miners into those ports?

>>61818987
Could the board even support that many USB 3.1's transferring data at full capacity?

>>61819172
kek

>>61819260
Pretty sure that only comes into play when you're talking about on-board USB, not add-in boards that go right into the PCIe slots.

>>61819260
Those are not USB 3.1.

They're just USB ports where you can connect a PCIe x1 adapter.

>>61819342
They're blue which suggests they support USB 3.0 spec.

I doubt the PCIe links have enough bandwidth for all of those though.

5gbps per port, 13 ports per card, 8 cards, ~100 USB ports. That's 500gbps at max throughput.

And that's just not happening over PCIe, with PCIe 3.0 each PCIe lane can transfer 985MB/s (bidirectionally). The B250 chipset supports 12 PCIe 3.0 lanes the CPU will give you another 16 PCIe lanes. that's 28 total lanes.

985 MB/s is 7880 Mbps
28 * 7880 is 220640 Mbps
or 220.64 Gbps total PCIe bandwidth.


tldr, you'd get at MOST ~220Gbps (about half the total maximum throughput for that many USB 3.0 ports)

>>61819552
They're blue but they don't support anything except PCI Express.
USB 3.0 ports are used because the PCIe needs the extra pins.

>>61819552
If there's no USB controller, then the blue suggests that they used blue plastic.

>>61819575
Considering you can't see the front of the cards, you have no idea if they've got a USB controller or not.

Sigh... no coiner fags don't understand there is a chip on that board like a PCI lane switcher, it allows many devices to use one pic slot.


There are many pic express to 3 pic express cards on eBay, this is just that idea on crack.

granted ir probably won't work unless you do have a dedicated mining motherboard.

>A hundred usb dildos in your ass don't count.
There are 101 usb ports there, actually..

>>61819257
they're not for USB miners
you can run PCI-e over USB, so miners get a bunch of PCI slots that they plug into these cards. It's good because you can plug many GPUs into limited slots, and you can spread them out to dissipate heat much easier.

>>61820886
>over USB cables
ftfy

>>61821031
You don't, because they're only USB ports at the physical layer, and that just for the cheap commodity connectors and cables. Above that, each port is actually a x1 PCIe lane.

amd drivers
if you put dummy plugs into every third card and do a basic driver install via device manager (using the official installer just to unpack the driver for you and then using dm to install the drivers manually , you only need it to do once as windows sees the other cards to be the same/supported device id and installs it automatically)

Using USB connectors for PCI-e signalling is bound to reduce the bandwidth of that signal. It's not made for it at all.

What do root hubs have to do with PCIe over USB cabling?

>>61824139

The signalling standards and bandwidth requirements are quite similar. Also, it's not as if you need a whole lot of bandwidth for mining.

>>61819110
Usb ports for asics probably

>>61824434
No its for PCIe riser cards which more often than not repurposes USB 3 ports/cables because there cheap, available, somewhat compact and slimline and do a decent enough job at transmission of PCIe

Ultimate performance with ready boost raid

>>61824381
I think you replied to the wrong person, but:
The OS won't see them as separate PCI devices.

It can work for USB devices, but not PCI ones like those x1 to x16 risers that use a USB cable but aren't true USB.

>>61824859
There are PCIe switch/multiplier chips that do allow you to use multiple devices on a 1x slot and have them recognized independent GPUs. Problem is that some motherboards/BIOSs/Drivers have issues with stupid amounts of devices outside of what is normal.
104 GPUs on a single motherboard is possible is mainly software limits that will hold you back

>>61818987
What the fuck motherboard model is that? If you look closely, the first row of PCI-e connectors has 3 connectors while every other picture on google images returns with either 2 or 1 connector on the first row. Please explain.... what the fuck.

>>61824859
Indeed, I did reply to the wrong person.
I thought those were plain old PCIe lanes over USB cabling wired to a plain old PCIe switch, where endpoint devices would enumerate as functions with address allocations just like any other, but I've never used one so I don't speak from experience.

>>61825155
New version of the same model motherboard I can only guess with MOAR pcie slots.

>>61825176
Yes that's basically how these risers work.

It's not real USB. You can't plug a USB device in for it to be recognized. It's PCI over the cable.
You generally can't just split an x16 lane into 16 x1 because the chipset and/or UEFI doesn't support that.

I'm guessing these are actual USB hubs to plug USB devices in. Not GPU mining.

>>61823422
wat.png?
they support 7/8/8.1/10

>>61825328
It only supports 8 GPUs on PC Windows, is clearly what I was saying.
On Linux or Windows Server their driver supports more.

No, it's PCI-Express, as I've been saying. BIG difference.

That's not what they do. Pic related.

It's a differential signal, it doesn't give a fuck as long as it goes over the pair of wires. They could've used SATA cables with the same result, but their connectors are not made to be plugged/unplugged all the time, unlike USB.
