Hi there,
 
I am building a pc for gpu rendering purposes so SLI/MULTI GPU support is not necessary.
So I decided to go with 4 PCIe x16 slots cards. EVGA Z170 FTW and EVGA Z170 Classified K looking good for that purpose.
 
CPU power or bottleneck is not a problem because it is a special renderer that has nothing todo with CPU.
 
I wanted to attach 4 Geforce GTX 1070 for physical based GPU rendering.
The thing is I dont know if this board can run 4 GPUs. 3 gpu seems to be ok but what do you think for the last PCIe x1 slot.

    Welcome to the Forum xdesign
     
    What CPU did you Install?
    http://ark.intel.com/products/88195/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz
    http://ark.intel.com/products/88191/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz
    Compare:  http://ark.intel.com/compare/88195,88191
     
    You will not get X16 on all 4 cards.
     
    You cannot run 4 GPUs on the EVGA Z170 FTW & Classified K
    Mainstream performance has been redefined, introducing the EVGA Z170 FTW. The
    Z170 platform is the first mainstream chipset to feature DDR4 memory, and the new 6th
    Generation Intel® Core™ Processors! Features upgrades to the already top notch
    UEFI interface, 5 phase VRM, 1 M.2 slot, Native
     
    To run 4 Cards you will need the Support Manual for EVGA Z170 Classified 4-Way (151-SS-E179)
     
    You may want to review the X99 Classified Model and get at least x8 x8 x16 x8 with 4 cards.
     
    You need at least x4 for each card for non-SLI and x8 for SLI on each card.

    Thanks for the reply.
     
    I decided go to with x99 ftw k with intel 6850k.
    I am curious if you can suggest me a stable ram for this system. I am not fond of overclocking so stability is my first priority.
     
    Thanks.
