What's your choice for motherboards that support 4 GPUs (caseless)?

Can you link to some specific boards in that price range that are known to work with 4x cards using x1 risers? It seems kind of hit and miss to just pick one at random, because some of them really can't do it.

I've seen where the PCIe "extender" or "riser" cable is mentioned in builds, but I'm not able to find one on Newegg. Can you suggest a source? |

What type of extener have you used? I tryed to use x1-x1 extender without hotplug and it seems does not work. |

MSI 785G-E53, has 1 PCI-E 16X and 3 PCI-E 1x. I've confirmed that it works with 4 GPUs, and I got it at 60$ at geeks.com refurbished.

I have had so so luck with ASRock boards. I have two right now that on first boot up don't initialize the ethernet, but it works upon restart. Wish had I had better luck with that as that looks to be one nice board. I use this board primarily and have had only 1 out of 20ish go bad: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138303There frequently are mail in rebates on it in the $10-$20 range. Edit: You will need risers. |
