No matter how many cards this MB can support, it is just a bad mobo when it comes to stability. Take any algo, the hashes will move up and down, never settle. Z270 is so far the best, I have used.

Been running since february. No problems.

Me too. Rig2 is loaded to 13 nvidia cards. (wish I coul find some P106 cards at a decent price!) and my Rig1 is at 9 cards and 7 are AMD and 2 Nvidia.(soon to be topped to 13 cards so I have an excuse to build rig3!)

Can u please gave me some more info regarding your rig configuration and settings:

BIOS version of MBO,
How much GPUs you have and what are settings regarding PL, Memory or Core cloaks of cards have you set,
Number of PSU and which one is powering what exactly,

When you say hashes will move up and down, do you think on pool side or miner side?

this limit is caused by hardware limitations and can't be fixed with a BIOS update.

It looks that way, reason why all other manufactures state 13 gpus on their products cause they created with gpus only in mind, asus on the other hand made 6 more slots for mining cards without display.

Pretty dumb considering I actually like this card a lot (have built 3 rigs and 13 gpu with it and never had any problems at all)

still, only 13 non-mining cards with new bios which sucxxs, I am unable to get my hand on any mining cards.

one way to push Asus is to raise support ticket/send feedback and ask for non-mining cards support to run 19 GPUs on this board.

I now have successfully setup 13 nvidia cards on a B250 Mining Expert Motherboard. There are 7 GTX 1050 TI (4gb), 3 Gtx 1060 (6gb), 1 GTX 1060 (3gb) and 2 GTX 1080 (8gb) GPU's connected and im running EWBF currently.
The only thing that Ive done different is Both power supplies are wyed and only connected to connector A on the MB. I have one EVGA 850w and a Corsair HX750 (gonna put in 2 1000w PSU's eventually). Both GTX 1080 cards are running at 65% TDP and +150 on the cpu and +500 on the memory. This whole setup is yielding 3000+ Sol/s mining ZEC.

How are you "unable to get mining cards"? They are all over the place. Ebay, Nowinstock, Newegg, Amazon and the list goes on. Did you mean you cant afford them?

I have now successfully managed to get one of my ASUS B250 Mining Expert MB's to but and show "green" and mine successfully with 12 Nvidia cards installed unlike what their owners manual says about mixing nvidia/AMD cards in certain orders. Didnt have to do any tweaks or special drivers or nothing.

When I get my board...!

I'll run 24+ cards on it

Only worth trying if you have NVIDIA P106 or P104 mining cards. Otherwise it will not work, 13 cards is a limitation of BIOS/resource addressing when using VGA (non mining) cards.

Bought usb watchdog:)

Usb watchdog can't hard reset anything.

Well... kind of. If the rig freezez it will reset through reset switch. Cheaper than using wifi outlet.

Which model did you buy and for how much money?

Too bad I cant reach the rigs then :/

Any way to hard reset the motherboard with wake-on-lan ?

wake on lan can only "wake" board. buy a wi-fi power controller.... nice thing... some like this... https://vk.cc/7SjNyv 10A(1 device) , but you can find more powerful by yourself there.
