Ah... thank you. But seeing as how my images are so big better off just linking it to avoid it taking forever to scroll down, lol.

Don't mind the cable management. Not doing anything about it until I get my 2000W PSU and have all 4 295X2s running BOINC jobs.

Just tested it. When click Img, then paste the image link, then click Img* to close it, then hit the preview button a small placeholder with a white 'x' against a black background is in the images place instead.

I will link some images to show you the layout and spacing. I can't post images for some reason (guess I'm to new).

But yes that is my problem. I can install up to 2 295X2s (gpu cores 1, 2, 3, & 4) no problem. But updating the drivers of the 3rd 295X2 (gpu 5 & 6) lead to BSoD. What I did was run safe mode and install the drivers of gpu 5 & 6 (3rd 295X2). Now all 6 are running albeit in safe mode only, lol. If I can run BOINC in safe mode then that's great!

I install the drivers (Catalyst/Crimson 15.2) manually. I didn't install the control center so no access/control of Crossfire. I use 15.2 because that's what most people who run 5+ gpus use.

Greetings and Salutations! I'm quite new to the community, to distributed computing, and in general utilizing more than 4 gpus at once. I have only marginally contributed due to me still trying to get all 4 of my 295X2s up and running.

I only know of one person who has gotten 5 gpus (R9 Nano Furies) running smoothly, Rick's Performance Computing over on YouTube. He also tried 3 Pro Duos on a Crosshairs V Formula-Z, but could only get 2 Duos working. Anyone else have success in running 5-8 gpus? If so, on which motherboard, driver version used, and would you be willing to share your installation process?

My problem is when I manually install drivers its all smooth sailing until I reach the 5th. Installing diver for the 5th leads to BSoD...

AMD Radeon R9 295X2 x4 (Not installing the 4th until my new PSU comes)
