Run more rigs with less cards. Trust me, much easier and more efficient. Those who say different have not done both.

Certainly much easier and less likely to blow up. Whether more efficient is open to debate. Motherboards costs money.

and ... how many GHS will this do?

Motherboard does not do hashes... That's based of number and model of your GPU Smiley

6 gpu at 700 = 0.0042 GHS or did you mean 4200 MHS?

The MSI 990FXA-GD65V2 supports 6 GPU, and has dedicated power plug for powering pci-e slots. No more burned ATX power connector. Getting all 6 GPU to mine is the responsibility of the OS and drivers.

Like pletharoe says, although it supports 7 cards, I wouldn't recommend sticking 7 in unless you want to start a fire. You really need to get into advanced cooling techniques if you want to run 7 cards from one motherboard.
One other reason for spreading your GPUs over several motherboards is for diversity of your mining power.

If you have all your GPUs in one board and it fails you have lost 100% of the mining capability.

Have the same GPUs spread over 3 motheboards and loose one motherboard, you still have 66.6% of your mining capability running, bringing in an income while you make repairs to the broken rig.

Yes it works with Windows (you'll be hard pushed to find a mobo which won't)

Yes it will accept 7 GPUs (like many many other mobos with 7 PCI-E slots)

Yes, they will all overheat because they're too close together (buy yourself powered PCI-E risers for all the cards and find a way of giving them more space)

Don't forget about power - you'll need a behemoth of a PSU to run 7 GPUs.

I don't see many cards that have even four PCIE slots, but I am hearing some people put up to six on a single board! How is this possible? Which boards will work? Thanks!  Huh
