If you go with wooden build keep in mind that construction cannot be so good that you could just take it out to clean it with air compressor.
Metal construction would be much better for moving around.
Cards are full of dust in a month or two.

I may have to consider building a rack myself, not sure how it's supposed to look like or what the best design would be to keep it compact but easy to cool though.
I´m building one myself in wood. 13 gpu in one row.Its all in my head. I´ve seen other made riggs out of wood.
Will be buying parts in a few days.

I´m building one myself in wood. 13 gpu in one row.If I had it to do again, I would just buy those wire racks. They make a 24"x36" one that is perfect to build an enclosure around and have room for ducting, plus they make 8"x36" half shelves that just sit on the back two poles and can easily mount cards or fans on. If I had it to do over, I'd just build it myself or make it using wire racks. The kit I bought was a PIA and is not easily changeable after being built and cabling is a nightmare with it.
Which wire racks? Do you have a specific recommendation?I may have to consider building a rack myself, not sure how it's supposed to look like or what the best design would be to keep it compact but easy to cool though.

For the million and second time, the answer to your question that was understood perfectly and already answered is no. Nobody has run more than 13 non-mining cards because of a hardware limitation. In addition to all the posts and ASUS manual which say you can't, both before/after the Bios update, common sense should tell you that is the reason nobody has posted otherwise .
Not sure why you're in such a mood.
For the record, I did search. Both here and elsewhere. As I stated and you seem to have missed, I was asking if anyone had successfully done more than 13 of the same non-mining cards yet since the latest BIOS update and drivers. I see all sorts of posts and videos before the latest BIOS updates that it couldn't be done until the BIOS was updated. I see all sorts of posts after the BIOS updates but those are reporting that they are using numbers like 7 or 9 and don't really apply to my question. Maybe re-read the thread you linked to, and look at the dates and content of the posts after the latest BIOS release date.
Congratulations on your forum police badge. I apologize for hurting your sensibilities by asking a question that you misunderstood as being asked before...

If you bothered using the search instead of asking the same question that's been answered a million and one times, you would have seen nothing has changed regarding the REQUIREMENT of P106 mining cards for more than 13 cards.

Yes, but many comments regarding that 13 card limit here and elsewhere either were before the last two BIOS updates or reference posts/videos that were dated before then.
So if your comment was in response to my question, then I would reply that I was asking if anyone had successfully done it - not if a "million" comments/videos were made before BIOS changes that were unsuccessful.

It's already been asked a million times, you can't. Because of a limitation of the motherboard, you need P106 mining cards for more than 13 cards on both Windows and Linux.
Can anyone comment on having 13 nVidia and 6 AMD? Does it work with the current firmware?
Using HiveOS, DSTM.
My plan is 13 1070ti (as I can find them) and 6 580s (again, as I can find them).
Thanks.

Honestly, I thought the same thing and built my first rig using a 12 gpu frame off Amazon. It's limited me to 12 cpu's in the frame, and I had to zip-tie 3' poles to the back to mount the exhaust fans for the water cooled cards I'm in the process of moving it off the table I have it on to a wire rack (still keeping the 12 in the frame). If I had it to do again, I would just buy those wire racks. They make a 24"x36" one that is perfect to build an enclosure around and have room for ducting, plus they make 8"x36" half shelves that just sit on the back two poles and can easily mount cards or fans on.

Does anybody have recommendations for frame kits to purchase?
I see that most seem to build their own, but I'd rather prefer to buy a ready to assemble solution.
I found an offer on eBay, but that one is extremely expensive with 109.90 EUR + 36.90 EUR shipping.

I'm running four 1080's and eight 1080 Ti's currently. I have another 1080 Ti arriving next week and will probably order another to test afterwards.
Does any have 14 or more Nvidia cards (regular non-mining) working on this mobo? I'd really like to know before ordering #14...

I see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvbqkv2SgHc
from the video it seems like Nvidia GTX 1060 is same as 106 cards and you can use 8*gtx 1060 + 11*AMD cards to get this motherboard going with 19 GPUs.
Any one got it working like this? I have 7 GTX 1060 and would like to use this motherboard. 106 cards are pretty hard to find.

I only see 11 nvidia cards ?

Will ETH os run 18 or 19 nvidia cards on Asus B250 mining expert? Very little information available online.
If u have 13 amd and 6 nvidia p106 mining cards.
sound great, but why i3 and not jsut a Celeron G3900?
Celeron will be a bottleneck and mining performance will suffer. Will ETH os run 18 or 19 nvidia cards on Asus B250 mining expert? Very little information available online.

Hey Guys,
My hashrates are 10% lower with this Mobo. Anyone experiencing this? Same GPUs on ASrock or MSI board perform better. Any advice is appreciated. Also, my afterburner (4.4 beta 16 & 19) is not working anymore
RX580 x 8, 8 gB ram, Intel Celeron, Windows 10 pro.

Hi,
i'm also having this problem,
My 1070ti hashrate only 470 sols on ZCL mining, same card on another mobo( gigabyte) performance can do 500 sols.
any solution ?
thanx before
wow i'm really jealous with you guys whose already started with those kind of hardware. i wanna make something like that too. today it's completely hard to find a new GPU in my country. i really really want to start my rig too
