Hello im sure you can run on this motherboard up to 8 GPUs, but you gonna need x2 M2 to PCIE

And again you can get cheaper motherboard, I would suggest you to get Gigabyte H110 Mining or Z270 K3 Gaming

Hey, I've got this motherboard and was wondering if it's fine for 6 x 1070ti GPU mining rig? There's only 3 slots that I can use with risers to bring GPUs up like everybody does and then 3 cards should be put on the motherboard? Just wondering if it's fine or I should buy motherboard like everybody else uses.

It's got:
2 x PCIe 3.0 x 16 SafeSlots (Support x16, x8/x8)
1 x PCIe 3.0 x 16(at x2 mode)
3 x PCIe 3.0 x 1
First of all, a graphics card in the second pci-e x16 slot will block one of the pci-e. Another issue is that this card won't have enough air supply if you have another card in the third pci-e x16. So I wouldn't try leaving more than two gpus in the motherboard (using the top and the bottom pci-e x16 only), the rest - with risers.

Probably, but i'd go for cheaper/mining boards, like the TB85 for like 60$ on LGA 1150. They're a strait upgrade from H81 etc pro btc boards.

You shouldnt plug gpus directly into the motherboard, go 100% usb risers.

Is it hard to read this at the top of this section?
