Phil, have you seen this board?

Might be worth ordering one for testing. Riser-less 6GPU rigs would save you lots of components from your 3GPU rigs.

List price is CNY 1100, but the manufacturer's web shop is out of stock.

However, I found it on this website
https://s.taobao.com/search?q=D1800-BTC

Cheapest seem to be around CNY 590, which is the equivalent of $90.

Got a few boards to test.

I want to run Linux on this - anybody knows what mobo chipset is this?

Celeron powered with DDR3 memory should point to chipset before Z170 ?

Per QuintLeo's comment, it uses Intel SoC, so no chipset per se. I'm thinking a recent Linux distro would run just fine.

When do you plan to test the board?

I just got one of my China contacts last night to buy it for me.

Taobao is a Alibaba for domestic market kind of a thing, so plenty of Chinese text there unlike Aliexpress which is designed for International market.

Hope to get it in the next week or so via air - will revert soon.

Bought 3 Qty - 2 for me and 1 donating to Phil :-)

While the concept is remarkably clever, the spacing between the pcie slots is not big enough imo. The cards will be overheating if you stack six of them.

With good fans, airflow and the correct GPUs, that spacing challenge is easily solved.

At this point, I will do almost anything to get rid the of bloody risers Grin

My group has more than 300 x GPUs (90% with risers) and the root of all problems start with those risers.

thanks for donation on the board.

I am now doing my ryzen 1800x build

I need to do some tweaks
