PCIe Bifurcation Motherboards?

[aquelito]

This Supermicro Riser has a 6-Pin connector :

True, but there doesn't appear to be a version of it with the slots coming out the other direction.

thanks a lot!
I have received lot of help in pm's.
finally I will get mine through Aibohphobia.

C_Payne on HardOCP has made is own custom bifurcation riser for the RVZ01, and is selling them directly through eBay. It's a rigid riser rather than a flex riser, and not the most compact design, but if you have space it's a more available choice than the Ameri-Rack risers.

This will not work in the S4 Mini, however.

Asrock X370 ITX/ac support PCIe bifurcation and with a little bit of tweaking you can also get SLI to run
No artefacts, no funny business

Mind you this was no apples to apples comparison as I only have 7700k benchmarks to compare against... and I can't be bothered to set this up on an ATX X370 board ... but the performance diff is consistent.

Are you planning to either detail the tweak or release it?

Yep I'll write it up shortly.

Woohoo!

Hey guys, sorry to slightly highjack the thread here, although may be nice to revive it, as this is an interesting area for SFF guys.

So I did a build:
CASE: Corsair Crystal 460x
MOBO: mITX motherboard(GA Z170N Gaming 5).
GPU: GA GTX 1070 FTW

I started getting into smaller scale mining and realized a ran into a problem when I thought I could SLI another GPU on this mobo.. clearly I was wrong.

Is there a way to run a PCIe Bifurication//Splitter//Riser to allow connecting another EVGA GTX 1070 FTW?
Motherboard Native Graphics interface is PCIe 3.0 x16

Help would be greatly appreciated

Yes, I believe it does need a firmware update, the second latest 2.30: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z87E-ITX/?cat=Download&os=BIOS
I do have the customized 2.50 available to enable Bifurcation if you ever get around to it.

Would you be so kind and share that firmware (2.50) for z87e-itx with me?

Hello, could you send me the BIOS if you still have it? I would like to give my old board a second life with a bifurcation adapter and some NVMe storage. Thank you very much!
