Yeah, that would be more customizing than I want to get into.
A few of things I am currently trying to sort out, maybe someone can help:
1. What is a good single power supply to go with to power 4xNvidia 1080 FE cards? I have a couple ax1200w corsair power supplies from an old rig, but that doesn't seem like enough if I go single 1200w power supply on my new build. The Nvidia 1080 FE card is spec'd at 180w, so 180wx4=720w, the motherboard and cpu, ssd, and fans would probably be around 350w? which would put me around 1000w utilized. Should I get a 1600w instead of using my 1200w?
2. What problems can a dual power supply rig run into? I wonder if that was part of the instability problem with my older rig.
3. As far as the 4xGPU full length pcie slot motherboards go, is there anything to watch out for or avoid? It seems like these are normally used for gaming. Are there any motherboard brands/models that are better than others for what I am looking to build?
Thanks again for all the help.
