I have since bought more of this Biostar TB250-BTC board, and paired it with Intel G3930 CPU, and a M.2 64G SSD, DDR4-2400 4G RAM.
I have 10+ rigs of this setup running with 6x RX 470.....stable for weeks.

It's my favourite setup thus far because of the M.2 slot for SSD, I don't even need to use any SATA data or power cables in the whole rig.

you don't power risers?

I have this mb and works well with 6gpu. Tried amd rx470 and nvidia 1060/1070.
Win10 64 and change settings in bios: Miner Mode Enable and Max Tolud 3.5
I never plug power on mb.

I will miss tb85. Do the same job and cost less

I just spoke to the supplier (located in Hong Kong) in person, he's open to accept orders from overseas.
You may contact him via his facebook page:

Im not on facebook anymore, anyway your supplier could do the TB85 bulk orders? I have been working on trying to get the Sales manager online to see if I can do a custom bulk order of the TB85, still waiting to hear back

Hey guys,

We recently bought 40 of these on newegg.ca, we were at first so happy about that purchase since it has 2 molex and 6 PCI-e.

We are still testing them, but so far we can only have 4 GPUs connections even if we tried this:
http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/support/faq_content.php?S_ID=768

I looked, there is a bios update dated on March 30, we will see if it helps.

So far, we will have to send them back if the problem is not fixed.

Keep you guys posted

I am running 5/6 gpu on these motherboards. I have not updated to the beta bios. I had the problem of only 4x GPU's until applying those changes. I am running Win10 x64.

that's why it's out of stock since the beginning on newegg.ca

You can try to PM some people talked about this before, who said it's just plug and play, nothing else you need to do. Better to get detailed info about the rig parts. In another thread earlier today, it's reported only skylake but not kabylake supports 7 GPUs on MSI z170M5 board.

Hmm, I thought there were a few members on these forums that had reported running them with 6 GPUs? Hopefully one of them will see this thread and respond...

might be a crazy question, the M.2 ssd slot. would that affect 6 gpu setup? I want to know if it works fine on this board but also any other one. M.2 vs SSD for mining, which is better. i was thinking less cables more air flow.. thanks

i heart that user needs to also configure his/her software(operating system&drivers) for using more than 4+ card at windows 10.
is that right ?

Biostar has official instructions for this board specifically: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/support/faq_content.php?S_ID=768

Not on these mining boards, these are pretty much plug and play.

I just ordered this Biostar TB250-BTC from my local supplier. Supplier says it will arrive this Friday. I'm near China, but not in China.
Hopefully it would work with 6 GPUs.

Where did you order it please? I'm in Japan and wouldn't mind shipping cost from nearby China...

I just received the Biostar TB250-BTC board + Intel G4560. Installed 6 RX470 GPU on it, and it works fine!
It's about 10-15W lower than the Asrock H81 Pro BTC + Intel G1840 I swapped out.
It's about USD 83 here.

That's great news man, now I wish Biostar will start shipping it outside China.
Btw, if you ordered it online, could you please share a link?
