What motherboard, mobo, etc. should I use

[fishy]

If I have eight AMD 7970 GPUs and one AMD A10-6800K “Richland” APU, what kind of motherboard would be the best?
Please give links to their product pages, etc! Thanks!

Just a heads up no matter what board you get you'll definitely need some powered risers to stop the ATX plug and motherboard traces from burning out (literally).

You need an 8 PCI-E slot mobo.  The MSI Big Bang Marshall comes to mind, it's expensive.

Otherwise MSI-Z77A-GD65 will run 7 cards without issue.  Using power risers.

None, sell those and wait for the asics to come out, unless of course you get free electricity.

Last I checked AMD APUs didn't fit in a land grid array with 1155 pins....

The title of the thread is what "mobo/etc should I use", as in that is his priority.  Who builds 8 cards rigs around a CPU.  He can sell the thing for an intel if he feels like it.

If you want to be constructive offer up a mobo with an 8 pci-e slot AMD mobo for that CPU.  Or can you not find one? smartass
