Title: New gpu build--need mobo help for 1150
Post by: note235 on January 12, 2014, 05:19:46 AM
1150 build and would like to use 3-4 gpus.
I'm currently looking at these mobos

or

Will be using USB3 powered 1x risers

Any suggestions for mobos without requiring use of jumper cables?

If by jumpers your mean the presence pin on the pci-e, the 3.0 usb risers should already have the presence pin connection built in.

Yes, but there are 2 different styles of pci-e 3.0 risers.  The ones with the connector going off the back will not fit in a 16x slot.  Be sure to buy the ones that have the connector off of the top.
