Topic: Motherboard for 4+ GPUs - page 2. (Read 3568 times)
Well, that would add another 100$ to the rig + more maintenance. If a good a sub 150$ mobo that will handle 4 GPUs is too much asking, I'd rather get a sub 200$ one. I saw some cool rigs with 4 GPUs on the same board, only it was intel sockets or expensive AM3 ones. But I totally understand what you say, I did think about it
I think you're asking for trouble 
Why not just get 2 cheap computers, with good power supplies?

Hey!
Since I just registered an account on bitcointalk, I can't post this anywhere else
. Anyways.
So I am looking to build my first mining rig, probably for litecoin, and will be purchasing 4 7950s. I wanted to know which motherboard are known to work with 4 GPUs. I know litecoin mining uses a lot of the ram thus GPUs pumping more power from the motherboard. I read some horror stories where one's motherboard would burst into flames because of that so if I had a 5th PCIe slot on the motherboard, I would definitely use it as a power riser. I will be buying a cheap Athlon cpu so it needs to be a AM3 socket.
So, anybody mining with 4 GPUs on the same motherboard? If so, which model (if it is AM3 socket)? Bitcoin or litecoin mining? Are you using power riser?
Thx
edit: I would like to pay under 150$ but even if your's is higher, I'd like to know !!
