Hi folks,
May you advise if it’s woth getting one of those and if yes, which one?
I have a asrock h110 btc pro+ with 6 Vega’s

Thanks

Youre verry limited when it comes to pcie speed on h110, but a nest x2g solution would work.
Ie put 2 acorns and 4 vega's on a nest x2g.
If you want full boost of vegas, then something like nest x4 should work, 2 acorns and 2x m.2 to pcie x4 adapters and then have the vegas there running x4.

But with such a setup you need to trust that the nest boards dma engine works as they say, and eliminate the need for high throughput data comming to the motherboard.
It might be better to wait and see when the first batch is shipped and the reports gets in.


I got 2 215+ and 1 nest x2g  I will get it with multiple setups to see what I get out of it.

my cost was about 790 usd for that.

ordering a 215+  and then getting the second 215+ with the nest x2g is a safe play

 worst case it is a 345 loss which is not terrible.
