Hey guys,

I know a lot of you have given up on running 7x 79xx series cards because it's a huge pain in the ass. Well, I've found the right hardware combo to make it happen!

All cards are normally pegged at 740KH/s, but they're a little slower on this pool for some reason.

Rig hardware:

Ivy Bridge i3 or Pentium
MSI Z77 MPower
7x Sapphire Dual-X 7970
Seasonic 1000w Platinum + Seasonic X760w

Software:

Windows 8 x64
Techpowerup's 13.1 drivers

I have another rig running 7x GB WF3 7950s with an MSI Big Bang Xpower X58. I also have an MSI Z77-GD65 running another 6x 7970s which I'm going to try a 7th card on when I get a chance, but I don't think that board is going to work with 7 cards.

TLDR: 7 cards is possible! Grin

Prelude, for the MSI Z77 MPower, did you have to short any of the pins in the PCI-e slots to get all 7 GPUs to work/be recognized?
