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.

You can disregard completely, I didn't read your whole post and see you want a 1151 board.

I like using my old "ASRock A785GM-LE Micro" boards with AM3 Sempron + 2gb DRR2. I have used these for a lot of different builds, linux NAS, linux server, Win7 GPU miner, SMos 6x GPU. They have 6x sata and 6 usb port (1 of these once ran a lot of gridseed orbs, with double daisy chained 10 port hubs)

They run 6 GPU's with no issues or bios mods.

Sorry to sound stupid, but how would that board take 6gpu when it doesn't have 6 pci express slots?

You need PCI-E extender cards 1 to 4 extenders. One in each PCI-e slot give you availability for 8 cards. I have run 6 but not 8 in this setup. Its probably only worth doing if you have a MB without enough slots. If you are buying new then you won't have an issue.

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.

MSI Z270-A PRO is priced below 100USD and easily can support up to 7GPUs (6 in PCI-e an 1 in M.2 slot via proper M.2 to PCI-e adapter). Tested with different Nvidia GPUs on Win 10 Pro and Win 8.1

Where exactly is that board under 100?
