Hi,
Im making a setup,
That is 2 gtx 1070 + 3 gtx 1060 (motherboard asus z170 gaming pro, cpu i5 6600k)
The problem im facing at that time is,
I made mining case,
My setup is almost going to use for mining,98% mining 2% gaming at sunday,
Dont worry this thread is about gaming.
I wired all 5 gpus 1x to 16x pcie connector,
But after research ive found that 1x is mistake for gaming.
Some people told me to buy 16x adapter,
I have less knowledgr about it?
Can anyone tell me what should i do to provide full power performance to both gtx 1070?
May be 1x is enough for mining but crap for gaming so i want to make 2 gtx 1070 full powered and use for mining but as well as gaming advantage too.

If you want to provide me link of online shop of pcie cable please do me a favour give me link according to amazon.in

First, you should provide information on your current Motherboard. Without knowing what MB you currently have I can't recommend an appropriate configuration for what you have. Generally speaking x1 is definitely bad for gaming as one PCIe lane isn't fast enough to push the textures that your GPU will be producing. My recommendation is to take your 1070 and plug them into an x16 slot for the primary and the secondary usually goes into an x8 slot but that's just the scaling on GPU configurations on 90% of Motherboards. DO NOT ENABLE SLI as it will negatively affect your performance as it'd run in a quad SLI setup due to your other 1060's and essentially would downgrade your 1070's to a 1060 and only run PhysX which is confusing. As far as the adapter that you currently have it may be adapted to x16 but it still only has the bandwidth of x1. There is no way to make your x1 as fast as an x16 with any adapter. You need to have your main GPU plugged into an x16 or x8 at the very least. Within your mining software you can still configure the GPU's for what you want.

Thanks for help bro,
I just made mining rig case, because of heat issue, temp goes upto 88c when i put pcie x16 in coolermaster case,
Because of using x1 connectors temp and open mining setup temp went down to 65c
If i put 2 gpuz to both mobo lanes the temp will again goes up,
Theres isnt any 16x wire which provide full speed?
Like this one?
