Title: Which computer case supports multi-gpu?
Post by: Cereberus on April 03, 2017, 11:40:50 AM
I have a low level motherboard but I want to change my case to Enermax Thor Giant which supports up to 4 high end graphic cards ? Do I need a motherboard with at least 4 PCI Express x16 slots or it can be done through risers and extenders in with USB to PCIE ?

What is your suggestion since I have seen you have built so many mining rigs, but without case I have seen most of them. Any good case that lets you have 4 GPU without worrying about risers and extenders ?

Rose will server case and a insert to hold up to six cards.

The threads are here in this section.

I am on an iPad so giving links is a P.I.T.A.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Before I lock the thread is there any Corsair, Enermax or NXZT case which will serve the same purpose but will look much more beautiful than the Rose case ?

Thanks, that's really sad to know. Locking the thread and I will go for one with 3 cards, will use riser if I want to add more, beauty is something I do not do compromises with.
