philstyle Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I have a server box (an older dell T3600) which we used to use at Storm of War for running a Cliffs of Dover server. Unfortunately it does not have space internally for a modern GPU to physically fit - which (in practice) we need to run a DCS server. I also have a 980Ti spare which I'd like to connect to this server box. Is anyone aware of any external solution available such as a mount + cabling that could allow me to sit the GPU external to the case, and then just run cables into the case for connections to the relevant slots/ PCIE ports on the Mobo?

BitMaster Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 There are tons of those PCIe-x16 Riser Adapter kits floating around for miners. Yeah, get one of those and mount it wherever it fits. This a link for such a device from caseking.de Do NOT take the ones with USB, you want a full x16-x16 Pass-through https://www.caseking.de/kolink-pci-express-x16-auf-x16-riser-kabel-inkl.-molex-stromkabel-19cm-zurc-002.html?wt_mc=preisvergleich.googleshopping.feed&gclid=CjwKCAjwxZnYBRAVEiwANMTRX92rV9qVcXpB_8bwyGFAkZorFpu_SF1agfHXlztnJa2Jd-gpyt_VvRoCt5YQAvD_BwE Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus XG27ACG QHD 180Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X
