Online docs say that when a x4 card is in the second x16 slot one of the x1 slots becomes unavailable. But if you run this board with 3 x1 extenders and a x16 extender will 4 GPUs work?

Unfortunately out of the boards available in my country this is the only one I've found that has 4 slots for a reasonable price. I don't want to be forced into a high end board.

Anyone using this board with hands on experience mining can add input?

Thx.

Edit: Also see a local shop with GA970A-D3 - this has 5 slots and doesn't have a tech note about sharing bandwidth. Maybe this board is a better bet...? I gather that the 970 is a newer chipset.
