hey guys

What options do I have for a 3x gpu mining rig when running a core2duo cpu? - trying to reuse some of the hardware i have laying around.

Got everything but a proper motherboard with more than 1x 16x pci-e - prefferably 3x if possible? - im not sure if that was even possible back then?

Thanks,
maze

An Asus P5B Deluxe will do the job. It has 3 pci-x slots, two are "16x" and one is 1x. This was a popular board at the time, and you may be able to find it for relatively cheap.

Also, if you can find an Asus P5W64-WS, you will have access to four 16x slots, but I'm sure that this board will be difficult to find.

The Asus P5W DH Deluxe has two 16x slots and two 1x slots, but it wasn't as popular as the P5B.

Not sure about the prices of the other ones, but this is 35.

3 PCI-E slots.

I really want to buy it for myself as I also have a core 2 duo lying around. Tongue
