Title: Old Socket 775 Mobo..
Post by: SuperDerpBro on November 08, 2017, 06:11:27 AM
I have 4 1060s here with a power supply in the mail. I happen to have an old ga-ep45-ud3r with e8400 and 8GB RAM. What are my chances it will even boot with 4 GPUs attached (with risers of course)?

you need setup win7, win8, win10 64 bit (pls check your mainboard and cpu support)

Chances are, you can get to boot the 4GPU, otherwise, you can only do it with 2-3 only. Install this one at a time, and you must have a decent PSU.

its a 64bit cpu
I will recommend using windows 7 64bit latest version for best support
windows 7 works the best with older motherboard

your mob has one x16 pcie and three x1 pcie so with a little bit bios modding
it should support 4 gpus
get a psu with gold rating
like seasonic 750w gold or corsair rm750x

4 GPU should work fine with those parts.  Good luck.

I mine with old AM2 mobo (AMD Phenom) with 3 cards - without any problems.

Cool. Thanks. I was just worried an old board might not want to do it. So, decided to try it first before buying new MB/CPU/RAM. Shorter ROI heh :D
