Title: Re: MSI Radeon R9 280X TwinFrozr IV GAMING OC 3GB GDDR5 Post by: crazyates on December 28, 2013, 10:19:49 PM I have that UD5. I've only ever had 3 GPUs with it, but IIRC other people have had 4-5 GPUs on it with no issues.
The only problem I've ever had with this board is on my gaming rig, I couldn't overclock the CPU. Well I could OC, but the vdroop was so bad I had to jack the voltages up way too high, and then the temps were unmanageable. But that has nothing to do with mining, so I digress.

One has four R9 290x, the other has four 7950. All on powered risers.
AMD 13.12 Catalyst. compiled cgminer with ADL code removed. Title: Re: MSI Radeon R9 280X TwinFrozr IV GAMING OC 3GB GDDR5 Post by: hakeriukasx on December 30, 2013, 12:34:44 AM what kind of power supply you use for 4 gpus?

R9 290x: 1200W for first three, 550W for the fourth one. The rig pulls 1200W from the wall. For my next build, I'd use 1000W for first three+mobo and 850W for the next three.
