Topic: Multiple gtx 1060 mining, what do I need in a motherboard? - page 2. (Read 286 times)
better using 6 or 7 GPUs because of having a bit problem if using an M2 adapter. personally, I like 6x GPUs on each motherboard because it has a problem easier solved. but I know every miner has a different suggestion.
After lots of research I'm going to be building a multiple gtx 1060 rig but I'm a little confused by the PCI-e requirements.
With something like this how can I tell how many 1060's I would be able to hook up to it?
For reference it has:
PCI Express 3.0 x16:
2 PCI-E 3.0 x16 (1 x16 or dual x8) slots
1 PCI-E 3.0 x16 (x4) slot
PCI Express x4:
1 PCI-E 3.0 x4 slot
PCI Express x1:
2 PCI-E 3.0 x1 (in x4) slots
Other Slots
1 PCIe M.2 (PCIe x4 2260/2280/22110)
Which are useful, which aren't and why? I'm looking towards the future and I may look at 4-8 GPUs at some point. How many can this Mobo handle and how did you come to that conclusion?
Thanks in advance!

It's kinda simply - you need risers for 2 PCI-E 3.0 x1 (the simplest to find)
1 PCI-E 3.0 x4 and 1 PCIe M.2 (so you can connect there 4 GPU)
2 PCI-E 3.0 x16 (1 x16 or dual x8) slots
can work with 4 cards using extenders from x8 to x16
and the last slot 1 PCI-E 3.0 x16 (x4) slot can be utilized using extender.
So maximum 9 GPU, but find all this risers/extenders would not be easy for ya.
And the last question - have you really calculated income from it ?
So without having to look for lots of specialty items, I can easily do a 4 GPU rig with the mobo. That's great to know! Thanks!
I've looked over enough to know I want to get into hobbyining. Once I know what I'm doing I'll probably be adding more GPUs, assuming it's profitable.
My electricity is 0.06USD/kwh at night, and I'll only be mining at night for maximum profitability, so yeah I know what I'm getting into. I just did the calculations for 1 GPU and that wasn't exactly exciting by any means, which is why I'll possibly want 4-6 in the future.
I'm also looking into a 1000w psu so I can add GPUs down the road.
Yep you can install 4-5 GPU easily.
Right now ya can install 3GPU into 3 PCI 3 x16 slots without buing anything
