Hello guys!
I am searching for mobo with 6 or 7 gpu support. Asrock h81 pro btc Biostar tb85 and Msi Gaming 5 currently unavailible to buy in my country,
Does anyone have any experience with this mobo - 6 or 7 gpu's working fine? Or maybe any other mobo with skylake 2** series chipsets?


this mobo does 5 cards

zero issues with 5 cards.  I would assume it could do six  but I did have issues with six.

Getting a 160-180$ Gaming board to use for mining is kinda overkill. A better alternative even tho it would consume a bit more power would be to get 2 of these

with a psu 24 pin spliter cable from ebay and the cheapest cpu/ram you can get...

This way is safer since if one mobo fails you still got the other one.
