Never used the mobo before, you gotta try it out yourself to see how many card the mobo can detect, you can use riser to get better cooling too, I have a gigabyte mobo here that's only detecting 4 graphic cards and the mobo has 6 gpu slots, I've tried all I could but no luck so far

You can also try 1-4 plex adapter that goes in a slot and provides connection to 4 risers. Again limited by chipset and pcie lanes but they work i have several different models in use..Cheapest easiet to try

I don't know how they build this thing but are you sure using it in one PCIe slot won't do any damage? Drawing watts across over two GPUs in a single pcie slot don't sound safe to me

It has six gpu slots but you can't really tell until you insert 6x GPUs in the motherboard, some MOBO will have 6x space for gpu and the MOBO will fail to recognize all the graphic cards, if that happens well you can change gen mode in bios and try risers but if none of that works you will have to accept whatever the MOBO allows on board

Hi guys,

i found out my X99 Deluxe actually has 5x PCI full size Slots and one Small PCI-E Slot,

https://dlcdnimgs.asus.com/websites/global/products/WodJPah7ECKFSsxv/img/hp/overview/overview-full.png

my question here will this board support 6x GPUs for mining or just 5x ?...

can a gpu be hooked up through a riser to the Small PCI-E Slot or not ??...

thanks,

Six slots are available on the motherboard so why asking how many gpus it will support? The PCIe slots are very close to each other though and I think that's a bad idea for mining, you will need to get risers to mine safely on that motherboard

i have little brother of that msi x79 with 3930k, im not able test 5 or 6 gpus because i dont have any space left on my desk. this is my working pc. 4 gpus are working fine so far. Main gpu on 1st 16x slot i need it because these guys dont have onboard vga. rest 3 gpus connected via risers. works no issue.

untill you are run out of pci-e lanes, but with x1 risers I guess all.

Every PCI-E slot can be used. + you can use m2 slots. If you want to mine inserting GPUs in mb - you will get problems with cooling. And in this way you can use only 5 GPUs. It will be easy to buy risers, cheap mb and to construct a rig.

You're going to need risers, but if you had 6 risers, I see no reason it wouldn't support 6 gpus? However, without risers, the gpus will take up multiple slots, so you'll likely only get 2-3 cards depending on which cards you try to use
