Well I bought a great board with 7 slots. The MSI Z87-GD65.
I still have a question about the power supply though. The rosewill has 8 pcie power connectors. I'm guessing that means only 4 cards as each card requires two power connectors?
Can some of these power connectors be split for the 5th card?
You could get a PCIe 6 pin splitter that takes power from two 4 pin molex connectors. That is also a possibility, as long as your PSU can draw the amperage!
Thanks. I think I'll do that.
For a card with two power connectors would I need two of these splitters? So they would hook up to a total of
4 4pin molex outlets on the PSU?
