Title: Motherboard recommendation for i5 with 3x GPU? Post by: knite on April 13, 2013, 09:33:55 PM I'm building a gaming desktop that will also be used for mining. I've picked up 3x 7950s for the GPUs, and will be going with an Intel i5 for the CPU.
I've done a lot of searching here, but all of the recommendations are for cheap boards being used for mining-only rigs. Which motherboards are good for both "power user/gamer" use and mining use?

If you still have extra money to burn, go for asus rog http://rog.asus.com/ Title: Re: Motherboard recommendation for i5 with 3x GPU? Post by: middlemarkal on April 14, 2013, 08:01:02 PM your case is more important than the mobo. you will need a lot of fans to keep 3 7950 cool. ;D
