Are there any chassis recommendations for this board?

Cheers,
Andy

We will have the 4U rack mount chassis in the shop soon. It will come with 7X high power delta fans, the fans are loud but have really high airflow and are very efficient at cooling. For testing purposes I switched them out for more quiet ones on the 8X 1060 GTX test rig, temps were around 55-63 before. Now with the quieter fans the temps are 65-72C.

Could you add the option to purchase the rack mount with the quieter fans? Interested in picking up the mobo but will wait for a good chassis to come up

Yes, we plan to add the option to switch the fans for quieter ones. Currently we are testing multiple types of fans to find which ones are best suitable.

Sycthe ultra kaze are good . Move 133 cfm pull way less power.

I would love a case with those fans.

I have used lots of slot boards.

This one will be better suited for Linux as the celron CPUs are slow.

Eight 1050 tis with the ultra kaze fans would be a quieter miner

Thanks for the recommendation, we will look into the Scythe fans.

I would probably use double ball bearing fans instead of fans with sleeve bearing. I had to remove so many Scythe fans from my server cases it's not even funny. BTW, ordered 1 of your motherboard to try

Supposedly sleeve bearing fans are the quietest but I guess for mining purposes reliability and high airflow are more important.

How many fan headers are available? I can see only one in the provided pictures. If yes, I guess we will need to use an external fan controller for case fans.

How much faster is the 4415U CPU vs 3855U?

id say if youre running windows, youll save yourself a bit of headache by having a more capable cpu. for linux the lower tier is ideal/enough

Exactly this. If you are running linux then the 3855u is fine, it's good for Windows also just the OS might run a bit slower but mining performance is not affected. We have tested the 3855u boards with Win 10 and they work perfectly fine.

or
Thanks for clarification. What is estimated shipping times for both boards? Will any 3855u faster in shipping than 4415u board, or vice versa?

Shipping times for both the 3855u board and the 4415u board are the same. Both will be shipped out in the end of January or beginning of February.

Hiya,

If I were to buy a board today/within next few days, to the UK, would it be shipped with the Janurary batch or is it too late?
Also what is your guy returns policy, with things such as issues etc?

Thanks

Currently we are still accepting orders for the end of January, beginning of February batch.

We offer a 1 year warranty. If there is anything wrong with the board then we will ship you a new one.

So what would this rig have to offer in layman's terms? what graphics cards and what would you be able to mine? ether? and would it be profitable to build and use. Sorry, i'm new to all of this and i'm trying to gather info on mining and determine a sort of entry plan. This design looks a bit different but also more upscale than most of the boards that i have seen.

Any updates on compatibility with the AMD 7000 series CPU's and the R9's?

I'm currently running a mix of both but would be interested in this board to simplify setup.

Also, how is power controlled? I see that it does not have a 24pin atx connector located at the solder points on the board so it must pull all the power from the 6pin connectors, I'm wondering how power on/off is accomplished. Personally I'd like to have 2 or 3 24pin atx connectors, even if just to be able to control the power on/off of multiple PSU's without the need for extra adapters or splicing wires.

Hi!

I have not tested it with 7000 series or R9 cards, but I did test it with a AMD HD 6990 and it worked perfectly fine. So I am quite sure the AMD 7000 series and R9 cards work fine too.
Power is delivered via 2X 6 PIN connectors to the motherboard. Once you switch on the power supply then the motherboard will turn on also. No need to splice any extra wires.

Is it necessary to plug in the other 3 6 pin PCIE connectors on the motherboard, or just 2 of the 5 total? If so, how much power is supplied through each port? (wondering about splitters if using 16 AWG cables)

Just 2 cables is enough for most cards. Let's say if you have cards like 1050 or 1050 TI that don't have an extra 6 pin power connector on the card, then you should connect all of the 5 6PIN power input connectors on the motherboard.

So here's a URL with a list of various 1080ti cards.

https://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/geforce-gtx-1080-ti-custom-graphics-card-roundup

So you would recommend ones that have a size of "2 slots"

Of the ones listed, which models would work the best with your motherboard?

Thanks.

Quote from: octominer on January 21, 2018, 12:24:10 PM

I recommend you get 1080ti's that are less than 4CM thick and don't have backplates. The backplate keeps too much heat on the backside of the card and the next card will suck it in with the fan.

We might develop a 12/13 card board later in the year. Thanks for the feedback.

4GB and 8GB SO DIMM DDR4 ram sticks will be added to the website later today. We will have the best price on the market

Pretty slick. I bet you sell a ton of these..... keeping inventory in stock (including racks, etc.) will probably be a real headache for you.
