So I'm thinking about getting an HAF X case and a new motherboard and I want the ability to mine with 3 cards at once. There's lots of motherboards with 3 PCIe x16 slots, but they're usually in positions 1, 4, and 6 or alternately 1, 3, and 5 which doesn't leave an empty slot in between all the cards for cooling.
I know that when I run two cards in positions 1 and 3 the card in position 1 doesn't have enough air flow and gets super hot, so I want this new motherboard to have space in between the cards.
Can anybody recommend a motherboard like this, with 3 PCIe slots in positions 1, 4, and 7? I saw a similar setup on the forums a while ago.
Thanks!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

MSI 890FXA-GD70. I was trying to find cheaper alternatives, but the alternative can't be found anymore i think.

Nice, thanks! You're right though, it sure is expensive.

so i see 5 slots on that mobo. could you insert 3 cards in slots 1,4 and 7, and then use PCI-e ribbon extenders to add a 4th and 5th card in an open architecture?

Yeah sure, i assumed the idea was to avoid risers. If you plan to use them, there are cheaper boards with 1 16x pcie and 4 1x pcie slots.

Don't care how old the topic is. I've just spent a few hours digging for a GD70 replacement. Everything is $500+ especially with a CPU.
