6 GPU Ether Mining With Ryzen 7 1800x

[JoeyDaMan7]

Can't seem to find this in the forum. Planning to mine Ether and other alts but not sure if all of these parts will be right for or compatible with the Ryzen 7 1800x. There are plenty of instructions on how to build DDR3 6 GPU mining rigs and what parts to buy but not for DDR4.

The parts I might possibly get:
ASRock H81 Pro BTC
EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2
6X Saphirre Radeon Rx 480 8GB
Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB DDR4

My question is what motherboard would be the best for DDR4 (obviously not the ASRock because it's DDR3) and are these parts compatible with eachother? Has anyone tried this yet? (I'm sure someone on here has)

You need a motherboard that supports the Ryzen CPU and has 6 PCI-E slots. Then you need to figure out what RAM is supported by that motherboard.

Motherboards like Asrock AB350 Pro4 or MSI X370 SLI PLUS are valid examples.

The problem is these boards are still relatively new and expensive, so you won't find a lot of reviews from people who have used them for mining.

Nope - bigger issue.  According to Biostar re: B350 BTC MOBO -  official AMD driver for RX580 has a limit for 5 GPU, so if you are  going with Ryzen's you may need to rethink your GPU.

the biostar tB250 is ddr4 and the asus 270 a or p is also ddr4, just use the one for AMD, i don't remember if this is the A or the P version, but it think it's better to stick with intel for low end cpu, ryzen work better for top cpu configuration

if you use the method of downloading an earlier driver and over lap the newer driver, it has worked for me recognizing 6gpu's, i have used different drivers then mentioned here 17.5 but should work the same.

I was able to get 6 x RX-500 series running on windows 10 x64. After two days the stupidest thing I tried worked  .
1. use DDU to clean the PC from any previous drivers.
2. Disable 4G decoding so you can log into windows (only  for Z170,H170, etc.)
3. Extract older driver for RX 400 series in Drive C: (I use 16.9.2 )
4. Extract driver for RX 500 series in Drive C: (I use 17.4.3)
5. Copy and replace all content from "C:\AMD\Non-WHQL-Win10-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.9.2-Sep21\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\B307117"  to "C:\AMD\WHQL-Win7-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-17.4.3-Apr17\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\B313057" (Basically you copy the old driver over the new)
6. Install the VGA cards manually from Device manager in Windows pointing path to the new driver 17.4.3 in this case.
7. Reboot and enable 4G Decoding in Bios
8. Enjoy if it works for you.

Have you been able to find any RX 480s in stock? They're sold out just about everywhere and I doubt they are going to produce more now that the 500 series is out. Your best and safest bet for the motherboard if the new Biostar TB350 BTC since it's designed for 6 GPU mining... deepinthemines was taking pre-orders on them recently so check them out. Alternately you can buy them from Cryptomined, just with higher shipping costs since they come straight from Asia.

deepinthemines is over priced by alot. i bought tb250-btc from china for $95 usd each compared to 150-170 from deepinthemines. Junmax, just send him a msg on facebook and he has stock come in and out and probably will have or can get the amd ones as well. ive bought twice from him with fast shipping and he is quick, reliable.

Ryzen are seriously overpowered and rather overpriced for a mining rig.

 For AMD, a Sempron 145 (if you can still get one) is normally the best option.

 Big SSDs are also a waste on a pure mining rig.

[Elder III]

You can make $1300+ a year based on today's rates CPU mining with a Ryzen 1700/1800, I'd consider that worth the expense and then some.

 Or you can put that same money into another GPU and probably make quite a bit more - though Ryzen do seem to do well on XMR mining for a CPU.
