Can anyone confirm functionality of these:

Really struggling to find a cpu that has concrete reviews that is also in stock haha

The MSI should be good, they say it's for mining crypto currencies. I didn't find ppl use it, so I've bought Asus Prime Z270 P instead. There are lot of videos with this board about mining mainly in russian. This week I will test it, but I have only 4 GPUs to test with.
I also bought G3930 Celeron, there is no reason to buy better CPU for me, all have same PCIe lines. Or if you want more performance buy Pentium it has HT so about 25% more powerul. If you have lot of money to spend buy i3,i5,i7...

Guys what about this ASrock FM2A88X Extreme4+ or ASUS H81M-PLUS ? i find them really cheap and cpu i can get cheap so will be good, ad i have 8gb ddr3 in home for this so more save money for next card

I've got 1 or 2 rigs running on the FM2A88X Extreme 4+, but I don't do riser rigs so no idea how well it works with more than 2 cards.
It IS solid with 2 cards though, but I prefer the Extreme 6+ version for my own rigs.

A GOOD 1000 watt power supply (EVGA G2 or P2 series, not sure if there is a Seasonic X-series at the 1000 watt level in gold but I think I remember a 1000 or 1050 Plat X-series) should handle 6x RX 470/480/570/580 card rig on just ETH if you undervolt and keep the power limit down a bit.

Got an auto-notify from Newegg today saying the BIOSTAR TB85's were back in stock for $79.

Clicked the link, sold out.

The MSI 970 GAMING only has 4 PCI-E slots.

Is there a difference between the ASUS PRIME Z270-AR and the MSI Z270-A PRO?

Obviously there are more PCIe slots.

why you dont like the MSI Z270-A Pro? i have this and is perfect

6 gpu is working with no problems?

yes but you need to activate something in the bios to make the motherboard check for more than 3 gpu, after that you can run even 8 gpu on that motherboard, i still like the asrock more because it come with more power, but the asus one as the M2 which is very good for removing some cables

I want to order 6x Sapphire AMD RX480 Nitro+ the ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer will be rnough for it ?? and what Supply for it 1000W will be good ?

Depending on if you are dual mining or not a 1000 W platinum rated PSU is sufficient for up to 7 RX 4XX/5XX cards per rig with bios mod and will save you money in the long run over a gold.

only ethereum, okay so i will not have any problem to work on 6 gpu ?

For ETH only, 1000w is fine. You can look up the evga g2 1300 in case you decide to dual mine.

TB250 works out of the box for 6 but obviously if you are trying to do a 7 card rig you have to go with the PRIME Z270-A.

Is the msi z170a gaming pro carbon any good for 7 rx5xx cards?

If not that one, what other board will support 7 5xx cards?

Thanks

Z170 won't work with 7 gpu. Z270 works. Asus Z270 Prime can run up to 9 gpu.

Can you provide proof that it can and stablily?

I think you are wrong here.
6 GPUs should not be a problem without messing with the bios.
If you don´t have enough PCIe slots use USB-PCIe risers.

You have to set TOLUD to 3.5 or lower... or enable 4G above.

I assume that is the prime A with 7 pcie slots?

Also, what seems to be the problem with the z170a gaming pro carbon? I know people ran 7 cards on that one.

Thanks

There is not enough PCIe lines. I also read that there are lot of problems with this chipset. But you can try.

I'm not sure which it is, but the expensive one. I've bought Prime P.
