Anyways, I think focusing on the riserless mobos is better strategy moving forward. Save money on unreliable risers, better heat control and lessen OS compatibility issues.
Which begs the question, how is your progress with the Onda board?

As always, thanks in advance for any updates

I am out of town but cant wait to get back home to work on those boards.
I had limited testing on the board but looks like is working - but MingMining found some kinks on 1st and 2nd GPU slots -- I think there is a special setting on the BIOS to make it work.
I sent a unit to Philip too - I hope it reaches him soon. He can do a more detailed review.
waiting very patiently for it.
I prepped this psu.
