10 cards? You might need a server board, never build a miner though, so i can't recommend any.

Or you could (if you want) use two or three normal boards.

Realistically, you'll need AT LEAST 2 motherboards - you'll pay a LOT less splitting it into 2 rigs than trying to put all of those cards on one rig.
You're going to NEED 2 power supplies as well to handle THAT many 280x.

Hi,

You may consider buying this set x2 :

- MOBO : H81 Pro BTC (handles 6 GPUs)
- CPU : Intel G1840
- RAM : any 8g stick
- cheapest SSD you can find with 32g
- 1 lepa 1600W that can handle 4 gpu and another 700-800W for the 2 left

Buy 2 more R9 and you should get 2 6xGPU rigs for yourself, great start indeed

tis is pretty solid advice. however the H81 is tough to find. the H97 anniversary is equally good and available everywhere for ~$100.
the ssd is good, but you could use an HDD as well if you have one around or can find a small one for cheaper than the ssd
1600W power supplies are often very expensive. you might get a better price with 2x 1200W   OR IF MINING ETHEREUM YOU ONLY NEED ~120w/280x and a single 1000W PSU could suffice because it has lower power draw from the cards

don't buy a lepa 1600 watt psu it is multi rail and needs to be setup correctly or it will have issues.


get a evga 1300 g2  psu

should be enough juice for you if you mine ETH  with a small downclock.

it is single rail  has 6 pcie cables
