If you are using two full-length graphic cards in Crossfire, are you able to still access the fan, USB2,3.0 or whatever pinout headers? Thanks!

It would depend on how big the cooler is and if it goes all the way to the bottom of the card. If you are using dual discrete graphics cards, then you probably don't want to be using FM2+. Might want to look at the AM3+ CPU's?

You need a bigger power supply that can handle your motherboard and graphics cards and everything else as well as PCI slots some graphics cards are 2.0 so require 3.0 PCI so you can but need a motherboard that can this one only has one 3.0 PCI slot so you won't be able to use modern graphics cards in crossfire on it.

Might get a bit harder to reach depending on the case you get and the remaining angle to the bottom of it. But I think i wont be a total block. They're located into the bottom part of the mobo, left side of the cool red dragon. Might want to obtain the user guide on their website for the exact diagram.

Wouldn't work in my micro case. If you looked for a larger micro atX case (like one of the corsairs). You need the case to have a slot below the bottom graphics card. You can use USB extentions if needed. I just decided to go with a R9 280x and forget it.

Greetings, good question, honestly I can not answer it because I dont have much experience with SLI / CrossFire, and I dont want to give a mediocre response (sorry) but as far I know, You need the same video card, same model, to do the SLI or CrossFire.

Yes this MSI AMD Radeon HD 7950 is crossfire ready. Sli is for Geforce cards only but this does have one bridge connector.

Yes sir. I am currently running 2 x AMD 7870's on it very nicely. The second PCI-E rail is even at 16x so should work fine with any crossfire set up.

If you want to crossfire the gpu's then I would not recommend this power supply. If you are only running one gpu then this power supply would definitely suit your needs.

Yes, a bridge is provided. I haven't used crossfire much as I needed the additional HDMI connector on the second card, but it did appear to work as expected.

Yes, I have 2 R9 280X cards in crossfire and they fit, there is a little gap in between but as you know most Nvidia cards heat less than radeon cards.

Crossfire is for ATI video cards. If you mean SLI, then yes. It supports SLI.

No x16/x8 in fact x8 x8 x8 x8 when you use any of the PCIE 3.0 slots. If you have the GPU in the first and only that card then you have x16 add a card to any other 3.0 slot and they all go to x8. Well, if one and two are empty you get x16 in the last two. Page 1-20 of the manual breaks down the layout configuration for cards Crossfire and SLI

Howdy, yes, depending on the size of fans you use, it can take up one or two PCI slot spaces. It doesn't use the PCI connector, however. It takes one 3 or 4 pin connector per fan and comes with an adapter for each one. I upgraded the fans to nicer ones with more umph. I'd recommend that, as the fans that come with this are pretty unimpressive overall.

You always get this kind of info from the mfr. BTW, SLI is Nvidia, Crossfire is AMD specs at site:http://us.msi.com/product/vga/R7950-TwinFrozr3GD5-OC.html#?div=Specification

Well, if you ran the two in Crossfire mode, you could theoretically run them at twice the speed of just using one. I'm not sure that you will get twice the speed in the real world but you certainly will see a big boost, at least from the applications that can take advantage of two Radeons in Crossfire.

This card can do a cross fire with an A10 6800K APU. I cross fired this card with the A10 6800K using the GIGABYTE GA-F2A85X-UP4 ATX Motherboard. However, when I installed it, I had to make sure that the UEFI BIOS enabled the GPU in the APU (basically just make sure you keep the integrated graphics enabled). It runs like a champ, it'll run several programs at once without a hiccup, and it plays several games using the high graphics quality settings.

Not sure how well CrossFireX will scale across 4 GPUs. I personally have a 1200w PSU for one of these cards. According to Tom's Hardware the card only draws 450w at full load. Can't link the article at the moment on my mobile.

It does support crossfire and i think it supports 3 monitors maybe more sorry couldn't be more helpful!

Short answer: yes, and I currently have it as part of a 3- monitor linked single desktop right now, as a matter of fact.However, regardless to what monitors you use, make sure your computer's GPU(s) are properly linked if necessary (SLI or Crossfire if you want a third monitor) and have an *active* display port-to *your monitor cable type here* adapter for monitors after the second one. Otherwise, your computer will recognize the extra monitor(s), but only let you use two of them at any given time.(Basically, any monitor should work as part of a multi-display setup. It's the computer configuration itself you need to have setup right.)

I am running a single video card system. But the space between the video cards must be ample to support 2 dual cards. Doesn't look like enough room to me but the motherboard does support it !!!!!!
