Title: What motherboard are good for 7 or 8 gpu? Post by: calvinwch on January 27, 2018, 11:07:08 PM any board can straight up with 7-8 with out pcie expansion card?
I had so much problem running the expansion card 1 to 4, freeze crash etc.... any board with 6 or 7 slot + m.2 are great, with out any other hardware install, currently i have the msi z270 gaming plus board. it is only take up to 4 slot out of 6 unable to use other 2 slot due to it is share with other 2 slots.

Title: Re: What motherboard are good for 7 or 8 gpu? Post by: car1999 on January 28, 2018, 12:37:05 AM I have asus z270-a running 9 cards, no problem.
But I don't suggest 9 cards, 6 cards is best. Title: Re: What motherboard are good for 7 or 8 gpu? Post by: calvinwch on January 28, 2018, 01:05:04 AM I have asus z270-a running 9 cards, no problem. But I don't suggest 9 cards, 6 cards is best. no pcie extension card need right? thanks, i'll looking into this board Title: Re: What motherboard are good for 7 or 8 gpu? Post by: Onbusy on January 28, 2018, 01:05:49 AM I have the Asus Prime Z270-P and have 6 cards running currently. I have the ability to add 2 more cards through the M.2 slots but haven't done so yet. The Prime Z270-A has one more slot, so can reach a total of 9 cards with the M.2 slots, so it's a little better but harder to find/more expensive.
I believe they are both relatively easy to set up and get running with multiple GPUs, not plug and play, but adjusting some bios settings and it's not too bad.

Post by: androstan1234 on January 28, 2018, 01:55:28 AM Biostar TB 250 BTC+ is my recommendation.
I have it and the old TB 85. Very resilient, been very happy with biostar. Title: Re: What motherboard are good for 7 or 8 gpu?

I have an 8 GPU board - ASUS Z270-AR. Very easy and worked first go. I have a 7 GPU board - ASUS Z270-P. I wasted 6-8 hrs trying to get the 8th GPU working (on the second m.2 slot) and in the end - gave up. Title: Re: What motherboard are good for 7 or 8 gpu? Post by: Viecoin on January 28, 2018, 04:38:04 AM I believe the general consensus is 8 cards with Asus z270-p and 9 cards with the z270-a. I recommend using linux distros for more than 8 cards. There are btc specific b250,b350, h81 and h110 mobos, but the prices are heavily inflated if they are not sold out.

Agree as it appears Windows has a limitation of 8 GPU's. Title: Re: What motherboard are good for 7 or 8 gpu?

But the windows it self are running kinda slow when shut down and restart, and also adding another card to the system. it take pretty long time to do small setup.
