Hey folks,

Im wanting to mine on my spare Asus LGA 775 machine i built a  few years back.

 

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5Q_Deluxe/specifications/

 

Im just wondering how many GPUs i can run on this with risers? I read only 2 cause it only has 2 x PCIE 16 lanes other people have said 5 gpus? Im thinking using 3 or 4 gtx1050 or gtx1060.

 

MB: P5q Deluxe

Ram: DDR2 4gb

CPU: Q9450

 

I was able to do 25 mh/s on my signature machine below with the 1080 but figured id use the asus so i can still use the msi for games...

 

Thanks all for any feedback
