Title: Mobo for 4 x hd7970? Post by: xilix on April 08, 2013, 11:25:27 PM Hi,
I'm going to build a mining rig and was wondering if it is feasible to install 4 x XFX hd7970 ghz cards on one mobo. I haven't seen a 4 way setup anywhere but if it is possible, what would be the recommended mobo for such a setup? Also will multiple cards on a mobo slow overall performance vs. 1 card per motherboard? thanks all. Title: Re: Mobo for 4 x hd7970?

The power supply you then need is also so much bigger. It is a mess. Title: Re: Mobo for 4 x hd7970? Post by: solidshotnosh on May 02, 2013, 12:33:29 AM Seriously read up before you invest, we are currently at something like 80k mh/s right now.
Even a serious 4 card setup like that is going to net you something like 1 -2 BTC a month, with your power probably costing almost the same or more. I mean nothing wrong with some mining, but don't go dropping all your money into it expecting to see good gains. Just saiyan yo. Title: Re: Mobo for 4 x hd7970?
