Mining motherboards

[Jdope]

So i know this might have been discussed a few times but currently almost every place in the world is sold out of h81 pro btc, even the 2.0 version is sold out. So what motherboards are you guys using in new builds? I'm looking for motherboards that can take 5 GPUs, i think 6 is a bit of an overkill for most regular motherboards.

I am running a Gigabyte GA-Z97X on one rig and an Asrock Fatality 970 on the other.  Had the Gigabyte in my gaming rig to begin with but the Asrock was a fresh build and was reasonably priced with an AMD cpu.  I have been running 5 GPU's on each with no problems.

i bought asus z270a with 7 pcie and 2 m2 (you can use only one to get 8th gpu, and other you can use for ssd)

I currently have 6 GPUS, and am looking for a mobo that can support all 6. I have a KabyLake CPU and DDR4 ram. Does anyone have a good suggestion for that? And if so, what special settings and install do I have to do to make it all work. I keep seeing all these different posts about it all, and I can't figure out how to get 6 cards working on my mobo's. Currently I have a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS4FTP1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I can't get more than 4 cards to work at once. I have all RX470's, 4GB versions, does that make a difference?

What operating system are you running?  I had the same problem with only being able to run 4 cards on Win 7.  Changed to Win 10 and they all run great.  Probably not a hardware issue but a software issue...

Running Win10 home, also tried simplemining.nets Linux and the same thing, only reads a max of 4 cards.

Try Win10 pro

I've been running 5 Nitro+ RX 470s on this MB for about a month with no problems at all. I use an m2 for Windows 10 which is nice since it doesn't need sata data or power cables connected so a little less clutter.

Has anyone tried using the new AM4 chipset for mining, a B350 model in particular? With Ryzen CPUs being pretty decent miners that makes them an interesting option as prices come down... provided that the motherboards can actually handle 5-6 GPUs.

Try Win10 pro

tried pro now, with using GPT and UEFI, still max of 4 cards.
