Of course it's possible o.o

This one has room for 6 cards.  Could be useful for 6x 5970 or 6x 6990 in x64 linux

AMD has a limit of 8 GPUs.

They released open source drivers. Anything is possible

Which don't support OpenCL.

Then I stand corrected.  6x 7970 with 1x 5970 :)

The Gigabyte board would be better since it has SATA auxiliary power.  Not sure why MSI negated that from their Z77 line.

Just because there it can theoretically accept 8 GPU doesn't mean it actually will. 8 GPU limitation is the AMD driver limit, the motherboard could hit that limitation before that.
