I've seen a few articles with 460s that have single slot coolers. Are there any mobos (other than expensive server ones) that have more than 4 x16 slots?

Now I understand why this was a fun build, Philip.
Thanks for the pictures - it explains alot.
Very clean and the Biostar mobo is still my fav because i can even get the on/off button simplified.
I think this is really the smallest powered 4xGPU rig I have ever seen under 500w.
Nice work jiggy-rigging the CPU fan power cable!
Wait till I switch out the psu for this one.

It is ½ the size of the current psu. This will be really cool.
To all these rx 460 gpu builds are fun builds not for profit builds.
Hashing 300h using 220 watts makes money, but would take a really long time to roi maybe never.
A good 4 card rx 470 build does 600h using 395 watts and costs about 160-200 usd more.
Say 1000-1050 usd for 4 x rx 470
and 800-850 usd for 4 x 4x 460
I would prefer the 470. It has higher density. If it is possible, it is better to use the 480. But as you said, it is difficult to ROI now.
