Title: 4 Card motherboard Post by: Genrobo on June 02, 2011, 07:00:17 PM What's the cheapest motherboard than I can mine with 4 cards on?
Including via PCI-E 1X slots I want a board that is known to work this way, because some boards have issues using both 1x and 16x slots simultaneously.

Ok I'll try to make a list, these are either motherboard with 4xPCI-e or can be used to mine with 4xGPU using risers: -MSI 890FXA-GD70 -MSI 990FXA-GD80 -BIOSTAR TA890FXE AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard -gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 -Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 (need extenders for dual slot GPUs) (all found on this forum, just use as a reference, no guarantees!)

Title: Re: 4 Card motherboard Post by: Dyaheon on June 09, 2011, 12:11:28 PM MSI 790FX-GD70 if you can find it. Doesn't need adapters, is cheap and high quality. But it's last gen, so might be hard to find now.
Title: Re: 4 Card motherboard Post by: Meatball on June 09, 2011, 12:30:47 PM I'm using the MSI 890FXA-GD70 and been happy with it. It's not cheap and it's got 4 full PCI slots, so no extenders are needed. I'm _sure_ you can get a cheaper board with 4 slots including the 1x ones much cheaper, just don't forget to add in the cost of the extenders to your comparison against the boards with 4 full slots.

Thanks :) Title: Re: 4 Card motherboard Post by: dingus on June 09, 2011, 08:56:27 PM If you're going to do a quad gpu setup, I wouldn't slack on the quality of the motherboard.
