Title: ASUS F2A85-V Pro vs. ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0 Post by: dinominant on May 02, 2013, 09:23:32 AM I'm planning on building a 3x7970 mining rig using either the ASUS F2A85-V Pro (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/F2A85V_PRO/#specifications) motherboard or the ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0 (http://ca.asus.com/en/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A99X_EVO_R20/#specifications). Does anybody have experience using these boards with all three x16 slots populated with 7970's without using risers? My plan is to remove the side panels from the case to improve cooling with a walmart boxfan :)
It looks like the ASUS F2A85-V Pro has explicit support for tripple GPU configurations, but will the onboard video complicate things? I should note that I will be using Linux on this system and not windows. http://www.asus.com/media/global/products/j8vrTlM8NyadkSS1/gW1XVyyNtOBNPsCO_500.jpg http://www.asus.com/media/global/products/vpgO4EUfg3UTZsnh/EkdjDEi74SYGIWSL_500.jpg Title: Re: ASUS F2A85-V Pro vs. ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0 Post by: dinominant on May 03, 2013, 03:13:26 PM No replies? Well, I'll risk it and go with the ASUS F2A85-V Pro then and see how it works.
