I'm planning on building a 3x7970 mining rig using either the ASUS F2A85-V Pro motherboard or the ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0. 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 Smiley

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.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

No replies? Well, I'll risk it and go with the ASUS F2A85-V Pro then and see how it works.
