GPU mining motherboards for 2017

[Jdope]

Hallo guys, sorry my newbie i want to ask, i have a plan for mining ethereum using gpu (rx480), i ask how many gpu do i need to get 0.5 eth in one day? thank you.

At the current rate you'd need 530 mhs to get that, so about 18-21 GPUs depending on the hashrate you get, the difficulty is increasing though!

I'm using an ASRock Z97 Extreme4 with 6 pcie lanes because I had it lying around and I don't seem to be having any problems with it. It has an M.2 port also so it might be able to do 7 but i'm not sure, I never tried it.

Are you running EthOS or Windows?

anyone had any experience with these h270 artic motherboards? i have 3 units, all 3 will only see 4 cards inside windows and ethos, am i missing something in setting these boards up correctly?

This question is already answered here. Feel free to ask any other question.
Suggestion- you can also purchase ASIC miner to increase your profit.

thank mate, had a flick through that thread and youtube videos,
none relate directly to the h270,
the z270 boards work fine

i have enabled the 4d decoding, played with the peg settings etc
i am guessing there is a trick or mod somewhere that needs to be done on the h270 artic board to get these other 2 cards lighting up

cheers

What cards/os/system are you running ? I have the exact same motherboard and it refuses to work with more than 4 gpus.

Best Boards of 2017 IMO are:

H270-P and Z270-P by ASUS

and Biostar TB250 and TB350.

TB350 being based on AM4, goes well with AM4 X4 950
TB250 being intel, goes well with G3900 (since its cheaper than the kaby lake counter and you can run win 7 or 8 on the skylake G3900)

I have 4 rigs with Z270-P and it never caused any problems.
It is also well-documented and there are lot of guides how-to at Youtube

Have somebody problem with MSI Z170A Krait Gaming 3x. Work only 3 cards of 6.

The Z170 boards are not too good for mining.. max 4 cards.. they have memory lane limitations.

bs. Using Z170a SLI pro and 6 out 6 cards working.

My choice forever Gigabyte 970 ds3p with am3+ socket, cheap, easy to find CPU(aliexpress 5$ athlon II) cheaper DDR3 ram and works fine with 5GPU. My rings use that motherboard, uptime few weeks. Recommend.

For mining suitable even older motherboard. I built my first rig two AM 3 motherboards. Each allows you to connect 4 GPU. All the equipment cost me $ 100. Additionally bought a power supply for 8 GPU + GPU. Only one H81 worth as much as how much I spent on all the equipment. To connect to it only 6 of the GPU.

atm there is MSI z170 with 7 gpu and also 8 gpu with (m2 to pcie), but i read need bios custum mod not official release to run 8.
and asus z270 A with 7 gpu and also 8 gpu with (m2 to pcie) i don't know if need some mod to enable it, but i dind't read anything about it, maybe not require update.

Got 2 Asus prime Z270 A running for weeks, no probs, no need for custom bios, just usual settings, 4G decode and pcie gen 2 if I remember exactly. Using them with 8 gpu each, 7 pcie + 1 M2.
No errors, no hassle

i am looking for minable motherboards with remotely manageable features outside the O/S, like servers. Does anyone try it yet?

Not yet, but am very interesting.

About topic, Im using now Asus Mining Eypert MB. It cost me like 180 USD in EU and working great. Its for 19 PCIe slots and absolutely loving graphical interface after boot, which showing which card is good/bad and also BIOS. Im using Ubuntu on it.
