Topic: ASUS B250 Mining Expert MB - 19 Cards! - page 26. (Read 31088 times)

I have seen rack cases for 6-8 GPU but that's it.

Cases like that have cramped GPU-s with vents that make a lot of noise.

Can someone recommend a closed casing for this rig?

I need it as protection and aware of the heating problem, have seen yet cases of maximum 12 GPus

thanx

Hi,
In the first version of mobo manual was mentioned on couple of places that if you are want to use 8 or more gpus, is important to use 32GB ram for better system stability. Because I already had this ammount of ram at home, I am put it in to the rig...

Thanks for this informative thread.

Do you guys use the 3x atx12v connectors? I bet these could power the risers (and maybe the gpus?)

How much memory would u recommend for this? 2x8gb?
What cpu would u recommend? Celeron G3930?
I think I go with 2x 1300w and 1x 1600w to power all 570s, mb etc.

I used that bios and flash my b250 mobo, but it's the same with the old one, nothing change and nothing happen, I think this mobo bring pain in our ass...

Here's an updated bios as of 2017/01/04.  I wonder if it gives all the GPU support promised.

I have this motherboard in my first mining rig running only four GTX 1070 FE cards (so far).  Of course I plan to upgrade with more cards and power supplies as I pay off the original parts.  I had no trouble setting it up at all.  It's a wonderful board.

So. It is still not possible to mine with 19 gpu, f.ex radeon rx 580. ?

Why do you power the gpu directly from the psu? I thought you should power the gpu from the socket.

Good luck finding one in stock.

Very nice mb, next time i'm upgrade my rigs, i will 100% upgrade to this one! thanks for link

Ethhash on a 1080 ti is a total waste of the card - they make a lot more on equihash.
Keep in mind that the hashrate for ethhash on a 1080 ti is LESS THAN 20% better than the 1070, while their equihash hashrate is commonly more like 60% better.

1080ti x13
ethash ~1800W
equilhash 2500

1 more day asus has left to honor their q4 2017 decemburr promise

Try to boot with iGPU only.

If that's working fine then go one card at a time to detect source of the problem.

New bios update is available, so you can try that if you manage to boot with iGPU.

Just like the two gentlemen said boot with onboard gpu only!
If all ok to eliminate riser is bad install gpu directly onto the 16x pcie slot and check.

Hope it works for ya buddy. Keep us updated

Yes, just try to boot only with igpu. It is looks like that there is something wrong with risers or psu. What happend to the last board?

Did you try to boot up with no GPUs installed on just integrated graphics?

Then if that works try to adjust bios settings or maybe update bios.

I picked up this garbage board for overpriced 400 something to try and replace my btc pro 13 that died after a week mining...

Big mistake.

The board is finicky and garbage at the moment.

Right now my board endlessly resets itself every 5 sec after power unless you reset the CMOS via jumper. If I do that it gets to the mining pcie screen then resets and goes back to the reset loop.

Lovely. Can’t even get into bios settings can hit the pause button though n it will hang there until I press resume n it resets. Any idea what the heck is wrong??

The onboard hdmi does nothing no picture. I get usb 3.0 riser picture if CMOS is reset once but not after going into reset loop.

It started doing this when I set pcie speeds both to auto as it was not recognizing one of my cards in Linux but was showing green on boot!!

It has also frozen up in bios setup for no reason, fails to detect all cards (6), or goes into this crap reset itself endless loop!!! Can’t even get to setup or post.

I thought maybe it is because usb3.0 risers? Any ideas to fix?? What a piece of crap board my btc pro worked instantly with 13 cards but something died after mining a week n usbs stopped working

Nice..... about to just set up some 6 to 8 rigs  and throw this garbage in a burn pit.  What a nightmare!

Hy Casha,

How is that working, the 1080 ti is announced with 320 Watt each...? 320 x 13 = 4000+

3 x 850 is for the board?

1 x 600 for the risers?

Did you see the video from invictus mining on youtube? I dont know if I understood this right... he is running only to PSUs on the board and try to take off even one of it...?
