Title: MBO advice Post by: ajareselde on April 11, 2012, 09:28:31 PM can u please assist me on picking my 2nd mbo.
1st one is gigabytes 990fx-ud3 and its hosting 5850+5830+5770 ~ 870mhashes total im thinking of having 4x 5850 on 2nd one. but dont want to spend too much on mbo. i have 2 risers 1x to 16x. (a bit scared to use them on this board coz ive heard i need to wire pins manualy) what do u think about gigabytes GA-780T-D3L ? cheers Title: Re: MBO advice Post by: Cablez on April 11, 2012, 10:45:38 PM Give this thread a look as it has good info in it.

I had 6 cards on it as well. im using x16,x8 and x4 pciex without shorting pins. do i have to short those in x1 when i use my 1x to 16x adapters? |
