Hey guys
would "MSI z170a gaming pro carbon" + "Intel Celeron G3900" work with 6 x GTX 1080Ti ?
I noticed some people are putting quiet "beefy" CPUs into their rigs, can someone explain why? Does it have something to do with PCIE support?
Also @fullzero, thanks for all the work you put into this!
I haven't tested that mobo; I would expect a bios flash and a few bios setting changes would be needed. I recommend getting one of the z270 chipset mobo's I have tested: see the OP.
IMO spending ~$20 more on a G4560 to "know" I will not have any CPU related problems is worth it. Also if you plan on mining longterm, slightly better XMR hashrates with around the same power draw will pay for the difference, and then the entire CPU cost eventually.
