instead of 3 sata and 3 molex mine has (6) 6pin connectors. also hooked up the 24pin mobo cable and the cpu. I will send pics later when I get home
I don't understand what is 6pin connectors do. They are used instead 8pin GPU's connectors? I would like to make my first rig and collect all information for it in the internet. I would like to use this motherboard, but ver2 with 8 pcie, 8 gtx 1080 ti and psu. And I don't understand which kind of connectors I need. An ordinary board needs one 24pin, one 4+4pin and nothing anything. But this one has above plus 6 6pin.

My older ver with 6 PCIe is going to be here next week. Will update with AMD GPU results.
Thank you Phil for sharing, highly appreciated.

I'm sorry for my English. Phil, can you show photos of your rig with GPUs and wires? I don't understand what 6 power sockets do in this board and how to supply the board by psu without 24pin socket. Thank you.
Same thing for me, I have 6 PCI-E connectors instead of molex and sata connections. Also, they state ddr3 memory but looking at Voskoin video, seems he used DDR4. Stange as DDR3 and 4 don't have the same key for installation... Any advice?

Any feedback on the board so far?

Fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. Just HODL.

I purchased a new ONDA B250 D8P Ver 1.00 (the 12 slot board) and got it up and running easily. It ran with 6GPUs for just over two full days and then tonight it seems to have just died while it was working. It won't boot or post and never even wakes up the display now. I reseated memory and pulled the battery and put it back. Also tried a new USB stick that boots in another board fine. No lights ever light on the ethernet port. No dice.
Any tips on troubleshooting this board?

Windows ? Or smos? I run smOS. Try only 1 card. And if you use smos make a new usb from the start Also try a new high quality cat 6 or cable Lastly tap the top of the Ethernet jack with your finger nail like a woodpecker taps with its beak like 35 times

Even the woodpecker tapping didn’t work 😃Any other ideas? I am using ethOS.

Hi,
received 2 samples this morning from China, but no docs and no drivers nothing, can't find anything online either, i'm trying to get it to run under WIN-7. So far I have got the LAN to work, but thats it, limited USB, and I can't seem to ID the other hardware, also which of the pins on the fp1 is the start, and the others??
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'd use Windows 10, you are setting yourself up for a life of pain

...I hear you, I'm mostly done under Win 7.1 , what I did was once the MOBO was on the LAN, i used Remote Desktop to "run" the updates in a sudo headless mode, also able to copy/past drivers from host PC... 1st 1080 running up while updating the OS, so far so good!

Mining in windows in general is asking for trouble. Almost as much as buying random weirdo untested chinese motherboards when there are a ton of compatible boards out thre in the wild already. Is there any reason you guys are going for this janky looking junk instead of buying a known working board? if you say its because of cost, count the downtime you are having trying to get that junk working and see if you really saved much

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

But let's not start a holy war there All my motherboards so far are known brand ones. I have already be beaten up by issues with raisers though, and I want to try a build for 8 GPUs with no raisers. In a previous life I put together many PCs with Chinese generic motherboards and although sometimes they cause trouble, my experience wasn't that bad. As I do this as a hobby, I like testing different setups and experimenting.

Are there any trustworthy sources for that mainboard that have a lower min. order quantity? I never ordered at alibaba, can you negotiate with the sellers about quantity?

Another alternative is the Octominer B8PLUS board that has 8 full size PCIe slots and an integrated Intel Mobile 3855u CPU. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2754227.0

Just got one too, weirdly seems to boot happily with nothing connected to fp1, just on psu (weird bios setting?) - Most importantly - can anyone help with the start pins question? EDIT: Weird boot aside, this setup seems to work for the fp1 pins: https://dynamize.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/step-8-connecting-front-panel-header.html
