What motherboards do this? I see the gigabyte UD7 Z68 board does but at nearly £300 its a bit rough. I dont need the x16 lane capability. Just want 4x GPU's in thereI've heard you can get PCI-E x1 to x16 converters, will this work on a motherboard that technically doesnthave 4 gpu sockets?

Thanks in advance
 
I found another thread, in the right section :/ Sorry

I thought it would be obvious, bitcoin. Going water cool them too when they generate enough £££. Im not saying too much cause a lot of people on here dont get it and are missing the point of bitcoins main focus, To ELIMATE CENTRALIZATION so banks/goverments cant control your lives like they do. People are just seeing free money but trust me, There's plenty to be made, Im raking in 1.5 coins a day from 2x 5870's stock fan. Watercooled on 4 of them ill be hitting 5 coins a day.

And im a recreational person and am all for open markets and free information no matter who deems it right or wrong. WHats right and whats wrong really so the like of silk road gets a thumbs up from me. How it should be is what bitcoins are before centralisation in 1918 :)

Lots of motherboards can do 4 way, an good old example is the Asus P6T7 WS SUPERCOMPUTER Intel X58 but there are cheaper ones.

I wanted stick with sandy bridge then at least ill be able sell the systems when i'm finished for a better price/better features. End of day im making some AND ill have a shed load of blisteringly fast hardware. Nothing wrong with that :)
 
Trust me, me and the electric company are good friends. I know perfectly how much it costs for electric as at times i use 6000+kw/h. When im over a certain threshold i get discounted electric with BG on my tarriff. but still, Bills are £400 a month give or take.

And you are insane to think that the cost ofelectric offsets that. You relise 4 crossfired make you a serious yearly wage??? I know, i got 2 in crossfire here earning away at 720mhash/sec. Im already enjoying the bennifits of it.

And the value is only going go up with popularity. As long as you get the money invested back (draw it oput when you've made it) whats the problem. If bitcoin did go down, you got some serious hardware, for free haha.

I see so many people missing the point with this and failing at setting it up correctly. Good i say :P

Yeah man, don't listen to what BIG GOVERNMENT or FREE MEDIA have to say, you're being controlled.

Hey look at this scam website I found that's making money off idiots, it's totally legit! I believe everything it says, it's totally anti control man!

haha, i like you. Will you come round and give me a rim job? haha

@ guy who said troll. No, Just wthought id get the advice i needed from people on here.

@Surveyor Thats good one, But again bit pricy. Could go with x58 tbh, not all that different. Just thinking of selling them on once finished with :)

Man, Pee off with the trolling. Tell you what. I wont bother asking again, Bunch of fu*king kids on here. No wonder you don't get it.

Big Bang marshall looks like it'll be the one for my rig(s). Here's to the 7 series being better than the 5 series :)
 
Sorry, your right, Was low and below board to swear, i appologise also for that. Just some people... I'm serious about this and i have my reasons. I could only find 1 board myself and thats why i asked. tis all :)

if your making sooo much money, then why you asking about a quadfire setup, why not just build 7 or 8 crossfire ones instead??

I looked, No server type boards support the RADEON line, Only nvidia mainly and a few firePro ones. Find me a server unit that support multiple RADEON cards and i will be pricing it up straight away :)

And its called INVESTMENT. Everything worth investing in carries risks but as i said, You still have a load of stupidly quick hardware so wheres the problem :)

Unless i'm mistaken - for your uses you don't need a board that supports crossfire at all - just one with loads of PCIE lanes and enough space between them to fit four cards (with dual slot coolers). You then configure the cards individually and run miners on each of them. If you want to keep your costs down and only want your system to do mining then you could go for a 990FX board and a AM3 sempron or Athlon II CPU, however a £90 phenom II X4 955 would be a better bet imho as you can actually use this CPU to game when you aren't mining.

However, at this stage where the mining difficulty is really ramping up then I wouldn't suggest buying such an expensive setup purely for the use of bit coin mining. Have a look at these graphs.

Thats exactly what i was after mate. Thank you. Yes, but im a bit more committed to the idea of it as a currency also not to get involved and it means my mate gets this comp (2x5870's, i5 2500k, 4gb hyperx something) and i have the 4x beast (although 4 scale scales BAD!). Its win win if you get me :) Also hence why for this rig at leasty i was looking snady bridge ;)

Ive just found out that an onboard graphics frees them up more too. Ive clocked mine stock vol to 930 core/300 mem and getting 389mhash/sec of each. Recon i could try volt up a bit to try hit the 400 mhash :D ???? Temps at 80 and 74 on the other. Stock collers. Impressed

I love this though too. Aint been able overclock for ages, no reason.This gives me a reason to play :)

Them graphs tell me all the more reason to kit out some power houses. As it will be harder for people with less power to be worth while so more work for me. And, the risk part, the value of bit coins goes through the roof. Drive it into the black market and people will pay triple.... Quadruple...... Open source software, Gotta love it :)
