Should I buy Risers for my GPU setup
#1
I was wondering if I should by risers for my current setup

Motherboard is a rampageV with 4 GTX 980 TI's with 64 GB of RAM.

I was also wondering how good this rig would be for professional cracking and if I should perhaps invest a bit more money into another rig/bigger rig to get 8 GPU's as opposed to 4.

Currently I am dual booting Ubuntu and Windows but I mainly stick to Ubuntu.

So the reason why I ask is because I haven't really tested the rig out too heavily and am just concerned that if I were to leave it on for more than a week cracking passwords I might burn the graphics cards.

Also I wasn't asking if I could put 8 GPU's in a motherboard with 4 slots. I was asking if it would be wise to build a bigger rig with 8 GPU or if performance on this would be adequate. Sorry if the wording was confusing.
