what kind of power supply you use for  4 gpus?


R9 290x: 1200W for first three, 550W for the fourth one.  The rig pulls 1200W from the wall.

For my next build, I'd use 1000W for first three+mobo and 850W for the next three.

I have that UD5. I've only ever had 3 GPUs with it, but IIRC other people have had 4-5 GPUs on it with no issues.

The only problem I've ever had with this board is on my gaming rig, I couldn't overclock the CPU. Well I could OC, but the vdroop was so bad I had to jack the voltages up way too high, and then the temps were unmanageable. But that has nothing to do with mining, so I digress.
