Thanks!
Did not know what ann was now know what it is referring to the anniversary version from AsRock. OK!
Just getting my bearings in the mobo field and was interested in the mobo that can handle 7 GPU all at once and this one does not look like it can.
Will keep searching using your advice!
Thank you! Wink

If you want to pay an extra 100$ for an additional slot... there's a few ones that work, but i'm, not familiar with them. And some of them do not support 7 GPU it just has 7 slots, but some limitation prevent them from running 7 at the same time. Same thing apply to 6 gpus boards some dont do 6 and even have problems running 5.

Good luck in your search.

TLDR: Make sure the board you're going to buy was reported to run all 7 without issues.

Try to get the H97 Ann if you didnt mind buying from retail. (Or maybe someone bought too many H97s) The H81s are deprecated now Sad

Thanks VirosaGITS, as always good comments !

AmDD, you are right H81 are hard to find at a fair price.


I wanted to have all my MOBO the same. But you guys are right, I'll switch to the new gen. The H97 ann is on sale on newegg at 65$CAD after mail in rebate. I purchased a few in advance Wink


Link on those motherboards at that price?

They setup the same, so you wont feel out of your elements if you're used to H81. They have the same kinks, the same gpu enumeration order, behave the same way, etc. The differences (if you find any of them) are minor. Good luck with your new rigs Smiley

Hi, title says it all. I will pay shipping and escrow fees.

May also consider combo with CPU and RAM

are you interesting with Z87-G45 Gaming + G-skill 4GB the price 0.3btc, if you want to use for mining this mobo is best choice because you can use 7vga, where you come from? i will calculate the shipping fee.

I didnt know there was a board that supported 7 GPUs. Interesting....

OP, Id say good luck with getting the H81, even the H97 is tough to get at the moment. Newegg had them but went out of stock right before I bought. They are back now but are like $130.

you can ceck this

- The operating mode will be x16/ x0/ x0, x8/ x8/ x0, or x8/ x4/ x4. Please always install expansion card into the PCI_E2 “First”.

Thanks for your offer. This card including RAM and CPU even at 7 GPU is less cost effective than the Asrock ones.
