Then go for Asus mining expert and 12 Vega 64 and 7 1080ti.

So I been thinking its more cost effective to run 2 boards with 12 gpus rather than 4 boards with 6gpus.
Can windows now handle 12 gpus from nvidia? Is one specific 12gpu board better than the others? I believe there is asus, asrock and biostar.
I was also thinking of using a server power supply or multiples with the pico power supply adapter to power everything. Will these boards work with the pico adapter? On parallel miner it seems most boards won't work off the pico supply adapter.

It's nothing really to think about, it's simple math.
Cost effective till you get a persistent issue, then you're doubling your downtime costs.
On MSI Z270-A PRO any special bios settings needed?
Cheap= Gigabyte H110-D3A (don't use mole on the board)
To set up first rig.
Must be easy. Later you build another rig of 12 or 19.
Keep it simple!

Any possible answer?
GA-H110-D3A or better MSI Z270-A PRO for stability and not to have problem with recognize max gpu?
Yea I was going to go with the GA-H110 but figure if I can get more on a board, thats less components, less electric etc.

Is the Asus B250 the recommended motherboard of the 3 or so that do 12 gpu? The problem I see with that is I want to use a huge server supply like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/2200W-24Pin-Mining-Power-Supply-For-Antminer-ETH-ZEC-S7-S9-L3-D3-Miner-110-240V/332419018764?hash=item4d65b7b00c:g:V20AAOSwDEtaQciU
and it has 1 24 pin plug. I suppose I can just get adapters for the 24 pin to make it two although 3 would be tough.
I"m still unsure if windows can actually see all 12 nvidia gpu's and whether the miners out there can work with 12 at a time. Otherwise I might as well target 8 gpu boards.

2 12 card rigs will tend to be a LITTLE less expensive than 4 6-card rigs - but if one rig goes down that's a LOT more lost income, and it's more of a pain to troubleshoot.
They're also a bigger pain to set up in the first place, though if you can find a B250 Mining Expert MB at a reasonable price it reduces the pain somewhat due to the on-board multi-PS management.
In my case, most of my rigs are 5-card because I already have the MB/CPU/RAM/HD from "left-over" FAH rigs and because I can configure them EASILY to run on about 6 amps of power per rig (which lets me put 2 rigs on a standard 15 amp US 117VAC circuit SAFELY).
They're not the most OPTIMAL rigs possible, but I make up some of the difference by having the CPU mining Monero (or working Gridcoin for some I've not "converted" to full up riser-based mining rigs yet).

Did you not notice the questions, thats what I was asking about.

Just remembered I have 5 old ass desktops collecting dust with i7 3770k's in them cracked one open, the board only has 3 slots so probably wont use it for mining. Good news is they all have 4 8gb sticks of ram in each of them, so i'll be taking those for new rigs lol. Can't believe I have so much crap I just let get burried in the garage. Found 4 boxes with a bunch of tp link routers, $200 each router, 10 in each box. I'll be returning all 40 of these to costco. Gotta love that they've been sitting in the garage for 3 years, But I'll still be returning it for an $8,000 full refund.
I second this, usually can find for $80 on Amazon/Newegg but last I checked they were out.

This one is cheap.
PS. I've edited from here.
That Biostar Micro ATX is a new one. It could be hard to find it.
Another good link about that Gigabyte board...

Last board is definately interesting and theprice is right.
Are there any 8 gpu boards that are reliable? I was thinking of doing 24 gpus and using 4 machines, but of course 3 machines would be better. The reviews seem all mixed for 8 gpu boards though.

the ones I used to build this are good. not great but good.

RAM is DDR3 or DDr4 ?
and what is the CPU which you prefer ?

BIOSTAR TB85 provides one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and five PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots, allowing a maximum of six graphics accelerators to be installed. Also has a high-quality element base (exclusively Japanese solid capacitors) and a radiator on the elements of the power subsystem. Or BIOSTAR TB150 PRO.
Apologize if this is the wrong forum to ask. I was looking at this board GIGABYTE GA-H110-D3A (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel H110 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard basically because it got good reviews and its cheap.
Are there any other sub 100 dollar motherboards with socket 1151 that can do 6 gpu reliably? This one is out of stock every time I blink.

I use many TB85, its LGA 1150 but the only reason imo to go for 1151 is to get AES ni celerons and that's not really worth it anyways.
