    Bitcoin farming was running just fine with PCI-E x1. And I used to run it with PCI-E x1 adapter in x16 slot (fix it there very well... Silicon maybe?). You have to cut an adapter only.

    Ergo - no more excuses!

    Since you have a new dual socket board in your house, I know the part you need is NOT this:

    i5 2500K @ 4.9GHz+ 8GB G-Skill RipJaws DDR3-2000 @1600Mhz CAS 6 Asus P8P67 Pro CrossFire 6970's @ 950/1450
    Xeon X5677 @ 4.5Ghz 6GB G-Skill RipJaws DDR3-2000 @1600Mhz CAS 7 Gigabyte EX58-UD5 4870x2
    i7-880 @ 4.2Ghz+ (still playing) 4GB G-Skill RipJaws DDR3-2000 @2300Mhz CAS 9 Asus Maximus III Formula MSI Hawk 5770

    Now you guys now how you make plans for certain accomplishments and then some totally XTREME guy comes along and
    makes what you plan look like piddly squat. I mean the guy SO rains on your parade that you feel like "What's the sense"
    That is what happenned to me last night when Chispy sent me a PM with this link:

    maybe one Titan will do?
    Could use a ribbon connected riser card or something to offset the slot or relocate the video card...

    Movieman : that is crazy... 64 cores at 4.7 ghz... add a few geforce titan and it would be quite a beast crunching wise...

    1550W at the wall.... imagine 24/7 what the power bill would be... About 105$ a month just for one rig...

    It would cost me in the ballpark of $390/month to run something like that...

    Electricity rates are kinda crazy out here... but I may be able to start crunching again once our photovoltaic array is installed.

    but I ran into a glitch when I started to build this morning that took me most of theday to find a work a round..
    What was the glitch? Just to install my shiny new 7950, it took me around 3-4 hours because I had to re-build the entire rig and I had a very hard time connecting everything, the hardest thing was the HDDs... those rigid power sata cables are a pain in the butt... and I should have bought a magnetic screwdriver... and a modular power supply...

    I need to buy a very very very big computer case already where I can have space to work instead of swearing for hours at the pieces and connectors that won't go in because I can't see squat and my hands have a hard time fitting in all those cables and hardware...

    You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.

    Great looking case movieman. There seems to be some optimized motherboards offered at the bottom of the page you linked that offer room & varied PCIe options for video cards. Have you considering trading in your present motherboard for one of those optimized motherboard?

    You mean on the "flyer"?
    Yes, BUT if you look close those are dual 1366 boards, way to tell is by socket location and if you look close above the back HS you see 6 rows of memory.
    That's tri channel and the 2011's are quad so would be 8 sticks..
    I have that dual 1366 board downstairs in that same case only it's revision K and for the new board it's Revision M
