  • With the motherboard I am using (Supermicro X9DRH-7F) I get 6 8x PCIe slots, and 1 16x PCIe slot for a total of 7 slots. All of these are communicating directly with the CPUs, as opposed to some boards where the slots go through the chipset. There are motherboards with even more, but they are more expensive. I got this because I will need the bandwidth for model parallelism using multiple GPUs.

    Also, the least power-hungry CPUs you can get for this board are the Xeon E5-2630L, which each consume 60W under full load.
