it looks like almost everyone with this board is running a combination of amd and nvidia cards? any reason not to do all amd or all nvidia? is anyone using simplemining? are all 3 molex/ATX connectors necessary? i have a server psu with a breakout board and i'm still playing with various mobo/cpu/card combinations trying to find the ideal one. having a lot of issues with the asrock h81 pro btc 2.0 and simplemining :/

I am planning to buy asus B250 mining expert. I will be running 13 cards in the beginning as per

https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1034921

Asus supports 11*amd + 2 Nvidia

however, I have seen a few comments that it can run 13 AMDs as well.

Is there anybody who is actually successfully running 13 amds only without nvidia or any other card? If so, can you please advise the cards that you are using.

we are planning to buy 13x Sapphire Pulse RX580, if anybody has experience with these, please let us know.
My Rig#2 is running 13 Nvidia cards.  (2) 1080 (4) 1060 and (7) 1050 TI   Asus B250 m/b Win 10 pro.  Stable as a rock.  Just basic Windows tweaks.

Is it possible to view with a program in windows what pcie slot that is not working? Just like the startupscreen when turning in the mb.

Not sure there is anything official from Asus on that matter, maybe some third party software.

never heard any program to do this job. Maybe you can write one Smiley

Yes, BBT built a 60 card farm with the ASUS B250 Mining Expert and Sapphire Pulse 4GB cards, 13 cards per motherboard.

Has anyone succeeded with this mobo in Windows with more than 8+ AMD gpus, please let me know what the driver that you are using in Windows. Sorry Im a newbie that i cannot find a way to install Ubuntu with this mobo, maybe because it is using UEFI secured boot, can anyone help ?


I have 9 rx 580 using latest amd driver on compute mode in wattman and 4 1070 getting 30+ MHs per card. The driver asus said to use crashed my computer every time with more than 8 cards. Hours and hours of fun! lol tried several drivers only the latest didn't crash it.

most likely this limit is caused by chipset or processor limitations.
16 PCI (HiIO or something) lanes from the CPU and these are the ones that get mapped to video outputs, if I have guess correctly based on scattered info.

It would be interesting if BIOS modding on GPUs could disable video output (to fool the MoBo BIOS) to allow more cards (on any MoBo).

There is no need  to trick this mobo cause it produced  to work with 19 GPU after all Cheesy
Another question is it wise to use such many cards simultaneously. OS would not be stable, PSU will be very expansive and not stable e.t.c

correction, 13 gpus and 6 crypto cards with no display output, every gpu gives a display output.

Guys, this MB will get 6 x P102-100 to 8 cards RX580 and 7 RX470? Or only P106-100 and P104-100?
hey, I'm using 8x RX580 + 11x P104-100 with this motherboard, they run just fine. I'm sure that P102-100 will work too.
basically it supports any count of video accelerators (like NVIDIA P1xx series), but no more than 13 GPUs with video outputs.

most likely this limit is caused by chipset or processor limitations.

is not windows cause it does not work on linux, chipset or processor wise no, cause even the p104-100 use pcie lanes and work normally, best bet is bios resources, cant fill 19 displays.

There is no need to use more then one display with this MB Smiley

Strange.
Using win10 and 13 amd 570 nitro+.

Grt. Im on W10 1709 5x1060 11x1070

What about environment and temperatures of your cards?
Is it possible that hashrate drops because of cards down clocking for some other reason for example not enough voltage /PL limitation or to high temperatures?



No, not like that. I have tried everything. I have given up on this MB a long time ago yet looking for answers all the time. Now that many ppl suggests it could be miner, it is obvious I havent tried everything.

So far a very stable motherboard with 12 cards from RX 580 sapphire nitro plus , some of my colleagues wanted to squeeze the most out of their investment so they opted for this motherboard, I have set it up with 4 cooler master PSU-s 750 watt each powering 3 cards and this motherboard is running stable without a single crash from the moment I have put it up and running in February.

This is official picture from Asus, they don't say anything about P104-100

because there was not a p104-100 at that time.

Hopefully Linux drivers get updated for the DAG issue.  Limit of 8 sucks but Newegg has a limit of 1,2 or 5 if you're lucky so there is that

Bios Version 1010 is released. Havent tried it though since I dont have a monitor to perform the upgrade in bios :/

You don't have to if you have already operating rig, it says this BIOS update is oriented for expanding memory compatibility list.

Version 1010

B250 MINING EXPERT BIOS 1010
