Topic: ASUS F2A85-V Pro vs. ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0 (Read 2660 times)
No replies? Well, I'll risk it and go with the ASUS F2A85-V Pro then and see how it works.
I'm planning on building a 3x7970 mining rig using either the ASUS F2A85-V Pro motherboard or the ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0. Does anybody have experience using these boards with all three x16 slots populated with 7970's without using risers? My plan is to remove the side panels from the case to improve cooling with a walmart boxfan 
It looks like the ASUS F2A85-V Pro has explicit support for tripple GPU configurations, but will the onboard video complicate things? I should note that I will be using Linux on this system and not windows.
