Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.
i'm using gigabyte am2+ and am3 old motherboard just about 25-30usd(not new) in here
it have 5 pcie and i'm using 1 to 3 multiplier so all is 7 gpu
and it's all work fine Grin,all x4 procesor.
i have asrock btc it just can boot with 7 gpu too,cannot boot if i add 8 gpu,no mather what procesor i put on it.
i have asus rampage black edition too(expensive one),it just support i7 procesor,it has 6 pcie,using 1 to 3 multiplier it can boot 8gpu.
biostar 990fxa am3 it have 4 pcie..i can add 2x 1 to 3  Grin..but it just can boot 7 too,cannot boot if i add 8.
the most i can add gpu is in z170 asus(expensive too),if i'm using celeron it just can boot 7 gpu,if i'm using i7..i can add 2 of 1to3 multiplier and it's working all.
so until now if i build new rig,i just using the gigabyte old one,it's very cheap hahaha  Grin

This is brilliant news man. Thank you for testing it with all your motherboards. I would request everyone here to do the same, for the benefit of the community.
Can you get 8 cards to work on the Asus Rampage? Are 8 cards mining using Claymores with that combination?

For now, I can get 7 cards to work on Asrock H81 Pro BTC V2, and the Biostar TB85, but 8 GPU's do not work on either of these boards under windows.
Will be testing them on linux with 8 GPU. Then will also test it on the MSI Gaming 5/7 for 8 cards, and the several Am2+ and Am3 boards I have and report back here.

jstefanop when you going to come out with this thing?
I'm curious how much it will even cost.. how much cheaper will it be than making my own system cuz like... I'm waiting to buy this but i'm wanting to just go ahead and build a new system  with the standard parts  Undecided

Any further news?

I'm curious if this custom solution will work with 8GB cards, or only with 4GB cards?

Its a custom solution that would work with ANY card, could be future Vega 12GB cards as well.

Yes there is no theoretical limit to what my solution will work with, should be fine with Nvidia cards as well. I am specifically testing with a mix of 470s/480s with 4/8GB

when can we expect more details Smiley My F5 button is almost dead. Big investors are waiting here Smiley

Ill post official announcement either this weekend or early next week.

It is past early next week, any update? Smiley

There is quite a shortage of 6x motherboards in EU, very interested in the topic.

I'm a really interested on the topic, as a possible future small miner to build my first rig. I have little space for a rig, so saving a mobo/psu/cpu/hdd would be perfect if I want to invest in more than 6 gpu. Congrats!

Nope personally designed custom solution. Everything else out there was either cheap Chinese crap, or overpriced crap.

Is your solution for large scale farmers, or small scale (~few rigs) enthusiast miners?

Here another little teaser for you guys  Grin

Finished the second dev board and have 4 more GPUs coming in so should be able to test the full 16 GPU setup. I was knocked out with strep all last week so didn't have time to work on the project Sad


Holy Ballsacks Batman, 16 on one board, this would be a big one. I hope you will be able to supply to small time end users, since im expecting farms to swarm all over you anytime now Cheesy
Are you by any chance using something like this http://amfeltec.com/products/gpu-oriented-cluster/

No, it won't make difference. Address allocation is the key.

Well, just an update what I found out so far. Without custom hardware and just using standard MB with switch/bridge there is a 7 GPU limit to RX cards. I have not tried 2 Switches with 2 cards per switch yet but I doubt it would make any difference. Except if anyone else got it right.
