this mobo does 5 cards

zero issues with 5 cards.  I would assume it could do six  but I did have issues with six.

Getting a 160-180$ Gaming board to use for mining is kinda overkill. A better alternative even tho it would consume a bit more power would be to get 2 of these

with a psu 24 pin spliter cable from ebay and the cheapest cpu/ram you can get...

This way is safer since if one mobo fails you still got the other one.

I am a newegg reviewer my cost was zero. If you read the link you can read my review.

Buying this board in bulk to mine is not what I would do.  Given the board to review I maxed at 5 cards.

So people would know if the z270 chipset goes past four cards.

im looking for a new 6 card + board

Anyone tried Asus STRIX Z270E yet? I want a good motherboard for personal use, which is also capable of running 4-5 GPUs for mining.

[Cereberus]

The Z270 chipset is the best for multi GPU- mining so far. It is absolutely the best motherboard to house 6 GPU-s without problems at all. I prefer MSI motherboards always as they are my favorite brand but if it's not possible to buy at your country, Gigabyte motherboards are next in list.

[Bones972]

Anyone have any insight on processors and what effect they have on multiple GPU rigs?  I have 2 rigs I am working on right now and can not seem to get above 4 cards on either rig.

Asrock H170A-x1  with Intel Pentium Skylake G4400 3.3GHz and 4 GB ram Win 10.

I had planned to run 5x RX 470 on the Asrock with 5 slots and build an Nvidia rig on the Asus platform.
right now I have 4x RX 470 on the Asrock and 3x GTX 1060 and 1x RX 470 on the Asus.

Any suggestions or input would be GREAT!!
Thanks Guys

On nicehash blog I saw an article about Asus Prime Z270-A here https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=news&id=155

Seems that it can handle up to 8 gpu without any mods

[deadsix]

Im using several Asus Z270f boards with 7 cards each, without a hiccup. Just turn on above 4G decoding, put all pcie to gen1 and disable everything you arent using.

[Brucelats]

Guys, can anyone leade me plz what configs and how to setup/update my.bios on my asus z270p mobo. When i add fifth gpu it wont boot, bios wont boot also. Its jus blank screen. If i change some options. I get it to boot but  system doesnt see 5th gpu.

[Vaccinus]

asrock will release the new h110 pro btc which can handle 14 gpu, and you are done for two rig, if in the future you want to expand, very good deal for me, only a bit expensive for now around $200

[spyshagg]

Asus Prime Z270-A does >8 GPUS. I have one.

PCI GEN to 2  and 4G decoding enabled.

Im using several Asus Z270f boards with 7 cards each, without a hiccup. Just turn on above 4G decoding, put all pcie to gen1 and disable everything you arent using.

I have the same board and 1060 cards, but for the life of me I cannot get past 4 cards.  4G is enabled, also tried PCI speeds of Gen 2,  nothing.  4 is the max.  Any suggestions or pointers?

I am using the same board with 1080ti but I'm having problems with the 7th graphic card.. It detects 6 but not the 7 for some reason (tried with gen 1 pci-e but no change). Any advice?
