Do not go with any MSI motherboard, I unfortunately learned the hard way and after spending a couple days trying to troubleshoot what was wrong with my machine (PSU, risers, GPUs, etc...), slowly learned that there are LOTS of people in the mining community who have issues with majority of MSI boards, which was unfortunate because I was originally recommended this board..

Anyways, I'm trying out these 2 now.. Both were recommend to me from several miners.. ASRock tends to be a very popular brand, but these are what I went with

This one holds 6 GPUs using risers of course and

This one holds 13 but I wouldn't recommend going over 6 per rig just out of stability and maintaining it to stay online...

I haven't used the ASRock mobos yet but they are being delivered today, I can report back later tonight after I have everything setup if you'd like.. or send me a message

Thanks for your valuable info, I never knew that MSI mobo is bad for mining. I would like to try asrock 13 gpu model on my next mining rig too, please do share us your experience with it, thanks

Even GPU mining is a losing game. Forget getting a motherboard and possibly get an ASIC. You may not have the knowledge base for all that and could be throwing your money away, but the process will be quicker and the set up will be easier than building a system.

Yeah, I wish I could get my hands on an ASIC, they are especially nice for those who have lower electricity cost. But right now mining profits are at an all time low, hopefully the market will come back and change that up and also bring us some new profitable coins.

Maybe an all time low for you if you started mining in the last 3-4 months. Last time I checked, whattoine showed all the top minable coins were profitable. many close to 0.75-$1 per day for a RX 580. That is nowhere near an 'all time low'. When I stopped mining after the Scrypt/X11 crash in 2014, you would pick coins based on how little you would LOSE per month by mining.
