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.

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.

If you are in Hong Kong, can you let me know where you ordered it from? Would like to grab one too, if the price is right.

Thank you for sharing that, keep us posted. Also share what price you get it at.

Did you get 5 cards working on the GT7 Z170 ?
No, sadly, im still waiting on other people to confirm if it is indeed possible, I have been running my two boards with 4 cards each riser free just like Phil.
I do however remember someone sharing that they got 7 cards working on the MSI Z170 Krait3X. Here is the thread :
I have done a mistake presuming that a 7 PCI-E board would take 6 GPUs and got the MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING 3X 
along with G3930 CPU and 2X4GB HyperX DDR4.
Please advice what board should I get to still be able to use the RAM and CPU with 6 RX470s.
Why on earth someone would build a 7 slot PCI-E board which cannot run more than 3 at a time
Thanks

Update bios to last version. Enable in bios "4G Decoding" and you'll run all 7 GPUs on this mobo
Sir, thanks for sharing. Confirmed working

That Motherboard will only do 3 Phil it has only 3 physical slots... I love the GT7 Z170 boards though, have a couple of those, bought em off of your recommendation a long time ago

Manufacturers are still making Mining Motherboards :

http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=865
People all over the world (especially in China) please let us know when you start seeing these in supply.
Also, a lot of people have suggested the Biostar TB85 board as an alternative to the ASrock H81 boards.
Here's some Juicy tidbit of information about the TB85 - it was supposed to have an 8 PCIe slot varient as well.
Here's a screenshot from the Biostar TB85 Manual :
PS: this is from another forum where someone else spotted this.
Again, I look to our Eastern brethren to help us confirm these exist? A low cost 8 slot motherboard would be AWESOME.
