PCIe 1-to-7 USB 3.0 riser card

This PCIe 1-to-7 riser card plugs directly into a motherboard PCIe 1X slot and provides seven USB 3.0 ports for connecting multiple GPU risers. It is designed for builders assembling high-density mining rigs or compute clusters that need many cards from a single slot. The board includes an IC heat radiator and draws power from the PCIe slot itself, so no extra power cable is required.

USB 3.0 bandwidth shared across seven ports

The seven USB 3.0 connectors share the throughput of the single upstream PCIe 1X link, so aggregate bandwidth is limited to that lane’s capacity. Each attached riser receives a fraction of the total throughput, which constrains performance when several GPUs run simultaneously. The gold-plated USB 3.0 ports improve signal stability compared with standard connectors, but they do not increase the underlying lane bandwidth.

Direct slot mounting with fixed orientation

The card seats straight into the PCIe 1X slot without a flexible extender cable and can be screwed to the chassis for a rigid installation. Only one cable runs from the motherboard to the card, simplifying cable routing. Installers must align the connector carefully; forcing it in the wrong direction or offset can damage pins or burn components, so the socket should be engaged gently and fully before securing the board.
