Nobody's going to return them and there won't be a recall. Sometimes development takes more time. And only an idiot would pay $300 when they are $169 at Newegg. That's where I got mine.

I am Not returning mine,

I Bought 3 of this Board, all at separate times, and each time I have never paid more than 149 US$ each on Amazon, don't pay the inflated price's you may find elsewhere online, and just watch for when they are in stock, directly shipped and sold by Amazon or NewEgg, and then you will consider this board a great purchase even if it should only be populated up to 13 regular GPU at this point,

$149! Even better! Yes, they are still bargains at "only" thirteen cards usable.

They won’t be recalled just failing to meet a deadline.

ya they will, everyone is ganna return them and just get asrock 13gpu boards and get refund on this crap

everyone bought this thinking 19gpus coming soon in decemburr, well guess what it aint happening. so ur stuck with a 13gpu board priced at $300... nice.

If you follow the manual on what cards are required, the board works perfectly fine. You need mining specific cards.

currently using one, bought it thinking i could connect 19 Vega64 on it but allas it can only BARELY support 8 of them
i have 6 on it and its stable but no more

That is an issue with the drivers for the Vega, not the motherboard - EVERYONE has been having issues getting more than about 4 Vega cards working on one rig, and I've NEVER seen a "working on more than 6 reliably" report.

With that said, the weird no-reason-for-it limitation to 13 "non-mining cards" has never been explained by ASUS, and there is NO sensible reason for it.

They've also never specified if anything OTHER THAN the P106 mining cards count as "mining cards" or WHY they have the restriction in the BIOS or what the BIOS is looking for when it imposes that senseless restriction.

yea this made no sense to me either, seems like the marketing of this mobo is a scam cover, the only good gimic is the port check screen at startup as it helps with gpu installation

i am as mentioned before running 6 vega64s on it very stable at 12.5kHs total ETN on nanopool using reg-ed cast xmr

saw the update but havent installed yet, waitting for others to do the testing as i dont want to fix something that is currently running fine

started a thread detailing my experience with pics, including the component that overheats and slows the mobo down (bet you didnt know about that)

for those interested the thread is here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vega-64-mining-free-wisdom-2549085

as with anything new there are bugs to be fixed, i just want ASUS to show a little more attention to this mobo, time will tell

Is this the fabled mythical 19 card bios ASUS has been talking about? Or just another bullshit hotfix...
