Question regarding ETH rig motherboard

[se7snator]

Hi there buddies! 

I'm still a noob in this matter, so please bear with me. 

I plan to setup my ETH rig with 3 x RX 480 - 4GB .. But the ASROCK H61 BTC is not available in my country, neither any similar motherboard.. And my only option widely available is Gigabyte GA-P81-D3 Socket 1150, It has 1 x PCI Express x16 & 1 x PCI Express x1 == 3 Slots total (Which I only need).

I've done some researches. ppl saying that it doesn't support crossfire. .. So it will not boot up all the three GPUs? or I'm understanding this in a wrong way.


Thanks, and again. Please excuse my ignorance

Yes it will work with 3 GPUs, just get some USB risers.

Crossfire has nothing to do with mining, what you only need to take care of when you buy your mobo is the no.of slots x16 or x1 , for x1 slots you should get raisers , and i think as there isn't h81 pro btc in your country , you will not find x1 to x16 also , so better get a mobo with 3 x16 pcie.

In some countries shipping and customs make it more easy and cheap to get a mobo with x16 slots and don't buy the raisers from amazon or ebay
