Anyone have any experience whith this mobo ? Any tips or advice very welcome.
I think it is one of the newer series of this line and has 12 full size GPU slots, so no risers ... phew !!
I want to use it with a G4930 Celeron 3.2 Ghz CPU LGA1151, 8GB ram and a 64GB SSD for mining Eth with Ethos.
ATX PSU 2400W
total cost excluding GPUS is 440 USD, or 555 with a metal casing.
I am thinking of getting 20 units of the above without the case, as it adds weight and volume to shipping. I can make some wooden rigs like I have previously and they work just fine.
I have lots of 1060, 1070 and RX580 cards, and as I said before, have been mining wth wooden, home made rigs using MSI boards and risers since 2018, but I keep getting crashes of increasing frequency and the risers and their quality is driving me crazy with a lot of fiddle factor... so I have decided to invest a bit of my mining eanings into a, hopefully, simpler setup with full length PCIE slots and newer hardware. I though about newer GPUS but the cost is a lot, and my old ones seem fine for now. I dont want to invest that much.
I am also hoping to mine on solar power a bit to reduce my energy costs during the day, and the environmental footprint, and use the waste heat to power a commercial dessicator to dry fruit and veg.
any thoughts welcome.
and there is already included celeron cpu soldered to the board and using sodim ram memory, with full-fledge pcie express and this for server case and recomend using blower type gpu, is quite expensive compared other dedicated pcie 1x slot with riser, and most of these board from chinese
