By the way,
I have been in touch with Asus Technical Support just yesterday and here is the summary to those who are interested:
1) on Asus official website it is mentioned that "An unlimited number of GPUs will be supported following a driver update that is planned for Q4 2017"
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/B250-MINING-EXPERT/2) Although it is clearly mentioned that unlimited # of GPUs will be supported this year, the technical support could NOT confirm such info, so basically they are clueless whether this will actually happen this year or not
3) At the moment, you can run a maximum of 13 AMD GPUs without facing great challenges. However, officially it is not recommended to exceed 11 AMD GPUs
4) There is one official thread from Asus where they propose different set-ups, so yes, if you max on 13 AMD GPUs, the Mobo will look for P106 mining specific GPUs to complement the 19
https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1034921It is very interesting what do you guys think about this Mobo
From one hand, we all know that AMD is the king in mining:
1) it has got better hashrate for every dollar invested
2) yes i hear about electricity efficiency of the Nvidia cards, but if you make your calculations you will find out that 5,000$ invested on AMD cards will net more $$$ than if they were invested on Nvidia cards, regardless of the coin you mine and regardless of the cost of electricity at your location. if you think otherwise, send me your #s and i will be very happy to revise them, i am pretty sure you must have missed something
3) If we can max only 13 GPUs on this Mobo or officially 11, then do we really need 19 slots? assuming that you really want to get the best out of your invested $$?
4) Has any of you challenged Asus on this limitation of 11 AMD GPUs? has anyone got further info when this limit will be eliminated?
Thank you!
