Title: Motherboard for beginner/experiment?
Post by: jose4cc on March 01, 2018, 12:25:37 AM
Hi,

As a experiment/learning experience I got a Gigabyte H110M-A motherboard (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110M-A-rev-10#ov) for running a "lab" with only 2 GPUs.

Should it work? ie: I guess as long as my PSU is big enough and I have the PCIe risers, any motherboard with PCIe connectors can be used.

Is that correct? thanks.

Yep, I have this board my 1st mining rig for a few months while waiting on my z97 motherboard to arrive. Run it smoothly with my Seasonic 850w PSU and RX480 reference 8GB cards.

The motherboard is good, has 2xPCIe x1 and 1xPCIex16 can use for 3 GPU. if you don't have another part such processor and RAM, you can use Celeron processor and 4GB for RAM is enough. when doing mining of a coin adjust with your series GPU.
