GPU mining motherboards for 2017

[RIGED]

any news on getting the ASUS B250mining expert running more than 8 VEGA 64's at stable peak performance ie 43.7MH/s?(which is what i achieved on all 8  45.5 also possible)

i know ASUS has promised a driver update to do so 4th qrt 2017

when i add a 9th VEGA, 2 cards run at almost half speed (buss conflict), is there any solution aside from the awaited driver update?

thnx

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.

wow never seen it, does it out-of-band? Based on your answer it looks like it is not. There are some individual modules on ebay for this through IPMI but nothing clear yet. Without it, you are at the mercy of BIOS during reboot when remove accessing it.

Driver update is live, use 17.04 or 17.11. Latest 2 of them works. You just need to select in AMD settings Gaming/Global settings/Compute, instead of Graphics on each of the AMD cards. I already use 12-13 AMD's on Win 10

How's the biostar tb250 btc pro?

I've been using the old tb85 and very stable, no problem, so considering staying with biostar.

Can't speak to the Pro, but I had to RMA the 6-slot version; constant PCIe Bus errors reported by Windows (first/only time I've ever seen that). Hopefully the replacement will fare better, but I also heard similar horror stories when asking about it elsewhere.

hi guys, I have used he z270 sli from MSI and as long as I put 2 gpu directly into x16 slot it mines OK, however as soon as I use the pcie extender, miner reports error. Did anyone have this problem?

Currently I have a mix of directly 2x plugged in GPU and  1x plugged through extender. The miner will report error on the 3rd connected through extender and mines only with 2 gpu-s connected direclty to x16 slot.

I used mintcell extender.

Did anyone encountered this problem and solved on their own?
Thanks!

 Probably won't happen, due to driver limits, unless AMD updates their "blockchain" driver to support more than 8 cards under Win 10 - or IF they ever get around to releasing a WORKING driver for Vega under LINUX.

 Also, Vega is a lot better off on Monero than on ETH - it's BEAT badly on a hash/$ basis by the RX 470/480/570/580 cards at recent pricing, even if you CAN find a Vega somewhere at something close to MSRP.

 28+ Mhash for UNDER $250 (and sometimes getting down close to $200) > 45 Mhash for $450 at MSRP and WAY MORE at current pricing when you can find a Vega at all.

Do you guys read previous posts??

AMD drivers are updated since 17.11.1 release. I currently run 17.11.4 with 12 AMD GPU on Biostar TB250-BTC Pro using Windows 10. You just need to select in AMD settings Gaming/Global settings/GPU workload/Compute, instead of Graphics on each of the AMD cards

Very good until now, stable and easy to setup. Also good placement of pci-e slots, comparing to Asrock H110.

[Sledge0001]

The Asrock h110 + is working out perfectly for me...

Whats the trick getting the "ASUS B250 Mining Expert" working with 19 GPU ?

I get half the cards in and it will not boot, all PCI cables have dedicated Power plus capacitors and kept as short as I can get them
each GPU has a  dedicated TT 480watt 12v GPU PSU

CPU lane limitation?

 But the miners are still looking specifically for the blockchain driver version to support HIGH hash rates on VEGA.

 Perhaps when Cast and Stack-XMR get updated to no longer look for that specific version to get large page support....
