MOBO: H81 Pro BTC is crap. I just returned mine. It didn't managed to get 3 GPUs running.

+1 I tried the H81 Pro BTC as well. Gave up as I couldn't get it to work with 2 GPUs.

For that amount of money, I would buy some gridseed asics. It's hard to cover your electricity cost with GPUs.

Effectively that can be cheaper to buy outside the eurozone.
