Title: Help Can I mine on this motherboard?
Post by: Victor713 on September 18, 2021, 03:36:35 AM
Hello everyone, I have been able to buy 2 rtx 3070ti at a very good price here in Peru $ 1050, they will arrive in a week, and I want to see where I am going to place them, I am new to this, and I am researching a lot for a couple of months, I plan to mine in hiveos.
Could you use this motherboard with a processor for mining? It already has 4gb ram ddr2, I already updated the BIOS, in a few months I will update the processor and motherboard to be able to add a couple more cards.

What configuration would I have to do to the BIOS so that it can connect the 2 rtx with risers?

Hi Victor,

You have posted on wrong subforum. You might want to ask @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0 (Mining Altcoins) instead.

It seems that the motherboard has 2 PCI-E slots, 1 x16 slot, and the other is x1 slot. You should be able to run the motherboard for your 2 GPUs and of course, what you need is a good PSU with sufficient power capacity. If you prefer GPU mining then you don't really need a high-spec CPU, and it would be better if you use a good Flash drive (considering that you plan to use hiveos).

For bios settings, you need to set PCIe Link Speed, Disable CSM Support, and usually need to enable Above 4G Decoding.

This is an ancient motherboard, there are no such settings in this BIOS. Above 4G Decoding ;D


I used similar motherboards for mining because I kept them after repairing or upgrading old personal computers.
For mining you need 2 PCI-E x1 slots, but I don't know how this motherboard will work with new video cards.
I used the PX470 on similar motherboards.
First connect 1 video card, if everything is ok, then the second one.
These motherboards are old and unreliable, they broke in less than 1 year.
