@ Citronick, What CPU would you recommend for that board? i3, i5?
ram? I'm thinking about getting one too.
Thanks for any info.

does look cool a 13 card board.

I have to think use  an i5  6400t  but not sure.

Wouldnt you need like an i7? i wouldnt think the i3 and i5 have enough pcie bandwidth... my understandings is each 1x pcie slot reserves 2 channels on pcie controller..... the motherboard may be compatible with the lower cpu's but do they have enough channels to fully use the motherboard fully??

ive read that i3 with 16 channels can only support up to 8 gpu's max

ive read that i5 with 16 channels can only support up to 8 gpu's max

ive read that i7 with 28 channels can only support up to 14 gpu's max



truth is I am not sure  but  I have i5 6400t  and I have i7 6700t.  and I think I will do 1 big rig no more.  so I am set.


to the fork.


I have

btc----------6 =   15000
cash ---------  =   3000
gpus ---------  =  10000
asics ---------  =   6000
other coins --- =   1000
total assets      =  35000
  credit debt     =    6000
 net worth        =   29000

looks to me I need less btc more cash and get some other coins
