Topic: best motherboard for mining with less problems need your experience (Read 324 times)

I now use exclusively ASUS Z270-A (used to use ASUS Z270-P as well). It's problem free (so far) and easy to configure for either 6 or 7 GPU rigs. Didn't try M.2 to PCIe since 6 is enough in most cases for me.

These boards work great right out of the box, I dont know why you would warn against them.

you should, as a general rule, stay away from MSI motherboards. Based on extensive testing, these are the hardest boards to get working properly.

Which altcoin is best to mine?

You need to use 1333MHz memory. That is easier to detect.

I read the Asus Prime Z270-P was best,

Hey just what i read not from experience however

The ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ is solid. The PCI-e slots are a bit close together and require you to use electrical tape on the part of the riser that seats into the motherboard. The prices on it are now outrageous but you couldn't ask more of a plug and play motherboard. I run many 8 GPU rigs off of them with ease using Windows 10...

Just sharing my experience on the board that I used

Asus prime z270a/AR : about 30 of them only 1 of them fail to get 7th card running, tried everything and give up, didn't try m.2 to pcie adapter.

Biostar tb250 pro(12 pcie): ordered 5, rmaed 2, in the end 5 of them works with 12 rx 580, need to shut down and wait for about 30 sec before turn it on or no display(someone told me is latest bios issues,didn't bother to flash older bios), 1 of them lag AF in windows don't know why, but running stable for 2 weeks, had to set miner priority in task manager to get my hashrate stable.

Asus rog strix b250f: 6 cards with usually 4g,pcie adjustment in the bios.

Asus rog crosshair vi hero: same as strix b250.

Asus rog maximum ix apex: same as strix b250.

Asus rog rampage vi extreme/apex: same strix b250 but with abit more efforts x299 bios are weird.

Onda 6 pcie slot motherboard( forgot the actual name): Windows slow AF, would not start up when Windows reinstallation restart, random shut down once in a week,had to use 1st gpu display port to enter bios( running 6x 1050ti,didn't update motherboard bios).

I only use those rog board to mine cos i had to rma my biostar board.

All of them are using Windows with minimum of 4gb of ram, all cards are rx 580 8gb, lowest tier processor is a g4400

Replying on phone,sorry bout the mess
Hope this helps

What about this mother. ASRock H110 Pro BTC+  iread good and bad reviews

I got the Biostar TB250-BTC for $79. Can confirm it's working with 7 GPUs (6 PCI-E + 1 M.2 adapter).
I'm going to test if the 4-in-1 PCI-E extender also works once I got more GPU

MSI Z270a Pro

Only need to change 2 settings in bios for 6 GPUs

- enable 4g
- change PEG to IDG

Asus Z270 most loved my miners motherboard

do you face any problem in  stable error  or just this two problems   and what cpu do you have

is ram effect in anything i have an old ddr3 kingston 1333 2gb will it work or do i have to get another one 

I have been doing mining for 1 year using Asrock H81 pro btc R2 . issues I've experienced:
1. When booting, Ram isn't detected, I did Move the DIM1 slot to DIM2 or vice versa. (solved)
2. 1 or 2 GPUs aren't directly detected but they can be solved by trying to move PCIe slots to other PCIe. (solved).

Shit, thats pretty cool.

Octominer B8PLUS
https://octominer.com/product/octominer_b8plus/

Riser free motherboard with built in intel mobile 3855u CPU. Very stable and solid board, no more need to mess with risesrs or buy extra CPU. Just plug 8 GPU directly onto the motherboard. 

biostar z270 GT6 is 7 gpu and i have 3 rigs of it easy to setup only need to enable 4g decoding and that's it.

iam planing soon to put 6 or 7 card so

i know we search for more slots pcie x16 and x1  as we can but it Connecting all this cards is do a problems in Connecting and hashrate


so can you advies me with best motherbord based in you
