My cards are RX580 and I need 7 slots

AsRock H110 PRO BTC+ (s1151, Intel H110) with 12 PCi-e 1x + 1 PCi-e 16x
Asus B250 MINING EXPERT (s1151, Intel B250) with 18 PPCi-e 1x + 1 PCi-e 16x and 3 ATX 12v
P.S. Asus B250 MINING EXPERT remains 12 slots for upgrade Grin

From where I sit.... using those "modern" motherboards with bunch of PCI-e slots and put over there all your cards is the same as to put all your eggs in one basket. Besides such boards, full of graphic cards, are quite greedy for power end require costly PSU. So, for me the better option is to have a few rigs equipped with AsRock H110 PRO BTC which, moreover, had shown its reliability.

Have been checking about this too, and I came across Asus B250 Mining Expert LGA1151 motherboard and It has 19 PCIe slots. I think you can check it out too, as the price looks friendly and can easily be ordered.

FYI the 6-slot Gigabyte GA-H110-G3A boards can now be had for less than £25 here in the UK. That's a steal if you ask me. You can actually put 7 GPUs on them if you use a M.2-to-PCIe adapter.

I've been using a combination of boards that I bought used from 2016-end of 2017. Currently, with prices as low as they are on hardware I'm consolidating all my random_board_01 4-6 GPU rigs into 8-12 GPU rigs using Asus b-250 mining expert boards (30 to 50 usd on ebay used, 60 usd on amazon new) and 8gpu vedah frames (25 usd new on amazon) as I add new cards. Just want to make configurations/maintenance a bit more uniform across the farm, to save time and a bit of electricity.

Out of all the boards I've ever used for mining, this one has been the easiest to configure & maintain. Rock solid and highly expandable. Only real downside I've seen from it is lack of an m.2 slot, but I've never seen a real need for that on a gpu rig.

I've thought about trying some riserless boards so I could ditch the headache of troubleshooting/finding bad risers...but just haven't done so.

Mining mainly depends on the performance of the graphics card, and the requirements on the motherboard are not large. Mining motherboards generally value PCI-E slots and stability. Recommend Soyo SY-B85,This is good, you can check it out for yourself.

The cheapest motherboard you can find that does the job for your needs flawlessly. Buying a very cheap used motherboard on ebay would be a great option, some will run up to 6 gpu's no problem.

You're right. You can find a fairly inexpensive option on ebay and he will cope with all the tasks assigned to him.

As per my searching e z270p, z270a and z270e are good for mining, z270e has inbuilt WiFi so this is superior than other two,these three are common and working good as per my aspects.

I always settle for ASUS Z270-P Motherboard. Get some M2 to PCIe adapters and you are ready for 8 GPU motherboard.
Economical price and very reliable.

I can second this. Use this motherboard with adapters and have had no problems.

It also seems to be available in most countries. Some of the more crypto specific motherboards have limited stock or require international shipping. The Z270-P is a lot more common.

Hi everyone,

I would like to know what is the best motherboard for mining right now?

I am currently using Asus prime Z270-A right now but one of them is dead...so I need to buy a new one.

My cards are RX580 and I need 7 slots

What is your recommendation?

Thanks!

maybe for my recommendation, for a motherboard to mining cryptocurrency, you can choose ASROCK H110 PRO. because it had a lot of slot PCI-e to attach with your graphic card. besides that the shape is pretty sturdy and small so it doesn't need much space for this motherboard

Asus EXPEDITION EX-B250-V7 is the coolest motherboard for mining. It is safe, and the user does not meet any problems using it. Asus Z170-P is the perfect choice for those, who are planning to build a farm.

Thanks to its extremely solid build quality and slots for up to 13 GPUs, the AsRock H110 BTC+ is one of the best mining motherboards you can buy today. These features allow you to expand as needed, so you won’t find a much better future-proof board. It might be a bit overkill, as Windows 10 only supports eight GPUs, but there’s no harm in preparing for future updates. The AsRock H110 BTC+ may not be the best motherboard for mining if you’re a beginner, but if you’re looking for a more advanced platform – you can’t go wrong with the AsRock H110 Pro BTC+.

Like the previous post, Asus PRIME Z270-A motherboard is one of the right choices I guess. This is an alternative that is widely used by miners because it is easy and the price is quite affordable.

My uncale also used same montherboard like you mentioned. I've learned from him that it’s very useful and untill now it’s working smoothly without any issues.

As long as that will be matched with your budget and that will not bring yourself in the lose and that's will be useful. to build a mining rig is not just about to use the latest mobo that can be putted a lot of GPU too. there was a lot of reasons need to be considered.

I am using Gigabyte h110 BTC pro and love it! This is working for around 2 years with no problems. Easy to setup, nice price, good quality...
Previously I had one Asus and my oppinion was not so good on the long run
I am now a Gigabyte fan Grin

these boards are made especially for mining and the cost is very nice, so why use gaming stuff?

If I personally still use Asus ROG Strix Z270E, for motherboard mining, maybe it is common with this Asus ROG Strix Z270E motherboard so I still use it, maybe I can recommend using a motherboard that is roughly in accordance with the coins that will be mining.
