Thx, aliens and Burninj. I'm successfully launched using hotplugged riser and selecting PCI-E gen 2 in bios.
hotplug? what bios version?
hotplug on all except main, bios A30
you should at least see them in bios
Using all x1-x16 except main GPU (first x16 slot).
hotplug? what bios version? Z87-G55 confirmed to work with 7x R9 290 (using modded driver from https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=11761.0) with Windows 8.1:
What kind of risers you used? This mobo can't work with x1 risers in the x16 slots. Doesn't it? ...
The only way is use the x16-x16 risers?

and disable everything that is not needed in bios as well
gen 1, gen 2 , gen 3 - all not working.and disable everything that is not needed in bios as well
The only way is use the x16-x16 risers?

Getting some blackscreens sometimes though, either when shutting down, booting up or closing the miner. Can't figure out why yet.

No shorting
z87 g45 confirmed working with 7 R9 280x cards. z87 g55 and z87 mpower should work fine too.
Rig config :
- windows 8.1
- lbr modified 13.12 amd drivers
- All cards on 1x 16x usb risers.

Burninj, on the z87 g45, did you have to short any of the pins in the PCI-e slots to get all 7 GPUs to work/be recognized?

z87 g45 don't have 7 pci e
btw what is the best card with 6 pci e slot? i don't need the risers, i'm planning to do a different kinda of mining
Pretty sure it does have 7 PCI-E, both the MSI official page as well as the pictures of it confirm it:

Currently each card seems to pull a max of 25-30W per PCIe out of the board + 240-250W out of the 6/8 pin power connectors, measured at the wall. Temps are 75-85 while mining at about 810 kh/s (underclocked core clock to 900/1250).
Keep those cards cooled well. Without risers there is no room for fresh air, the cards will not last very long.
The board won't last long either.

Good luck burning the board. Stop trying to save every penny on this.
5 to 6 card builds are best.
Thanks for the list though.

Currently doing 3 Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X on all 16x slots due to lack of risers with no problem. Hope to get some within a week.
