Great 6 GPU Mobo with caveat

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021

It does indeed utilize 6 GPUs as some others have stated. You do need to disable things like HD audio, and enable 4g encoding. (I did not need to update my bios to do this.) It also does appear to be that the GPUs DO need to be the exact same make/model/etc. In fact, yesterday I bios modded my cards, and now it only sees 4 and will not even post with more than 4 installed. Each card works great solo.

I will be testing today once home from work if I flash them all with the exact same bios if the mobo will then boot with all 6. Up until this point though, the motherboard has worked great out of the box, looks good, and has been exceptionally adequate for my needs. Especially for the price at which I purchased it.

UPDATE: I actually added in 2 other cards via a PCI-e 4 way splitter so now I am running 8 gpus on this board. In addition to this, 2 of them are different models from the other 6. I am running 6 rx 580 4 gb, 1 rx 480 4 gb, and 1 rx 570 4gb. They do NOT have to all be the same card.

Dead on arrival, terrible warranty company

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

DEAD ON ARRIVAL- I bought this board for backup, and didn,t use for almost two year. Went to put together and would not boot, so I troubleshooted out and figured out the cpu socket and sent back to manufacture for warranty. Warranty Not Covered they said. Cost me shipping also $26 for nothing. plus they wanted to charge me $120 to fix it ,I did not. The picture is what they sent back saying I did,
,I did not bend the pin.

Miner Motherboard

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

Wanted to provide a recent review for those who are considering this Motherboard for mining. I can confirm that mix manufactured cards (Nvidia and AMD) in the same rig will not work. Otherwise Same card models will. I have 6 x AMD 6700XT running Pretty close to 47/MHs. Still messing with settings. I am running my mining setup on Windows w/Team Red miner. Like previous review, Update BIOS to latest version (3004). In bios, just reset everything to default after update (F5). Use F9 for search, type 4G -> Enable both. Change all PCIE speeds to GEN2, Disable Audio, Serial and SATA ports not in use (I am using #1). Lastly, make sure CPU is being used as default graphics display, not auto and disable fastboot. You May need to do a TdrDelay Mod of 8 to 10 in windows with 5 Video Cards Plugged in. My Tdr setting is 8. PCIx1_1 should be the last slot for your last video card. 5 Video Cards works with no prob, once you add TdrDelay w/bios settings, Windows Boot might take 30sec-45 with that 6th card, so just wait for the display to turn on. The video driver didn't fail. 46.6-47.5 MHs is norm for 6700xt on this build. Hope this helps any future folks. Can't comment on HiveOS, I just avoid it, so can't speak to 6 cards with Linux, only windows.

Great motherboard

Got this board used - like new, and it looked brand new. No problems installing

The board itself is very good. Room for 4 RAM sticks, 2 M.2s, and 2 GPUs. Can’t really ask for more

Attention Miners - How to enable 6gpu support

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

Good Motherboard for 6 gpu mining rig. It will accept 6 but you have to do certain things to pull it off. 1) before you connect any riser or peripheral (just ram/cpu/disk connected), hook it up to monitor (hdmi) and update the bios. 2) after you update the bios to latest, enable "Above 4g decoding" in the advanced section (it's under "system agent (SA) configuration" of the bios (please note if you do this first, then update your bios, it will fall back to 4g encoding = disabled after the bios update). Once you get those options set, go ahead and load up your OS (Windows10) and set it all up. Then you can connect your riser cards to the motherboard, with one important detail, all 6 cards have to be identical (same manufacturer, model, etc). It will not work with mixed manufacturer cards or different models (using the 3/16/21 v2080 bios). As an example 2 gigabyte nvidia 2080's and 4 asus nvidia 3070's will not work, locks up and no video. However if you use 6 MSI AMD 5700 xt's, it will load like a champ (or 6 of any identical card). Another thing to point out, if you have trouble with AMD cards loading the amd adrenaline driver (blue screen's or fails to load it), you have to add a windows 10 registry key to lengthen the wait time for windows to find the card on the riser (google how to add TdrDelay to registry) that will solve the blue screen's. Good luck! and yes I spent about 2 days of trial and error to figure all this out. :) I have 4 (6gpu) mining rigs using this mainboard so it is possible.

Great mobo

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022

It’s a great motherboard for gaming. It’s really like a motherboard meant for bitcoin minings but that just means it’s meant to run continuously. You can find cheaper from other sellers. I paid like $230 for it and other sellers on Amazon sell them for $150 free prime shipping too.

Edit… it died after 2 weeks.

Had to replace first board, faulty, second board running great so far

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021

If you get a black screen upon first boot be sure to remove cmos battery for a while 10+ minutes to reset everything. It should then be able to boot into bios. I knew my first board was faulty though because my cpu fan wouldn't even spin, replacement came in quick within 1 day. Enjoy, it's a good board for the price, you can't blame the manufacturer for wear that could happen through shipping, especially with delicate components.

When it came in, it was missing a screw for an M.2 drive, but we had the other to work with. Works very well.

Good basic mobo for btc mining but does not include hardware based security needed.

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

Works great for mining and gaming. Only 4 sata porta though on the mobo as sata cable have no splitter technology for them yet to run more than just 4 hdds on with this board forcing people to invest in more expensive 14tb and 20tb hdds from wd and seagate. No WiFi 6 or fi-wi wireless recharging for the mobo if you need that sort of thing for a ups backups system for a 20 minute battery in case of the power going out or for cutting the power cord inside the pc itself with pcie cables for ssds and gpus. Not a server socket cpu for Intel xeon parts or epyc from ama from asia yet for a budget mining mono. Ram sockets are major pain in install vs on the gigabyte designate z390. Port I/o is ok but not great as 10 gigabit ethernet connections is needed with hardware vpn chipsets for cryptocurrency mining mobos and yubikey usb-c /a not included for needed security and hardware based btc wallets to store your money on when not mining or to offload your accounts into to keep the system anatomy and privacy for offline solo mining with this mono as the software has no mining gui apps to use offline to transfer to a cryptocurrency usb yubikey wallet to mine btc offline with.
