WELL    I have only done two builds  with it  and it works well.  I have looked closely for another choice  and  


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132637&ignorebbr=1   485 usd fuck that

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128878R&ignorebbr=1  322 usd open box really fuck that

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132686R&ignorebbr=1 275  usd open box  "       "      "


the two below are not tested but look okay  


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157649&ignorebbr=1 210 usd new has an extra four pin for the mobo ___asrock

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130870&ignorebbr=1  269 usd new it can use more power on the mobo it has a 6 pin connector----msi


I am getting a bit low funds wise.

    I would be tempted to order the asrock  I may do so.

Great topic Phil!

Are any other MBs with 4 PCI slots except Biostar, which you can recommend?

deleted  here is why


 A  Pirate of  windows 7 is not legal I don't tell people to commit a crime .

You can buy windows 7 on amazon or ebay  for 45 to 50 bucks or so and not commit a crime.

If you chose to steal or pirate windows 7  that is your choice and not mine.
I am going to build a third one  with all rx 470's
I hope to finish it by next Friday.


This one is running nicely


goal for colder weather is to have these stacked on a shelf like this.

Parts list is:

 two sapphire  reference at  a total of $513.58
one xfx reference oc at                      $258.89
one diamond reference at                   $263.00

one biostar mobo  z 170  at               $118.22
two sticks of 8gb ram      at               $ 72.00
1 intel g4400 cpu from ebay at          $ 50.00
1 windows 7 pro    from ebay at         $50.00
1 seasonic 850 watt gold                   $99.00
1 m2 ssd 240gb at  ....                    $77.00
1 silverstone cooler at ....                   20.00
Total .................                        $1520.00


so how to trim back on this build cost  get 4 of these

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202230

4 rx 470's    will be 800 plus shipping and tax

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138421&cm_re=biostar_z170-_-13-138-421-_-Product

the same mobo is 129.99


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA53D1K18199&cm_re=m2_ssd-_-9SIA53D1K18199-_-Product

smaller m2 ssd is 45


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438018&ignorebbr=1

evga psu is 99.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117625&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=intel_g4400-_-19-117-625-_-Product

cpu with cooler 65

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104532&cm_re=ddr4_ram-_-20-104-532-_-Product

ram 2 x 4 = 8gb 40 bucks


800 --------gpu
129 --------mobo
  45--------m2 ssd
100--------psu
 65--------cpu
 40--------ram
 50-------- for windows 7

1229 cost

 now  I have two rx 480 four card builds  at about 1500 each  the cheaper build with rx 470's is yet to be built.

but it is 300 cheaper .

My next build will be one of those. to be sure it works.

Looks nice..  Pretty small size
What did it cost to build?  4 RX 480's  are about 250 each right?  So that would be $1000.00

I have a four card build with 4 rx 480's
I have a four card build with 4 rx 480's
I have a two card build with 2 rx 470's
I have a two card build with 1 rx 480 + 1 rx 470
I have a two card build with 1 rx 480 + 1 rx 470

I will fill in more info later.

But special note  I have returned my rx 460 cards and do not think they are good for mining for the average miner.
I do like  rx 480  and rx 470 cards.

older r9 390 cards are good but power hungry
I avoid them due to my power costs.
I don't flash bios  as I am lazy maybe one day.


Here is 1 of my four card builds no risers all mobo




here it is mining



very compact unit for 95-100mh at 600 watts or so.



first step was a panel on mdf and a ¼ panel of plywood attach four feet
my cost was zero I had the panel from building speakers


drilled a hole for every mobo screw drilled 4 large holes for cpu screws this is if I want to do a bias aftermarket cooler in the future
drilled a circle hole to allow access to cpu plate


almost ready for the mobo


a better cpu cooler but still low cost and it stays out of the way
