Hello Toasty,
I hope once you have all of your required parts/orders your setup goes smooth!
Questions:
- My motherboard works, since it has 2 PCIe slots, correct? Yes, your motherboard will work just fine with this DMA card. I took a photo and outlined the install slot in red.
- Does this DMA card work? You should have no issues with the MVPDMA it is pcileech compatible. - support will know for sure.
- Do i need to get anything beyond those 2 things? (I saw a store page with firmware for DMA but dk what that's for) You do need either pool or custom FW for you DMA card device, the FW is designed/configured to help prevent detection. If you are wanting to go a step further and limit possible account bans I would go for the custom FW. The main difference is in the pool firmware a number of users will be using the same CFG as you, if they get detected you get detected. With custom you have a unique CFG only for your device and greatly limits detection capabilities.
I hope I was a little helpful! I know one of the guys from clutch will have better answers soon and teach me a thing or two also.
