Hey, I've got this motherboard and was wondering if it's fine for 6 x 1070ti GPU mining rig? There's only 3 slots that I can use with risers to bring GPUs up like everybody does and then 3 cards should be put on the motherboard? Just wondering if it's fine or I should buy motherboard like everybody else uses.

It's got:
2 x PCIe 3.0 x 16 SafeSlots (Support x16, x8/x8)
1 x PCIe 3.0 x 16(at x2 mode)
3 x PCIe 3.0 x 1

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Is it hard to read this at the top of this section?

No posts about GPUs or altcoin mining here, use the correct sub-forums

Probably, but i'd go for cheaper/mining boards, like the TB85 for like 60$ on LGA 1150. They're a strait upgrade from H81 etc pro btc boards.

You shouldnt plug gpus directly into the motherboard, go 100% usb risers.

1 x PCIe 3.0 x 16(at x2 mode)
3 x PCIe 3.0 x 1
First of all, a graphics card in the second pci-e x16 slot will block one of the pci-e. Another issue is that this card won't have enough air supply if you have another card in the third pci-e x16. So I wouldn't try leaving more than two gpus in the motherboard (using the top and the bottom pci-e x16 only), the rest - with risers.

Hello im sure you can run on this motherboard up to 8 GPUs, but you gonna need x2 M2 to PCIE

And again you can get cheaper motherboard, I would suggest you to get Gigabyte H110 Mining or Z270 K3 Gaming
