I purchased a new ONDA B250 D8P Ver 1.00 (the 12 slot board) and got it up and running easily. It ran with 6GPUs for just over two full days and then tonight it seems to have just died while it was working. It won't boot or post and never even wakes up the display now.
I reseated memory and pulled the battery and put it back. Also tried a new USB stick that boots in another board fine. No lights ever light on the ethernet port. No dice.

Any tips on troubleshooting this board?

My older ver with 6 PCIe is going to be here next week. Will update with AMD GPU results.

Thank you Phil for sharing, highly appreciated.

Any feedback on the board so far?

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.

Same thing for me, I have 6 PCI-E connectors instead of molex and sata connections. Also, they state ddr3 memory but looking at Voskoin video, seems he used DDR4. Stange as DDR3 and 4 don't have the same key for installation...

Any advice?

instead of 3 sata and 3 molex mine has (6) 6pin connectors. also hooked up the 24pin mobo cable and the cpu. I will send pics later when I get home

I don't understand what is 6pin connectors do. They are used instead 8pin GPU's connectors?
I would like to make my first rig and collect all information for it in the internet.
I would like to use this motherboard, but ver2 with 8 pcie, 8 gtx 1080 ti and psu. And I don't understand which kind of connectors I need.
An ordinary board needs one 24pin, one 4+4pin and nothing anything. But this one has above plus 6 6pin.

Since these boards are so cheap compared to the brand named ones.
I would guess they don't have wifi capabilities built in.

Which motherboards have this available to them for adding 8+ gPUs?

the board is solid

I purchased 1 sample then 10 then another 10

so 21 boards 1 dud

and I believe the buyer forced a ddr3 stick into it first then the correct ddr4

there are more then one build with it on my thread and here is my youtube on it

Hi philipma1957,

I just bought 3 Onda B250 BTC-D8P and tried using it for simple mining os but it keeps hanging, I also tried it on ethos and kept getting kernel panic errors once I tried to install more than 1 gpu.

Could you advice me on your bios settings for this board and what I should do as I now have 36 rx580 8gb gpus and 3 of those boards that I am still unable to mine. Thanks, I have also dropped you an email, really hope you can help me on this, would love to talk to you and hopefully you can share with me your knowledge on these boards. Would really appreciate it. Thanks

All my boards use nvidia cards and smos for nvidia

unfortunately I have no boards using AMD cards and I no longer use amd cards to mine as they suck for the most part due to issues like yours. In fact the one guy that setup amd cards on our thread had more problens with his board then anyone else.

I have used all of mine or sold them and have 0 spares. it has 8 full slots and 4 slots for risers

if you want access to all 8 full slots and the 4 risers you need to use shorter cards like the zotac 1070 mini

I'm not philipma but have you considered using win10 build 1709? it can support 12 AMD GPUs now without problem.

---

Am I missing something or am I only seeing 8 PCIE slots instead of 12? Checked the link aliexpress webpage too but still can't see 12.

Hi philipma, would you happen to have 1 more ONDA lying around? I'm interested in buying one from you.

i am looking to import them to the UK and was wondering who would be interested in them. I have heard great things of them and the best bit is they do not require risers.

I would be interested in one at least, I saw this board a few days ago in some video and I think they are a great idea. I was looking around to see where I could get one from. If you end up stocking them, let me know!

IMO the biggest issue with the board is the spacing of the slots makes cooling marginal on higher-powered cards.

Good looking motherboard but the price can be cheaper.

Sweet. That would be a nice board for my next build. Just noticed tho that it no longer includes the built in CPU or the mobile laptop RAM compatibility. The previous version ONDA1800 had those features. I wonder why they dropped it and went with a regular CPU and DDR4 RAM.

Too bad you can't order just 1 piece because the minimum is 10 and you still have to bid. Anyone want to do a group buy? Lol

They do the CPU and Ram on the 8 gpu version not the 12
