Title: Asrock Extreme4 970 Mobo help???? Post by: ibrahim11 on December 25, 2013, 12:01:39 AM Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but does someone know how many radeon 7850's would fit on an Asrock Extreme4 970 Motherboard?
If 7850 is not a good option then which gpu should i get? thanks Title: Re: Asrock Extreme4 970 Mobo help???? Post by: jytou on December 25, 2013, 12:11:05 AM I have this Mobo, and it's running right now with 2 7990. I'm planning to add another card in it, but I need to build a special case for all cards to fit in. Basically, the main problem with this card is that it has a lot of PCIe interfaces, but then you have to fit all the cards so that they don't overheat, so you'll need risers and to build a special case for it, unless you live in a very cold country and you don't mind having the machine sitting somewhere in the cold. You can actually fit 5 graphics cards on this Mobo (with riser adapters from 1x to 16x for 2 cards, it's enough to mine), the main problem you'll face is heat dissipation from the cards.
