Topic: GPU motherboard question (Read 1694 times)
I had no problems with my Asrock pro btc and am still using it for my computer currently. Works great for me with risers.
I really like the idea of H61 Pro BTC mobo, but reading reviews on newegg, I don't want to experience issues with it
You are on the right track. I know I have 2 of those boards in my parts from GPU days. They were a little bit of a pain, i had good luck with powered risers. With using unpowered it had trouble running with a full board of cards even with it's two molex power for cards.

I'm trying to research motherboards that can drive 6 GPUs and came across this:

anyone know if this should be able to drive 6 GPUs with those extension cables?
and no, this isn't to mine btc etc. it's for another purpose, but I still could use some input from you guys who've built these rigs before.
thanks!

As an alternative, the following is an identical 990FX-based MSI mobo (I have this in one of my rigs) except it has four PCIe 2.0 x16 slots instead of only two. It accommodates up to three double-slot GPUs (the rest on risers as others have already mentioned):

Looks like it ought to, if you can grab some decent x1 riser cables. Is it going to be a graphics rig, or a computation rig? X1 socket bandwidth won't be enough for high-performance graphics but if you have a long algorithm computation it's fine.
not graphics, just BURST plotting using GPUs and different alt coin algos when not plotting.
Might need some powered risers with 6 cards. I have not used them for a while with GPU mining pretty much dead. There are some very nice risers that use USB and get you some extra space. With 6 cards having some extra space to spread them from each other is nice. Then use some kind of fan to push air though (assuming it is getting hot)
