Has anyone tried this board? http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-890FXA-UD7-rev-20#ov (http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-890FXA-UD7-rev-20#ov) Got one lying around, gonna try and mount some GPU's 8) Title: Re: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Post by: Raja_MBZ on February 19, 2017, 01:26:29 PM I haven't tried it, but after looking at the specifications and images, I should say that it'd work out pretty good.
Just don't forget to use USB risers with it. Title: Re: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Post by: LoneRangir on February 20, 2017, 02:29:19 AM I have the 990FXA version of that board. I recently bought it used on ebay with a cpu and cooler included. I just recently got it (sorta) working with W7 and 6 cards via risers. I used the W7 registry hack. I had 4 x 480s and 2 x 470s consuming about 1010 watts, using a 1200 watt PSU. It ran fine for about 10 hours and then crashed. Problem after problem ensued. I'm sure if I got to aggressive with undervolting, or if the 1010W of 1200W is just not enough margin. I'm keeping life simple for now, too much down time. I rolled back to just the 4 x 480s. They pull about 730 watts (ETH).
I'll be curious to hear your experience. I'm a bit disheartened at the moment... ??? Title: Re: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Post by: Pennywis3 on February 20, 2017, 11:12:43 AM I just started to test it, but still waiting for the cards, so atm only one Rx 480 directly on the mobo, working ok.
Im gonna probably make a 4 GPU rig, without risers, i got this Case that supports XL-ATX mobos and has plenty of room for 4 cards, so i probably can't be very usefull to ya :) Title: Re: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Post by: krasnolud on June 11, 2017, 05:29:33 PM Pennywis3, did you made the 4 GPU rig based on this mobo?
Raja_MBZ, why USB risers? Regular risers (poweres) won't do? Title: Re: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Post by: Pennywis3 on June 12, 2017, 06:03:45 AM Hi!
Only have 3x RX480 running on this board, directly attached, no riser. I didn't attach the 4th card becase they are too close to each other. Its very stable, no crashes or weird things going on, probably because no risers are involved ;D Title: Re: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Post by: krasnolud on June 12, 2017, 12:45:32 PM Hi Pennywis3,
Thanks! Your cards would love more space thanks to risers - and three more brothers in the house! ;) |
