ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 - $80

Why do folks insist on recommending a board that has been OUT OF PRODUCTION AND IN VERY SHORT SUPPLY (when you can find them at ALL?) for 2+ years now?

For reference, Intel stopped making the chipset that board uses ballpark *4* years back.

Here are some other motherboards that are known to work with 6-7 GPU's:

All those are more expensive.

Speaking of mining revenue I see that price of etherium falls. Price of video card skyrocket. I do not see high return anymore for the time being Angry

My a88x-g45 can detect 5 GPU. However, if I use this product, it can detect 6

The solution works but somehow unstable. I raised voltage to the CPU and is still testing.

Usually I would raise voltage or lower clock. I am still checking

My plan is to use some old 4 PCIE or 5 PCIE mobo with AM3 slot.

Then uses pcie 1-3 to add pcie slot.

Some people says it works.

I want to know the exact mobo that works for that.

I use A88X a pretty expensive mobo. However, it didn't work. It's very unstable.

do your own research, Dude !

If you have nothing to add shut your asshole.

Anyway, anyone ever tried AM3 AMD board combined with pcie 1 to 3 and successfully pull this out with 6 or 7 GPU? Not 8. Just 6 or 7.

I am using biostar TB250 BTC mobos. $150 each, works flawlessly out of the box with 6 GPU.
Honestly $80 or $150, it doesn't matter much. A few days of mining will make up for the price difference. Just get one that ships fast.

using 1 to n pcie slots is not a good idea, buy asus prime z270A and play with 9 cards.
