My recommendations are as follows:
The highly efficient Nvidia GTX 1070 motherboard can produce 32 Mh / s using only 140 watts of electricity (more efficient) 4GB DDR4 1600Mhz RAM, 1D Hard Drive SSD

GTX1070 is not a motherboard... Huh

I believe they are similar, go for the z270 GAMING M5 there is a guide on bitcointalk.org on building a 7 gpu rig on it -

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/msi-z170a-gaming-m5-7-gpu-solved-1873651

. In case you encounter any problems when building the rig you can refer to the link and there`ll be many people on this forum willing to help you. Also don`t purchase a intel kabylake cpu, purchase an intel celeron g3900 skylake cpu or higher.

Thanks but what about
Maximus viii hero
Asus tuf z270 mark2

Are they both will make problems running 6 Gpus and I read for MSi z270 to Run 6 Gpus will need to Custom Mod Bios.

I have not used any of the motherboards you`ve listed but, I have a biostar tb85 and msi z270a pro carbon. The biostar tb85 is easier to set up and is more stable than the msi z270a pro carbon. However the biostar tb85 has 6 pcie slots while the msi z270a pro carbon has 7 pcie slots, but you can use dual gpus such as amd 295x2 or an expansion card to install more than 6 gpus on the biostar tb85.

Thanks for the info but biostar motherboards are not available here and Are these
Z270 GAMING M7
Z270 GAMING M5

also like msi z270a pro carbon?

Hi
I got few motherboard options which motherboard should i choose from these motherboards, I will Run 470 or 480 6 Graphics Cards.

Maximus viii hero
Asus tuf z270 mark2
Z270 GAMING M7
Z270 GAMING M5
ROG STRIX Z270F GAMING

Please post which motherboard is problem free, I mean which motherboard will power up 6 cards without any problem or any mining issue and Please also post your experience with any motherboard which you are using.

Thanks

Is the 270 chipset the overall best for ethereum and 6 (to possibly 8 ) cards.

Yeah, get a Z270 board, but make sure it's compatible with 6-8 cards.
