I know crazy question. I have an MSI z77 g45 gaming and it has 2x pcie 3.0x16+1x pcie 2.0x16 plus a slew of pcie x1. I'd be looking to fill the x16 with physical cards and then get 2 pcie x1-x16 rasers. Question is can my board do it?

Case is gonna be the next prob to tackle. Any input is appreciated!
 
Another miner? LOL!

I am not sure a board of that generation has enough PCIe lanes to mine efficiently. A lot of GPUs are neutered in a 1x slot. I do not believe that to be the optimal board for that type of setup.
 
Yeah I think I'm going a different route. Too tired to think. And to be fair I was an overclocker first :p
