    Just made that one up but it was based on another Frankenstein-like setup another user in a beta testing group was using that I don’t remember the specifics of. His issues started getting mostly ignored until he upgraded his system to something more normal lol.

      Haha gotcha. I’ll be honest that’d be a brilliant hack if someone managed to make it work.

        Impressive engineering, but it comes with a curse.

        Where it gets messy is you’d need to supply power on the PCIe rail as well as any extra plugs the GPU needs without powering on the system itself. And then even messier if someone powers on that system. Mad scientist shit.
