Title: Motherboard with 3 PCIe x16 slots in positions 1, 4, and 7. Post by: glitch003 on January 30, 2012, 01:35:55 AM So I'm thinking about getting an HAF X case and a new motherboard and I want the ability to mine with 3 cards at once. There's lots of motherboards with 3 PCIe x16 slots, but they're usually in positions 1, 4, and 6 or alternately 1, 3, and 5 which doesn't leave an empty slot in between all the cards for cooling.
I know that when I run two cards in positions 1 and 3 the card in position 1 doesn't have enough air flow and gets super hot, so I want this new motherboard to have space in between the cards. Can anybody recommend a motherboard like this, with 3 PCIe slots in positions 1, 4, and 7? I saw a similar setup on the forums a while ago. Thanks!

I was trying to find cheaper alternatives, but the alternative can't be found anymore i think. Title: Re: Motherboard with 3 PCIe x16 slots in positions 1, 4, and 7. Post by: glitch003 on January 30, 2012, 02:16:41 AM Nice, thanks! You're right though, it sure is expensive.

I was trying to find cheaper alternatives, but the alternative can't be found anymore i think. so i see 5 slots on that mobo. could you insert 3 cards in slots 1,4 and 7, and then use PCI-e ribbon extenders to add a 4th and 5th card in an open architecture?

If you plan to use them, there are cheaper boards with 1 16x pcie and 4 1x pcie slots.

any new motherboards? 1155/1150 maybe? even old ones? I found only: dfi UT/LT 775 all models dfi 680i 775 dfi 790fx/gx am2/am3 ga890fxa-gd70 Title: Re: Motherboard with 3 PCIe x16 slots in positions 1, 4, and 7. Post by: freddyfarnsworth on January 01, 2014, 11:09:12 AM ASRock Extreme7 Gen3 v1.30 bios is for sandy or with v2.30+ Ivy cpus
Only x16x16x16 bandwidth board for triple SLI I ever found, not needed for Bitcoin. Try a old server on bay, some have 8x4x pcie for network cards with HUGE P/S cheap. Title: Re: Motherboard with 3 PCIe x16 slots in positions 1, 4, and 7. Post by: Quix on January 02, 2014, 04:59:38 AM is there such a card as pci to pci-e? card with multipple pci-e on it? or just buy new motherboard? 1. No, that doesn't make sense. 2. No, that doesn't make sense. 3. Yes. Title: Re: Motherboard with 3 PCIe x16 slots in positions 1, 4, and 7. Post by: VariableDiff on January 02, 2014, 02:30:27 PM I have a bad experience with amd based mothearboards, amd systems drawsmore power too.
Asrock had a very cheap Mothearborad recently with 3 full size pci-e slots. Title: Re: Motherboard with 3 PCIe x16 slots in positions 1, 4, and 7.

I've just spent a few hours digging for a GD70 replacement. Everything is $500+ especially with a CPU.
