Title: Asrock Z68 Extreme 3 gen 3 compatible with 6 or 7 GPU? Post by: shan2026 on September 12, 2017, 10:17:11 PM Hi,
I wanted to get in to mining and was wondering if my MB Asrock Z68 Extreme 3 gen 3 is compatible with 6x GPU? http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z68%20Extreme3%20Gen3/index.asp I have 2500K and 850W power supply. Maybe I can use 6x GTX 1060 with it if MB is compatible. Will only have to buy GPUs to start mining if everything else is good enough. thanks Title: Re: Asrock Z68 Extreme 3 gen 3 compatible with 6 or 7 GPU?

Those other two are regular old PCI and wont work at all. Thanks for the answer, just looked up MB specs. "Slots - 2 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots (PCIE2/PCIE4: single at x16 (PCIE2) / x8 (PCIE4), or dual at x8 (PCIE2) / x8 (PCIE4)) - 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots - 2 x PCI slots - Supports AMD Quad CrossFireX™ and CrossFireX™ - Supports NVIDIA® Quad SLI™ and SLI™ *PCIe Gen3 is supported on 3rd Generation of Intel® Core™ i5 and Core™ i7 CPUs." So 2x PCI 2.0 and 2x PCI 3.0 will work but not old 2x PCI slots? Maybe I can start with 4x AMD quad or Nvidia Quad SLI. Also I have 2500K and it says to use PCI express 3.0 I need 3rd gen intel processor. Is PCI 2.0 good enough? |
