Out of the box is where I live

is there any place you know where this motherboard is available now ? I've been checking on all major shops and they're all out of stock. This Asus model is really attractive, it gives much more space to the pcie slots, with my current mb it's really difficult to put all risers next to each other due to the lack of space.

For those who already have it, do you measure performance differences between the different slots available? I have a 13 pcie motherboard and I have 3 underperforming slots.

Just got my asus mining expert today. Pretty sweet board for only $160. Was wondering if the following combination of GPUS would work on this board:

3 GTX 1060s
1 1080ti
6 RX 470s
3 RX Vegas
Total GPUs: 13

Basically a mixed rig with both AMD and NVIDIA cards.
congrats. yep it will work Smiley

and that's my asus b250 rig -

Is it possible to connect 13 GTX 1060 6GB cards to this motherboard running on Windows ? Or I need to run it on linux? Thanks.

In another thread of this forum, someone said that they have 12x1070ti working with the latest (1001) BIOS version. And Windows supposedly allows for more than 8 cards from the same vendor in the latest update. So...

This is forum, so we are here to disscus not to point links to manual.

Because we all know what manual says, but we also know that some people having trouble to boot with the amount of cards that have been stated as working examples.

Windows = 8
Linux = 13

Is this 8 card acctualy windows limitation or something else.

Can I Get more than 8 if I combine for exmaple  8x GTX 1080ti + few minining Nvidia cards?

I'm having an impossible time getting unbuntu on mine.    What did you do?    i get i386 error


 I can't speak to 16.04, but XUbuntu 14.04 was no problem at all - just "dd cloned" one of my existing Nvidia-based systems and away it went (once I got the hardware installation "oops, what did I forget" issue worked out).

Just ordered one board in Norway, and payed for it directly in the shop... delivery time unknown. What does it mean... they are writing in the add the release date is unknown... I thought that board was already released... or is it because this will be (the new?) version 2, as mentioned in the add...?

They are out of stock and is waiting for a new shipment.

@asus @ASUSUSA Just got off Asus Support and they confirmed 13x is MAX on B250 Mining Expert until BIOS update in 4Q. Case ID#
N171017058"

Having the same issue. Can't get past 13 GPUs. ASUS support says that to get more than 13 we need to use mining cards. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks

I run my rig on Ubuntu 16.04.

I put 13 general purpose gpus (rx570 580, 1060 1070) on the board and it runs perfect.
However, if I put the 14th general purpose gpu, I got POST fail.

If I put 3 more mining gpus to 16 cards (13 general purpose gpus + 3 mining gpus), runs smoothly.

But I have no idea if Ubuntu supports more than 16 gpus.

Greater demand than supply, like MOST "mining-related" hardware since March or so of last year.
