Hi

Please post which motherboard is problem free, I mean which motherboard will power up 6 cards without any problem or any mining issue and Please also post your experience with any motherboard which you are using.

I have not used any of the motherboards you`ve listed but, I have a biostar tb85 and msi z270a pro carbon. The biostar tb85 is easier to set up and is more stable than the msi z270a pro carbon. However the biostar tb85 has 6 pcie slots while the msi z270a pro carbon has 7 pcie slots, but you can use dual gpus such as amd 295x2 or an expansion card to install more than 6 gpus on the biostar tb85.

Is the 270 chipset the overall best for ethereum and 6 (to possibly 8 ) cards.

Yeah, get a Z270 board, but make sure it's compatible with 6-8 cards.

I believe they are similar, go for the z270 GAMING M5 there is a guide on bitcointalk.org on building a 7 gpu rig on it - . In case you encounter any problems when building the rig you can refer to the link and there`ll be many people on this forum willing to help you. Also don`t purchase a intel kabylake cpu, purchase an intel celeron g3900 skylake cpu or higher.

Thanks but what about
Maximus viii hero
Asus tuf z270 mark2

Are they both will make problems running 6 Gpus and I read for MSi z270 to Run 6 Gpus will need to Custom Mod Bios.

My recommendations are as follows:
The highly efficient Nvidia GTX 1070 motherboard can produce 32 Mh / s using only 140 watts of electricity (more efficient) 4GB DDR4 1600Mhz RAM, 1D Hard Drive SSD

GTX1070 is not a motherboard...  Huh
