Not bad.  With the GPU's being so close on this type of Motherboard, I think you should have an option to mount fans behind the cards to push fresh air on them and not block the exhaust on the GPU's.

You will have the option to mount the fan beam at either end of the motherboard along with getting another fan support beam for push/pull cooling.

The FS thread for an open-air frame is now up.

The molex plugs are labeled POUT1-3. What does POUT mean? Do you need to power all 6 plugs?

they are input along with the sata.

3 sata input and 3 molex input.

I have yet to get the 8 slot to boot but I will play with it more.


my thread has info on all three boards.
So you do need to have all 6 powered?

yeah  I have 1 card running read the link

I just had the larger version arrive today.
I will be giving measurements to spots wood and he may be able to offer medium size  6 gpu and supersize 8 gpu case/racks

Once I get this larger board running I may order 10-15 boards

right off the bat the first card will need to be short to clear the 24 pin plug.
found this out today when testing this big board


Phill where can I buy one of those bada$$ boards

You power all the 6pins on the short end with your power supply and then all the 6pins on the long side attach to your GPU's to power them.  I think it just uses a 4pin power at the other end of the board to power everything else.

Colorful have a similar board - http://en.colorful.cn/product_show.aspx?mid=102&id=462. But where is the 24 pin and why does it have 16 auxiliary PCI-E power plugs?
