Gigabyte XKT-1155 Z68AP-D3

I see it has 2X full Pcie X16 where I could put in 2cards straight in, and It also has 3X Pcie X1  Ports, So I could just use x1 to x16 Raisers Like these in picture and install 3 more videocards on the same board?

So would it be possible to actually run 5videocards at same time with this motherboard?

I would be running a mix of 5850 and 5870 cards,
and any problems you may think of I might have?

With it being a much older board it might have problems running all those cards but it is worth a shot you never know what will happen with mining.
