Title: Motherboard question, please.
Post by: DD47 on June 12, 2017, 11:43:48 PM
Well, I may have messed up.

I am planning on building six rigs - 6-GPUs each.  All GPUs are GTX 1060s

The motherboards I ordered are:

(5) ASRock H270 Pro4 LGA 1151 Intel H270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboards - Intel
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157735

and

(1) ASRock H270M Pro4 LGA 1151 Intel H270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboards - Intel
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157735

I have yet to order the processors, if that is important to answering the following question.


Will these motherboards be able to support 6 GPUs, with appropriate risers - or did I get the wrong type of motherboards?


Thank you,
Dave

Usually you want to confirm that the motherboard will work before purchasing.

There is a post that has a list of motherboards that will work with 6,7,8,9 GPUs. Use the search.

Did you research about the parts you ordered before placing the order ?
Who recommended these motherboards for you ?

I did do a search for my specific motherboards - and there weren't many conclusive or similar instances.  Should have been a clue that not many people were using them.

I did not search, however, for a list of motherboards.  Thank you, I'll look for the list.

It's not necessary to be condescending. Please just pass on the post rather than try to make someone feel like an idiot.

Welcome to the forum to me.

Good day

lots of people don't want to let others in on this.

I don't mind at all.

Here is my 2 cents don't build 6 card rigs
Build 3 and 4 card rigs.  easy to work and more stable.
small psu's

the rig below will beat a six card amd rig at mining cash  and it can got to 4 cards with 1 riser.
