hi guys,

im planing to build 4 rigs with the following components.

mb MSI Z77A-G45 GAMING SERIE
psu Club 3d 1200w Silver (using that brand since 2 years)
4 MSI 7950 oc

my question is about the risers. im willing to use risers on all cards so i could control heat. shall i use powered or non powered riser?

So you're planning 4 GPUs per motherboard? You might want to use 1 or 2 powered risers per board if that's the case. I've run 3 GPUs per motherboard without powered risers, but many would recommend a powered riser for 4 or more cards.
