Title: got an i7-7700 and a Z270 board - will let you know, whether itīs good 4 mining
Post by: PanneKopp on December 26, 2016, 06:58:34 PM
Hi Folks,

I got an i7-7700 and a Z270 board - will let you know, wether itīs good 4 mining.

I will order some PCI-E bridges 2 check, whether more than 4 GPUs (comp. Z170) are possible.

... not a cheap solution, if it really is one (2 be proofed).

Try CPU mining for XMR, plz - it will be interesting to see the stats

Well If you bought your PC only for mining than it's really bad. But based on your CPU and MB, guess it's all-around PC and you will mine during night or when not using it. In that case since you plan on having multiple GPUs you should disable all but one when not mining because of power draw.

Why would it be really bad, that processor also has resale value, in one year if he would decide to invest more into mining, he could just sell it.

Why ? well CPU mining is dead, and for the price of I7-7700 he could have bought 2 RX 470 cards and have 10x more hashrate so I don't really understand your point of view here.

kabylakes got 4 additional pcie lines compared to previous cpus
so maybe it will support at least 6 gpus
(who cares about roi? :) )

I am running a i5 7500  in a z270

I upgraded windows 10 pro to windows enterprise  which may be needed to do 5 or more gpus.

At the moment I am only running 2 gpus in the build. 

I did a review on newegg  on the build and over the next week to 2 weeks  I will get this build up to  5 cards if possible.

Why do you think, that windows enteprise may be needed? I never heard it.

I heard this from a few others in the pandaminer posts  it may be needed for 7 more more not 5 or more.

So any luck making 6 gpus to work, those extra 4 pcie lanes on z270 should help.

Try CPU mining for XMR, plz - it will be interesting to see the stats

Curious to know XMR hashrate as well with Claymore 3.5 if you are using Windows.

Bumping this thread in case anybody got 6 gpus working on the z270, h270 or b250.

Thank you, lets hope 6 will work on it, planning to add a 6th card?

No

Many reasons why.  The simple reason is I prefer slot mining over riser mining.

My five card build uses 575 watts and is really compact.

I can use a evga 750 watt p2 psu.

Simply no need to run six cards.

I posted more photos on the other thread.

The 6th card would prove that the Z270 can run it, the Z270 has few extra lanes more than Z170, the Z170 cant run 6 or more gpu's.

here is the board:

it has 6 slots  so I have  to play with it more   to get it to do six.

I would be grateful if you could prove the extra lanes on Z270 really helps in making a 6th gpu to work.
