Hi there, I was wondering if it would be possible to use the 2 PCIE 3.0 1x slots on my b250m for mining? I would use a 1x to 16x riser if that's doable. Also, is it possible now to mine bitcoin on a 3060? I was thinking of picking 2 of them up to populate those 1x slots if this is in fact possible, and I would use NiceHash for mining.

Thanks,

I dont mine (yet), but I think 1x is fine,
Also I think thee was hack to 3060 mining, and it was a certain driver you needed.
Im sure someone here will comment and be more clear.
