Title: Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ questions Post by: IDaveN on January 23, 2018, 04:49:19 PM Heyo!
So im fairly new to mining but im in the process of building a 12 gpu rig on the Asrock H110 Pro BTC+. However i've come across a ton of contradicting information so far. So theres 2 molex connectors on the board itself, i guess to provide juice to the pci-e ports and i've read some posts saying that i should not use powered risers because of this... I highly doubt thats the case, but thats why I'm here asking you guys. Apart from that, I'll be using 3 different PSU's to power my 12 Sapphire RX580 Pulse 8GB and the risers. Got those layin around aswell as just enough cables. My question regarding this is the following: Some people said I will need to connect all the risers to the main PSU which powers the mainboard itself, while others said it's important to have each riser powered by the same PSU that powers the GPU connected to it. Now I'm confused, since I've found multiple contradicting infos and I have no clue what to believe... Does it simply not matter or does anyone in here actually know? btw my PSUs are: EVGA 1600W G2, 2x EVGA 1000W P2 and the risers are: 5x Molex powered and 10x 6pin powered Hope you guys can help me out! Cheers! Title: Re: Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ questions Post by: BTC22 on January 23, 2018, 04:55:10 PM Heyo!

Cheers! I use risers on this board and run two PSU's. I have the riser and GPU connected to the same PSU for each.

I have the riser and GPU connected to the same PSU for each. meaning you have risers connected to a PSU which does not power the mainboard, but each riser connected to either PSU edit: im havin trouble phrasing this sentence apparently, lol All im trying to say is: a pack of riser + GPU in its slot, are both powered by the same PSU, meaning you dont have all risers connected to the PSU which powers the board Title: Re: Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ questions Post by: smc_masters on January 23, 2018, 05:34:17 PM I have this board running 8 AMD cards. Setting it up was a huge pain in the ass. Im using 2 PSU's and sata powered risers. Each riser is connected to the same PSU as the card but my problems weren't because of the risers. From what i managed to understand setting up my rig is that this board doesn't do well with AMD cards.
