Cheaper than national average but varies as contract changes every 6-12 months.

Marvel - You wouldn't have this issue if you had more powerful PSU! HAhahaha........ 7 x 470 and you can't power it? COME ON, stop buying 1KW PSU!! The FANs are waiting. Shut down another rig and bring another baby PSU over to help. Just kidding. Thanks for the update. You make me very happy as I have 15 of these.
4-5KW Baby 4-5KW Baby! Holla at Finksy, time for a upgrade. I have 5 on the way in preparation for VEGAs and 2 for Protypes.
A little PEEP Show of my progress. I'm ALL ABOUT DA BASS!!!!!!!!!!! THE CRYPTO BASS! 5th Rack is 50% populated with GPUs on the way to fill em.
6th reserved for the VEGAAAAAAAAS!

That's really nice setup. How much do you pay for electricity by the way?

Not sure if it has been mentioned here but according to this post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18015683 the MSI z170A with a bios update holds 7. One has confirmed on the thread and I have one on the rack waiting for my proc and 2 more cards to come in by wed and will confirm.

GUYS - Citronick / Phillip , can u guys test this? I'm traveling and won't be home for a few more days so I can't confirm.
This is for the Z170 GT7 Racing MB. Biostar support say it should be able to support 7 GPU via risers no issues. Can either of you test and then confirm?

Dear sir
Please follow the following web-site and try again once,
(1) set all PCI-E at gen2
(2)go to BIOS " Chipset" > System Agent (SA) Configuration > Max TOLUD > Set to [3.5GB]

Genius i also bought six of these racing boards on a whim since they were so cheap, i could only get it to detect 4 cards before, updated it with these settings and it worked with six GPUS
I also updated the bios before this to the latest version.
Not tried it with 7 i dont have any more risers, Microcenter had a deal on some GPUs on newegg they are $184 microcenter had them for $164 so grabbed six of these to play with

*new problem **
it detects all the cards but 3 cards do not seem to have enough bandwith or something , they are only mining at 8mhs vs 27 or , trued ti reinstall drivers same deal, gona try a clean install in the am
are you using claymore 8?
try -ehti 4 the default is -ethi 8 if left blank
it that does not work
try doing it with simple mining uses linux a fast install.

I sometimes get the 4mh and 7mh bugs with windows on the board.
using smOS it does not happen.
what cpu are you using ? a pentium or a celeron?
if you have an i3 or and i5 it may help
you fix the 4mhs bug by putting in a display port cable to every graphics card one at a time with the other end connected to your monitor. vwaaaaala no more 4mhs bugs
Yeah. Also a dvi to Hdmi to monitor will work.
All for the 4mhs bug ..the 7 mh bug is different. As is the 8 mh
ok thanks for all tips , i fixed the problem by opening up watttool and resetting the card that was basically showing that it was overheated , seems like a power profile from the nano i replaced
with a rx 470 for some reason after multiple re-installs of the AMD drivers something seemed to be saved ? I uninstalled from safe mode using DDU.
Now all six cards work like a charm, I plugged in a 7th card and it is detected by the board, I can't mine with 7 cards since i have no PSU that can power so many cards so I cant
say 100% it will mine with 7 cards.
Bottom line this is my fav new board, it can use newer processors which means even with the g44 Pentium , so nore more lagging while mining the pc runs silky smooth still with
six cards active. I also like the LED's so I know its on, the bios is extensive so many setting , most other 1151 boards i tried don't have the max TOLUd setting and so many other settings I found in the bios.
also it will keep resale better since its a newer sixth gen board.
Interesting.... so Marvell, you can confirm that the BIOSTAR Z170 GT7 mobo with the settings mentioned by yun9999 does take 7 cards?
I have not gone to the warehouse yet thanks to bad batch of sushi I ate last week so I havent got the energy to go out and play yet.
If 7 cards on Z170-GT7 is possible... then I think yun9999 will be very happy.
I too will revamp my Nanos into 7-riggers with the 1600w EVGA because that PSU have 9 x PCI cables out.

Ill try ethi 4, I did uninstall msi afterbuerner and now 5 cards mine at max speed the sixth onecstill hashes at 8
Ive tried simple mining os before never could get it to work need to get this working with windows
if eith 4 doesnt work ill reinstall windows 10
Any luck in getting all 7 GPUs work with the MB?

This is what was on the website in linked to you for the MSI one
They were making those change directly editing the bios ROM, but it's the same changes I'm located in asia. i'm out of stock atm, let's see how things goes. yes the cables are hidden in the bars.
they are HP server 1200W Platinum PSU's. small, light weight, direct PnP & power is perfect for a 6x GPU rig even dual mining. But you will need an input of at least 208V to get 1200W (Max) if it's 110V then you will get 900W.

That's fine too, asia is less of a hassle when customs are concerned. Feel free to keep us updated when you have more stocks ;-)

It should as the MB is not providing power to the GPUs. It's the POWERED risers that is for the 7. I never use the Molex for the MB other than for the H97 anniversary which I hated because I had to do that. I also want to avoid this as I want to use Server PSU with Pico so it would be a no no for me.

This is for the Z170 GT7 Racing MB. Biostar support say it should be able to support 7 GPU via risers no issues. Can either of you test and then confirm?

Dear sir
Please follow the following web-site and try again once,
(1) set all PCI-E at gen2
(2)go to BIOS " Chipset" > System Agent (SA) Configuration > Max TOLUD > Set to [3.5GB]
I will be going to warehouse later in the evening when its not too hot and will test those BIOS settings.
Hope it works. If yes, then I dont need the PCI-USB splitter.
With 7 x high end cards on the board.... I wonder if the this Biostar can properly allocate the power to each card only from the PSU.
In case of the H81s, a powered molex onto the mobo itself, provides extra juice when the GPUs need them avoiding stress on the already powered risers. Without this fail-safe feature, power overdraw to the risers will occur and expect some flying sparks.
Probably don't need to power the MB to support 7 GPUs like Z97 gaming 5 which handles 7 GPUs fine. I also don't use Molex for H81, always pressed ctrl N to avoid future messages. If it works, people who bought 20+ Z170 hit the jackpot!

GUYS - Citronick / Phillip , can u guys test this? I'm traveling and won't be home for a few more days so I can't confirm.

Yeah each 2KW PSU is only $40-45 retail. I just reuse mine from the Bitcoin mining so zero cost for me. The HP 1200W PSU are like $18-25 and much cheaper in Bulk. Cables for servers PSU are interchangeable as they are just standard 6 pin vs proprietary for ATX PSU. They are are super cheap comparing to paying $8+ for each EVGA cable and you will need it for dual port GPUs as each EVGA only come with around 2 dual PCI cables. I think we quickly forgot that not too long ago we had to use Dual PSU to power just 1 rig due to cabling and max power. This may reoccur again with Vega 10 or more power hungry cards just like Furies.
The beauty of it is that, if you want to get PLATINUM, you just change 2 PSU in the bundle. Platinum for ATX is ridiculously expensive. I'm not saying server PSU is the solution for it all. I'm just saying we should be more open minded on our solutions. Just wait until you see the Prototypes coming out of my LAB.......... Simply not possible designs with ATX. Just FYI, I still love my EVGAs and are still buying a ton of them.
************HAWKFISH PCI POWERED PICOs****************************
It will be HOT...............................
@Phillip - That's correct it's better to get the Platinum and it will work with the same board. Do you recall the Revision # for the DPS 2500 that will work with the board? I know that some versions won't work. I had to find out the hard way. =(

They are all in the solar array I don't recall off hand which ones works.
My four card rigs Work great with the evga p2 750 which I sometimes get for 113 usd.

the issue though with this setup is you can buy platinum roswil platinum 1k PSU's for $120 right now brand new with 5 year warranty
I have around 10 6 gpu rigs running this setup with no problems only had one die on me.
The finsky solution along with all the cables and the mother board adapaters could ealy cost 2-3 times the cost of buying normal PSU's

This math is not a good example and no way it's even more expensive never mind being 2-3 times.
4 of those Rosewill 1KW even at your Super Sales price is $480. You really can't compare a super blow out once in a while sale but I'll use it anyway as it's an extreme example.
Finksy 4KW bundle is much less than this. His Triple A package is $255 and includes everything you need including 30 cables, power cables, fan mount, fans, the complete deal. Now if Finksy can get the Pico with Custom cables at $25-30 x 4 that's up to a Max of $120. So your total price is $375. Way cheaper than your extreme example.
***** The MORE ACCURATE Comparison ***********
Most people are not powering just 470s or as efficient with undervolting as you Marvell. You simply can't push 7 x 480 on a 1KW nor would you be able to do 6 x Furies, 5 x 390, Vegas, yadda yadda. So a more accurate comparison is against 4 x EVGA 1300 which normally sell for $200-235 after tax. Let's not count Black Friday SUPER Sales or 1 offs, let's compare average selling price, the what does it cost if I need NOW... . We're then talking easily over $1K of PSU and they're not future proof if your rig requires more than 1000-1300w which means now have double the cost for each rig with 2 PSU and an even uglier Bird's nest in the rear blocking flow.
Don't forget even if you don't choose the 4KW bundle, and chose YSLUNG HP 1200W server PSU for separate individual controls, it's still much cheaper and you're getting Enterprise server PSU compare to consumer grade ATX. Of course the ATX comes with better resell value and warranty which is a plus but the server PSU is so cheap, you can buy plenty of extra spares and still have money left over for Dinner and a movie with the entire family. Also you don't have to leave your rig down for a few weeks waiting for that dead Rosewill RMA. Spare server PSUs are like $18-45 depending on whether you're choosing HP or IBM so you can do your own immediate Warranty maintenance. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of places where ATX make sense like my Server case rigs but that may change in the future as well.
This is why I'm pushing hard on Finksy, Hawkfish and YSLUNG to get us GOOD PICOs for reasonable price of below $30. If it's at $50 and above, the value proposition drops a lot. However, wait until you see the CRAZY designs I'm going to be coming up with that is only made POSSIBLE by HAWKFISH007 PCI risers and PICOs. IT will be BAD ass and something very unique making even pricey Picos worth it. You also lose the Birds nest of ATX PSU and cables in the rear blocking flow..... ...............Stay Tune...............
Three Different Designs
1) Server PSU w Picos for Server Case
2) A Standing Tower Rig
3) The most compact RISER powered stacking Rig
A Psu is 40 bucks?
You can have multiple spares, all the other gear is reusable.
You can easily have backup server psu and swap them out with VERY little work/effort/down time.
With a pc psu even if you have a warranty you are looking at 30 days return, or a pricey replacement/more work to rewire a psu. so longer down time
part of the cost is the cables and breakout board
You are correct but. I think he meant. If your farm has two or three or four psus running from finksy
You should have a spare one as the psu cost 40.
Now not to knock finksy and the dips-2000 psu.
His breakout boards fits the dps 2500 psu.
Far better psu it will do 2300 watts not 2000 like the dps 2000.
It also is a true gold. 91 %
The dps 2000 is a very good silver 87%.
If you are going to use the finksy breakout boards. Try to find the dps 2500 not the dps 2000.
Sometimes I find them for 70 bucks on eBay.
