Topic: FOR THE RECORD: Does Motherboard really matter in mining? - page 2. (Read 1086 times)
The PSU is the most important component in a mining rig. If the PSU goes out, at best so does your whole rig. Stick with gold or platinum rated PSU's from brands that use quality components like EVGA or Corsair. Platinum rated server PSU's are another good option and cheaper, but they are loud and you need additional components.
Thanks for your replies.
If so, will you agree on me that I'd rather invest on better PSU than MOBO?

Some motherboards make it easier to set up and troubleshoot mining rigs due to their features.
Some motherboards don't support using all the PCI-E slots for GPU's or make it easier to setup multiple cards for mining. Otherwise there is no performance gain from using one motherboard over another.
Thanks for the reply and you have a good point.
However in terms of FOR MINING ONLY MOBO, will there be any impact in the performance if I choose more expensive MOBO than cheaper ones?

Does MOBO really matter guys?
For a standard 6 GPU rig (1070), does this really matter?
Example point of comparison:
MOBO #1: $75
ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 LGA 1150 Intel H81 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
MOBO #2 $169
ASUS PRIME Z270-A LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Motherboards - Intel
The above are just example of comparison. I mean if MOBO doesn't really matter, why i have seen people buying asus prime over AsRock?
Appreciate if you can enlighten me.
TIA

Maybe people want a motherboard that they could use for a decent gaming PC, should mining not work out in the future. Support for LGA1151 processors and DDR4 RAM is a nice. However, I'm not certain why someone building several rigs would pick mobo #2 over #1 other than it has one more PCIe slot.
