I'm building a gaming desktop that will also be used for mining. I've picked up 3x 7950s for the GPUs, and will be going with an Intel i5 for the CPU.

I've done a lot of searching here, but all of the recommendations are for cheap boards being used for mining-only rigs.

Which motherboards are good for both "power user/gamer" use and mining use?

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

your case is more important than the mobo. you will need a lot of fans to keep 3 7950 cool. Grin

gigabyte with 3 fans on the 7950 is the way to go then.
or maybe water cool it, pricey though
