Title: Will any mobo work for 6 GPU mining? Post by: Sugetsu on May 24, 2017, 07:51:33 PM If I buy a mobo that has 6 PCIe slots and get 6 PCIe raiser cards will it work for mining no matter the chipset? For example: http://www.microcenter.com/product/467528/TUF_Sabertooth_990FX_R30_AM3_ATX_AMD_Motherboard, or does it have to be h97, z97 h61 or h81?

Not all motherboard with 6+ PCIe slots will run 6 GPUs. There are other factors, like how many PCIe lanes are available. Sometimes plugging in a device to one PCIe slot will disable a different PCIe slot. It's safest to find what other people have shown to work with 6 or 7 cards and just buy that one. |
