Who said anything about windows...
Well i dont think windows even supports more than 6 GPUs so buying a 7 pcie slot mobo would be a waste.
Actually in the case of the MSI Z77A-G45 it's a hardware limitation, confirmed by MSI (check details in the link posted next to the board's name).
It might be more of a help to get the rest of the setup though. Many people are having issues geting 6x 290X working, where as 6x 7950 is easy. So its not so much a motherboard problem, as it is a software or BIOS ram problem.
I'm looking to build a 7 cards rig and I'm quite conflicted about what mainboard to get. There's scarce information about this as people usually try to limit their rigs to a maximum 6, so I've decided to make a short list of what I found on the interwebs during my research:
