I've decided to abandon my older Gigabyte (could only get 4 gpu's to work) and get a new mobo.  I've seen mixed reviews about the 13 pcie Asrock, but I wanted to hear from the experts...  Please give me 2 recommendations so I can look at prices as well.  Thanks!  This is a great resource!

The 13 slot H110 board is a good mining board but running that many GPUs on a system just means that one failure point takes out all of your hash power. I personally recommend 6 card rigs.

For a good 6 card rig my current favorite is the Asrock B250 Gaming K4. I run hundreds of these and they work great. I also have had very good luck with the Asus H270-A but that is a more expensive board than the others so I wouldnt recommend it over the Asrocks.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

I also agree, running 13 card rig might cause you problems when troubleshooting and down time.
I too only run 6 card rigs in my small facility. Where im located, the biostar tb250 pro btc boards is cheap for me. Also been very easy to set up and never caused me any issues.

Thanks for the recommends!  Any chance the Biostar is a rebranded Asrock or are they completely different?  Thanks again!  Looks like you can get the Biostar up to 8 gpu's for about $144.
