Does MSI Z87 MPOWER 1150 take 7x7970 ? - mrkengz - 10-08-2013

Hi, i'm new here. I did some reading for a while and decided to build a 4x7970 system. I found this mobo, MSI Z87 MPOWER 1150, have 4 pcie-x1 and 3 pcie-x16, which typically takes 7 GPUs (w/ risers).

so, I just want to make sure that it will do before buying.
Thank you.

the board can physically support it with extenders, but i don't know if the uefi firmware can address that many pci devices. only one way to find out: try it.

ok let me try 4x7970 first, then adding an old 5450 to see if it recognise more than 4 cards. cheers.
