K9A2 Platinum and multiple gpu's

[edgedemon]

Just wondering where to find out the maximum recommended voltage that this board can support?

I currently have a GTX480 and GTX470 running fine on this mobo - Im thinking of adding another 470 and eventually filling the 4th pci-e slot with another 470 or other fermi card.

I have seen a few recent posts where people have mentioned additional molex connectors to plug into their x58 boards to support multiple gpu setups. This had me worried as Im not sure now whether I can get away with putting 4 cards on this board or even a third one?
I have checked the board and there is no additional options for getting more power to the board.

Am I being over cautious or should I be alright - I dont want to fry the board as they are very hard to get hold of now..

you should have a molex connector on the board nearest your top pci-e slot (nearest the cpu) so it should give you more juice, what power supply have you got ? (this is according to a quick google for that motherboard you've listed)

just going to have a look - will report back..

edit - knew I should have tidied my cables - didn't see it as it was hidden by a tangle of cables.
feel safe to stick another gpu in now, not sure about the 4th, purely because it is fermi, and they have a high power draw, which MSI couldn't have forseen back then...

Thanks for that...
