Title: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 - Can i run 3 GPUs on this board? Post by: yogabba on February 09, 2014, 10:39:27 PM Hi,
pretty simple question. Can i run 3 r9 280x without risers on this board? http://www.amazon.com/P8Z68-V-PRO-GEN3-Intel-Motherboard/dp/B005UDITPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391985419&sr=8-1&keywords=ASUS+P8Z68-V+PRO%2FGEN3 (http://www.amazon.com/P8Z68-V-PRO-GEN3-Intel-Motherboard/dp/B005UDITPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391985419&sr=8-1&keywords=ASUS+P8Z68-V+PRO%2FGEN3) I can get it for around 90€. And if not, could you recommend me one? Intel Socket 1155, because i already have a spare cpu. Thanks in advance. Title: Re: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 - Can i run 3 GPUs on this board?

Risers are preferred. If you find 2 slot cards you can run them without risers, if they are not in a case. They will run somewhat hot though. They will be blowing hot air on each other, so make sure to have a box fan or something similar mounted behind them.
I hope the gist you get out of this is you should get some risers. |
