SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Gold-Plated PCIe 1 to 2 Riser Card with USB3.0 Hub

SKU CH-Z5BJ-6TX43

Expands one PCIe X1 slot into two X16 ports with a built-in USB 3.0 hub for multi-GPU mining rigs

  • Gold-plated contacts cut resistance and signal loss for stable mining
  • 1-to-2 split turns one PCIe X1 slot into two X16 ports for extra GPUs
  • Built-in USB 3.0 hub tidies internal wiring in multi-card rigs
  • Flexible riser design fits standard ATX open-air mining frames
  • Works with mainstream AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards for crypto setups

Gold-Plated PCIe 1-to-2 Riser with USB3.0 Hub

This adapter expands a single PCIe X1 slot into two full-size PCIe X16 ports, letting miners mount multiple graphics cards on one motherboard. Gold-plated contact pins lower resistance and signal loss for stable operation. An integrated USB3.0 hub keeps internal cabling tidy in multi-GPU rigs. It fits standard open-air mining frames and DIY chassis.

For multi-GPU mining rigs needing slot expansion

Builders assembling BTC or cryptocurrency mining rigs on mainstream AMD and NVIDIA cards will benefit from the extra X16 interfaces and simplified wiring. The card is not suited for systems that require a direct X16 link for maximum bandwidth or for general-purpose desktop expansion where only one GPU is installed.

1-to-2 PCIe X1-to-X16 split with USB3.0 hub

The defining specification is the single X1 slot multiplied into two X16 connectors plus an onboard USB3.0 hub. This determines whether your motherboard layout and mining frame can accommodate the extra cards and cabling. Verify slot spacing and power delivery before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the built-in USB 3.0 hub add noticeable heat when the riser runs continuously?

The adapter uses gold-plated contacts to reduce resistance and signal loss, which helps limit extra heat during extended mining sessions.

What motherboard slot and GPU power connections are required for the 1-to-2 PCIe X16 expansion?

A single PCIe X1 slot on the motherboard is needed, and each graphics card must receive its own auxiliary power from the PSU.

Will older GPUs that only support PCIe 2.0 work reliably on the two X16 ports?

The riser is compatible with mainstream AMD and NVIDIA cards, and the gold-plated contacts maintain stable connectivity across PCIe generations.
