SUS has promised a driver update to do so 4th qrt 2017

when i add a 9th VEGA, 2 cards run at almost half speed (buss conflict), is there any solution aside from the awaited driver update?

thnx

Probably won't happen, due to driver limits, unless AMD updates their "blockchain" driver to support more than 8 cards under Win 10 - or IF they ever get around to releasing a WORKING driver for Vega under LINUX.

Do you guys read previous posts??

AMD drivers are updated since 17.11.1 release. I currently run 17.11.4 with 12 AMD GPU on Biostar TB250-BTC Pro using Windows 10. You just need to select in AMD settings Gaming/Global settings/GPU workload/Compute, instead of Graphics on each of the AMD cards

But the miners are still looking specifically for the blockchain driver version to support HIGH hash rates on VEGA.

Perhaps when Cast and Stack-XMR get updated to no longer look for that specific version to get large page support....

Whats the trick getting the "ASUS B250 Mining Expert" working with 19 GPU ?

I get half the cards in and it will not boot, all PCI cables have dedicated Power plus capacitors and kept as short as I can get them
each GPU has a dedicated TT 480watt 12v GPU PSU

CPU lane limitation?

How's the biostar tb250 btc pro?

I've been using the old tb85 and very stable, no problem, so considering staying with biostar.

Very good until now, stable and easy to setup. Also good placement of pci-e slots, comparing to Asrock H110.

45.5 also possible)

Also, Vega is a lot better off on Monero than on ETH - it's BEAT badly on a hash/$ basis by the RX 470/480/570/580 cards at recent pricing, even if you CAN find a Vega somewhere at something close to MSRP.

28+ Mhash for UNDER $250 (and sometimes getting down close to $200) > 45 Mhash for $450 at MSRP and WAY MORE at current pricing when you can find a Vega at all.

hi guys, I have used he z270 sli from MSI and as long as I put 2 gpu directly into x16 slot it mines OK, however as soon as I use the pcie extender, miner reports error. Did anyone have this problem?

Currently I have a mix of directly 2x plugged in GPU and 1x plugged through extender. The miner will report error on the 3rd connected through extender and mines only with 2 gpu-s connected direclty to x16 slot.

I used mintcell extender.

Did anyone encountered this problem and solved on their own?
Thanks!

Can't speak to the Pro, but I had to RMA the 6-slot version; constant PCIe Bus errors reported by Windows (first/only time I've ever seen that). Hopefully the replacement will fare better, but I also heard similar horror stories when asking about it elsewhere.

Driver update is live, use 17.04 or 17.11. Latest 2 of them works. You just need to select in AMD settings Gaming/Global settings/Compute, instead of Graphics on each of the AMD cards. I already use 12-13 AMD's on Win 10

wow never seen it, does it out-of-band? Based on your answer it looks like it is not. There are some individual modules on ebay for this through IPMI but nothing clear yet. Without it, you are at the mercy of BIOS during reboot when remove accessing it.

My choice forever Gigabyte 970 ds3p with am3+ socket, cheap, easy to find CPU(aliexpress 5$ athlon II) cheaper DDR3 ram and works fine with 5GPU. My rings use that motherboard, uptime few weeks. Recommend.

For mining suitable even older motherboard. I built my first rig two AM 3 motherboards. Each allows you to connect 4 GPU. All the equipment cost me $ 100. Additionally bought a power supply for 8 GPU + GPU. Only one H81 worth as much as how much I spent on all the equipment. To connect to it only 6 of the GPU.

Best Boards of 2017 IMO are:

H270-P and Z270-P by ASUS

and Biostar TB250 and TB350.

TB350 being based on AM4, goes well with AM4 X4 950
TB250 being intel, goes well with G3900 (since its cheaper than the kaby lake counter and you can run win 7 or 8 on the skylake G3900)

none relate directly to the h270,
the z270 boards work fine

i have enabled the 4d decoding, played with the peg settings etc
i am guessing there is a trick or mod somewhere that needs to be done on the h270 artic board to get these other 2 cards lighting up

Hallo guys, sorry my newbie i want to ask, i have a plan for mining ethereum using gpu (rx480), i ask how many gpu do i need to get 0.5 eth in one day? thank you.

At the current rate you'd need 530 mhs to get that, so about 18-21 GPUs depending on the hashrate you get, the difficulty is increasing though!

Is there a specific model of the gigabyte ultra durable that you reccomend? I'm looking at the gigabyte webpage and there are over 300 model variations of the ultra durable...lol. I'm planning a low budget noob rig and I'm thinking I should settle with 4 16pcie instead of what everybody else seems to recommend, which is 6 or 7 slots.

Cheap CPU, 2 cheap PSUs, 4 RX480 Nitro 4GB GPUs.

I don't get the point of purchasing a MB with less than 6 slots tbh...it's not the best way to optimize costs.

Have somebody problem with MSI Z170A Krait Gaming 3x. Work only 3 cards of 6.

In my rig work 4X RX 480, in this motherboard. In the near future I will try to 5 or more. But most likely will need a PCIE switch.

Intel is ending production soon of the 1150 socket CPUs with current 5 week lead times for any new production of the Celeron Chips. Production should end in the front end of the first quarter 2017 and mining motherboards on the 1150 socket shortly there after.

Current channel info says Asrock will be launching an 1151 mining motherboard soon to replace the H97 Anniversary and the Probtc motherboards for mining. In the mean time we are in a bit of a draught with motherboards. I can still get bulk quantities the pro BTC produced with a proper sized order and Celerons.

I would recommend a Biostar TB85 with 1 PCI-Ex16 + 5 PCI-Ex1 (6SATA onboard) but it's very rare.

Don't forget the new AMD CPU comes out Zen line it should help with Ggpu mining

I think it's there first one at any thing lower then 32 mn in while beside the APU that's at 28 i think. if it does what they say CPU miners will love it .

First for AMD but not first period - Intel Skylark series is 14 or 16 nm.

I also don't see the new AMD CPUs helping on GPU mining at all, though they might get competative with recent Intel CPUs on CPU mining.

Here's a good Youtube vid about the best mining motherboards.

And here's one about running 7 GPU cards on a single motherboard.

The Z170 boards are not too good for mining.. max 4 cards.. they have memory lane limitations.

I'd go with the Asus H81M Plus. Its got only 4 PCI-E slots but is very cheap and the ratios building rigs with 4 GPUs are much better.
Cheap CPU, 2 cheap PSUs, 4 RX480 Nitro 4GB GPUs.

Fighting mob law and inquisition in this forum

The question is if it supports to boot with 7 gpus..
I have a EVGA X99 FTWK it has 5x PCIe 3.0 8x support and also a PCIe 2.0 2x slot but I can't get it to work with a 6th card yet..someone told me about a bios trick I will test it later.

So i've been looking for new motherboard models and it's been pretty hard to find anything, H81 gone, H97 gone, TB85 gone (yes there are some of these here and there, overpriced AF tho), so what are you guys buying nowdays?

I'm planning on making a new purchase but i haven't seen any Intel/AMD socket mobo with 5 PCIE 1x. Huh

I can recommend AMD socket because it has better performance with graphics and it really compatible with any video card which is recommended for the chipset. AMD motherboard is compatible with any with intel or amd graphics videocard like nvidia or ati chipset, it helps your processor runs smoothly for grahics and even data loading of your pc its has an awesome performance.
