I'm sorry for my English.
Phil, can you show photos of your rig with GPUs and wires?
I don't understand what 6 power sockets do in this board and how to supply the board by psu without 24pin socket.
Thank you.
it doesn't matter, just run it first for the future

Always hook them all up;  BUT.....


you can use the first 7 16x slots with all but the last SATA power connector populated.... as I am doing with my board (v1.0) right now.


but furthermore;
Its recommended to just power them all.

Does anybody have the schematics for the hole distances and general dimensions for the ONDA B250 D8P V1.00?

Spotswood would;  check the thread above;  he may be able to help you.

I'm not about to disassemble things to measure mine......

Well, I have an issue with the GPU fans diing because of the constant torture of being ran 24/7 and the environment they are in. So, I'm looking to install all the GPUs into server cases, and will switch mobos if needed.

Can you post a link to your case?



GPU fans dying could be the case;  but if you are not running at stock settings and seeing above 72* average heatsoaked temps;  the fans will die surely no matter what.  It took me ~2-3 years to kill a set of fans on my Strix GTX980 in a cramped computer case with slightly questionable ventilation....  which for mining 24/7 since I bought it, isn't a bad run in my opinion.    The GPU deserved a new $40 set of fans before selling it for $350 =)

I saw this board showcased here: https://youtu.be/FyA07jMYCaw

Is this board reliable long-term?

Looking on AliBaba they have this https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/4U-12-GPUs-Ethereum-Mining-Rack_60731623524.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.76.1f1f4b1bwWgf66

Im really thinking of putting the the farm in a bunch of those  Grin

Thoughts?

Best board ever.  Few issues to speak of.   Awesome performance, and sturdily built.  They had their heads completely on straight by rev2.

I have one that chugs away mining XMR with older (pre 9xx series nvidia) cards.   Lots of spacing, good power distribution... What's not to like?

They are just picky on the ram modules you buy.  They really love the low voltage only (1.2v) modules on the DDR4 boards.   Someone may correct me, but I believe they swapped to DDR3 on the newer revision boards.... but I could be completely mistaken on that notion... you might wanna research that.    I own a REV1.

I bought a spotswood frame for mine, and it was worth every penny to keep myself from having to build an enclosure... and I didn't want to spend the crazy amounts for the Chinese case that fits them.   I think the spotswood open frame is better.

There was a difference initially but since changed ram and re tested.

Desktop = 16gb
Onda= 4gb

Since my last post i purchased an Asus B250 mining pro board expecting the poor performance to be a result of Onda board.

Sadly even with the Asus B250 running 16gb Crusial ballistic ram (borrowed from desk top) the results are exactly the same.

952 core 1780mem is maximum tuning achieved with 308mh @ 1530watts.

Im positive its a performance trade off when running more cards per board.

Ive since ordered a another Onda Board M06 6x GPU riserless with built in CPU.
It arrives in a few days.

FYI anyone interested in Buying my new Asus B250 and a couple new Onda B250 boards? I have 4 Onda in total but will probably keep 2 regardless.

If the riserless M06 motherboard proves successful ill be sold on max 6gpus per rig.

The issue with the 1st slot is that it needs to be set to Auto like the others That seemed to fix the issue for me.
As for your performance issue it does not seem to be a mainboard issue but with the card and mining client settings. Trial and error to get the right mix is all you can really do. Is there a difference in the amount of ram between your desktop and the Onda setup?

Hello guys, I  got few rigs set up on this Onda B250 D8P motherboard and all share the same problem - everything works great on every possible setup, except when you put card in 1st GPU slot(the 16x one), then it gives out constant 4Mh/s from a GPU that is in the first slot and other cards get unstable hashate(keeps jumping up and down), which also gives SMOS monitor wrong info on monitoring. It works perfectly on a  7 card setup with 1st slot being empty.


just got the same problem. With all my motherboards. Long time lurking and the fix is:


1) load bios
2) system agent
3) gpu settings
4) port 1 was set not like others. just set the same settings for port 1 like for others.


Wow thank you 100x .  Spent all day looking for this solution.

If anyone is having trouble on the v4 motherboard just look for port settings and match port 1 settings with port 2 and 3 (set everything to auto).

On version 1 Port 1-4 are disabled.
But the fix suggested online was....  Bios/Chipset/System Agent/Peg Port config/Peg 0:1:0 Max Link speed = Gen2

I have 12 RX570 ITX Pulse cards running but cant seem achieve ideal performance.
Max is 307mh @ 1520watts.
Anything over 26mh requires massive increase in watts.
Anything over 950core and wattage sky rockets.
anything over 1780 memory and system crashes.
0.2mh/watt is acceptable but not the low mh.
The exact same card when tested on my desktop performs @ 29.5mh with 1090core and 2000memory.

Is anyone having success at hi hash using AMD cards on the Onda board?

Is the suggested bios mod used for fixing 1st pcie slot problems (which appears to only exist with AMD Cards) hampering my performance?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Im using SMOS.
Id like to achieve 29mh per card like they're capable of.

Im missing 15% of their true performance with the onda board. Or am i chasing a rainbow?

That is good to know. Which Celeron is in it? I never looked close at the CPU?

I bought the Onda D1800 one that has 6 PCI-E slot and comes with a built in Celeron CPU.

I can confirm it works fine without any issues for several months now.  Very Satisfied with it Smiley

I think it might be because these boards slipped under the radar and not a lot of individuals got them. I find most of them in data centers.
Still they do work great.

These are some amazing tips and thank you. I am amused that why no one discusses this.

the best thing about them is that they don’t need risers and people are really talking about it.

Facepalm

Solved. I did not insert the ram deep enough diagonally on both boards during install.


Haha, rock on!

Don't worry, it happens waaaaay more often than you'd think......
