What's the model of your power supply ?

Really Nice Job itou31 !
7 gpus would be very confortable with Octane
I ordered my pieces for my build, can't wait

Thank you all for all help to the build.

Some notes:

1. Even a 28 laned cpu is fine with dual PLX mobo for 7 gpus
2. The only drawback of i7 mobo as asus is lack of asus support for custom bios with 4G enabled that is why I go with dual xeon and Asrock/Supermicro.
3. Dual xeon give 80 lanes so ...

The i7 5820k only has 24 lanes. If you get a 5960x you'll get 40 lanes, and presumably with 7 GPUs your first one would be 8x and the others would be 4x. I am not up on the latest Intel CPUs, since I have not been in the market for one lately, but maybe some other new ones have 40 PCI-E lanes ...
