this one was better! EVGA X58 4-Way Classified 170-BL-E762-RX, 7 pci-e 2.0 x16.0 slots - $140 May 26, 2012, 07:59:02 AM #1 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188078after using Ref20 refurbished, but has a 90 day warranty ----- ed: oh, haha, it's still there. $127.50 now, though |

I think I'd prefer the LGA1155 to the LGA1366 board, at least for mining. You can pick up a $50 G530 off Newegg instead of having to try and find a cheap used LGA1366 processor, and you could probably even run a display off the IGP and leave all the GPUs dedicated if you really wanted to.

The problem with that board is that it's a socket 1366. Even a used, 3 year old 920 is ~150. The MB in the OP is socket 1155, which is a lot cheaper to shop for. Newegg is selling a socket 1155 Celeron G440 for $41 with free shipping. Much better deal, imo. |

you count wrong. PCI Express 3.0 x16 - 2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 - 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slot - PCI_E7 supports up to PCIe 2.0 x4 speed PCI Express x1 - 4 |

The only issue with that MSI board is that you're going to need an Ivy Bridge processor in order to utilize the other PCIe x16 slots. The cheapest are around $200 on Newegg. Not that great of a deal.

I didnt follow with the new chipset recently. Can you elaborate more on this? Or you can link me to what you're saying. Thanks |

Not quite $50 but it is a Xeon which means it is much more reliable than el-cheapo Pentium/Celeron.

According to the manual, it like 6 slots, but I could be wrong. Slots 2x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots 1x PCIe 2.0 x16 slot - PCI_E7 supports up to PCIe x4 speed 4x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots - When PCI_E4 is installed, PCI_E3 will be no function. PCI_E1 x1 PCI_E2 3.0x16 PCI_E3/PCI_E4 x1 (shared) PCI_E5 3.0x16 PCI_E6 x1 PCI_E7 2.0x16 |

Some Z77 boards use PCIe Gen3 PLX switches meaning that in order to use the other slots you need a CPU that has enough PCIe bandwidth (aka Ivy Bridge). An example is Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H. If you check out the specifications for expansion slots, it lists that the third PCI Express x16 slot operates at 4x electrically and is "available only when an Intel 22nm (Ivy Bridge) CPU is installed" since it shares bandwidth with the other two x16 slots. In terms of available PCIe bandwidth from the IB CPU, it would go from 16 lanes → 8/ 8 when the first two are filled → 8/ 4/ 4 when all three x16 slots are occupied. So it should be able to do 3-way SLI if Gigabyte got certification from Nvidia. |

Take a look at the table 1/3rd of the way down the page on this look at the MSI Z77A-GD80. The MB supports 8/4/4 with IB, but only 8/8 with SB. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5829/a-first-look-at-thunderbolt-on-windows-with-msis-z77agd80 |

Ignore this, as it was the adapter and not the panther point board. |

Is G530 the most power efficient CPU?
