Title: Repurpose old MB for ETH Mining (EX58 UD5)
Post by: gateway on May 17, 2017, 08:52:40 PM
I have a few of these GA-EX5 UD5 MB's laying around with ram, cpu and power supplies.  I was looking at the diagram and it *seems* like in theory I could run 5 graphic cards off of it for mining.

Anyone used this board or have any suggestions for it?
