Thanks for your work.
Would the ASUS Z270-F GAMING image work for Asus - PRIME Z270-A?

I haven't received them yet, can test next week.

I got an Asus - PRIME Z270-A yesterday, but I haven't had time to test it yet.  I will test it tonight and let you know.

Or is it possible to have a walkthrough on how to build an image?

In most cases you can use the newest image I have made with any mobo (whichever is listed last in the OP); and then follow these steps to edit the xorg.conf file:

so press f12 to open the guake terminal

If cpuminer-opt is running rightclick over the guake terminal and select new tab or press ctrl + c to stop it.

then enter:

lspci | grep VGA

this will list your gpus and their pcie addresses

then enter:

gksu gedit '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

and enter the password:

miner1

when prompted

gedit should now be open with root access to the xorg.conf file

Find the Device section and alter the

BusID          "PCI:1:0:0"

on each Device to match the addressing from lspci (only change the numbers)

save

close all mining processes if open

logout

login, and all cards (up to 6x) should now OC if you did this correctly.

I will automate this process in a later version by checking then conditionally performing this task.
