Hey Guys

i just bought 5x 7950
Mb: 990FXA-GD65
PSU: 1600
3x riser 1x to 16x none powered
2x riser 16x to 16x none powered

so my question is its possible to get the +12v from Motherboard for all 5x gpu? should i have to get powered riser? i just confused so please let me kno what should i do Embarrassed

P.S: Btw i have a rig with 4x 7950 + 1350 PSu and just took + 12v from MB for all of them and it works with nonepowered riser card.

sorry for my bad english Grin

thanks

It really depends on your overclocking, I have seen people use 5 GPU without powered riser but I advise you to use about 2-3.

Im still quite noob so don't take my word for it, research it. As far as I gather I think you need power to the 1x to 16x risers. 16x to 16x should run power from the mobo.

Personally I would put them all on powered risers to take the power flow out from the motherboard and straight to the cards from the psu.
