I see the PRIME Z270-A as 7 pci-e slots Where as the Z270-p only 6 iv looked on Asus And compared the two the Z270-A seems to offer more then the Z270-P Don’t no if it’s need but I can get both at the same price so what would be best I think Z270-A but would like bit of confirmation from some one that no more then me Or can any one recommend any other Asus mb Don’t won’t the Asus mining mb as it to costly and not looking to run more the eight cards Thanks for any info Title: Re: ASUS PRIME Z270-A OR ASUS PRIME Z270-P Post by: aimsml on December 19, 2017, 03:32:48 PM Only Z270-P, use m2 slots for PCI-e. Z270-A not enough bus width to connect 8 cards

I do not care to sort it out themselves. Title: Re: ASUS PRIME Z270-A OR ASUS PRIME Z270-P Post by: Vann on December 19, 2017, 05:15:23 PM The Asus Z270-A has 7 PCI-E slots and the Z270-P has 6. BBT has put more rigs together than most on this forum and the Asus Z270-A/AR was his go to board for many of his builds this year. He is now switching to the new Z370-A to replace it.

They are very good motherboards for mining. However some boards I was able to mine with 8 GPU some 7 only, maybe because of some settings.
At the same time I heard from my friends that Z270-A 's very problematic MB/ Title: Re: ASUS PRIME Z270-A OR ASUS PRIME Z270-P Post by: gt_addict on December 19, 2017, 05:26:08 PM Hi what would’ you go with out the two mb I see the PRIME Z270-A as 7 pci-e slots Where as the Z270-p only 6 iv looked on Asus And compared the two the Z270-A seems to offer more then the Z270-P Don’t no if it’s need but I can get both at the same price so what would be best I think Z270-A but would like bit of confirmation from some one that no more then me Or can any one recommend any other Asus mb Don’t won’t the Asus mining mb as it to costly and not looking to run more the eight cards Thanks for any info You can connect 11 gpu's with Z270A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPGxVUaSdvc&index=4&list=PLt2f8uUd9prYmUfVTuXGjfOihJZtaerBM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPGxVUaSdvc&index=4&list=PLt2f8uUd9prYmUfVTuXGjfOihJZtaerBM) Warning!!!! The video sucks!!! m2 slots do not apply additional power!!!! You need to watch the video again. The m.2 to pcie adaptor has its own power from the 4pin floppy plug to sata (in this case).

Take a look at their store will give you ideas on what you can use. https://www.bitsbetrippin.io/collections/risers (https://www.bitsbetrippin.io/collections/risers) Here's another video to show that the Z270A works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvwDC1zi9x0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvwDC1zi9x0) Title: Re: ASUS PRIME Z270-A OR ASUS PRIME Z270-P Post by: aimsml on December 20, 2017, 07:57:29 AM Hi what would’ you go with out the two mb I see the PRIME Z270-A as 7 pci-e slots Where as the Z270-p only 6 iv looked on Asus And compared the two the Z270-A seems to offer more then the Z270-P Don’t no if it’s need but I can get both at the same price so what would be best I think Z270-A but would like bit of confirmation from some one that no more then me Or can any one recommend any other Asus mb Don’t won’t the Asus mining mb as it to costly and not looking to run more the eight cards Thanks for any info You can connect 11 gpu's with Z270A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPGxVUaSdvc&index=4&list=PLt2f8uUd9prYmUfVTuXGjfOihJZtaerBM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPGxVUaSdvc&index=4&list=PLt2f8uUd9prYmUfVTuXGjfOihJZtaerBM) Once again on the slot m2 do not hang additional power supply http://www.picshare.ru/uploads/171220/a5fca4aOC5_thumb.jpg (http://www.picshare.ru/view/8395929/) Warning!!!!

It is not necessary to invent a Bicycle, it already is. You can put a hub, but why would You add for MB more power. Installation is not cost effective
Title: Re: ASUS PRIME Z270-A OR ASUS PRIME Z270-P Post by: SuperiorCoin on February 28, 2018, 03:17:12 AM I saw you posting about Superior Coin. You do know that it is stolen right? And that you are being paid to post here on Bitcoin Talk from the illegal Kryptonia site with stolen money?
Title: Re: ASUS PRIME Z270-A OR ASUS PRIME Z270-P Post by: jillscarbrough on February 28, 2018, 04:56:59 AM almost same on the architecture, the different on PCIe Slots. Asus Prime Z270-A, default can be used 7x GPU and be equipped M.2 (can using for add GPU). Asus Prime Z270-P, default can be used 6x GPU same the equipped M.2.
Title: Re: ASUS PRIME Z270-A OR ASUS PRIME Z270-P Post by: Bimmber on February 28, 2018, 06:43:07 AM I`m using Z270-A (7 pci slots +two M.2). When you use m.2 to PCI adaptor, you don`t need any additional power to adaptor! GPU`s work without any problems. I had zero problems with this board.
