Title: Is it a Good Mtherboard for mining ?
Post by: daupheus on April 10, 2016, 10:34:27 AM

Hello all,

I've go a GA-P35-DS3R with 1 PCI Express X16 slot and 3 PCI Express X1 slots (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2543#sp)

I plan to buy 3 r9 390 and connect them on it with a 1700W Lepa MaxPlatinum

is it a good idea / start ?

thank you in advance :)

You musty check which PCI-e version is used.
Some problem may happen when u plug recent GPU on PCI-E 2.0 ports. (I mean, sometime its just impossible, even if, i know, theoretically, this should be ok, its not).

You're going to buy PCI-E x16 -> x1 adapter to plug GPU on x1 ports, right? Which one then?

I'm kinda looking for those kind of things

Hi,

thank you for your answer.

I'll check the version so :)

For the riser I will use USB raiser but I will buy this one https://www.amazon.fr/MENGS%C2%AE-Express16x-Adaptateur-Expansion-Propuls%C3%A9/dp/B00JOZ05KC?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_5&smid=A3JZTMFUUQ40AH

no first off the mobo is really old

but I question your choice of cards more then anything

380's or 370's are a better choice

also do you own that psu?

http://www.lepatek.com/eng/product_content/1/1/64/#produkte

it is multi rail

rail 1 20 amps >>>>> will not cover the 390
rail 2 20 amps >>>>> will not cover the 390
rail 3 30 amps
rail 4 30 amps
rail 5 30 amps
rail 6 30 amps

the 370's use 1 wire and will not overload the psu.

the 380x below is pretty good

This is better choice. With the 380x, you do not need 1600W. With 390, you need the 1600W and you have to undervolt.
