Re: MSI Z270-A PRO and MSI Z270 Gaming Plus both confirmed working with 7GPU
I know it probably will work but do you have any plans to test it on windows?
I hadn't planned on Windows. I'm running ethOS and everything was working on the prior Asus mobo (before it died).
Re: MSI Z270-A PRO and MSI Z270 Gaming Plus both confirmed working with 7GPU
I can't get my Z270 Gaming Plus to recognize any of my RX 570s 
Nothing is ever detected in any PCIe slot in Board Explorer. This is with both trying a GPU directly in a slot as well as PCI risers. The cards worked in my old ASUS PRIME Z270-P.
Any ideas? I've tried pretty much every BIOS setting. The latest BIOS is installed.

I'm getting 31.6 MH/s steady on 4 cards with ethOS.
Sapphire Nitro+ 4GB
core = 1280
mem = 2200
powertune = 7
miner = claymore
voltage = 0.7
My problem is I need another power cable from my PSU for the risers on the 5th and 6th cards. Hopefully it'll arrive soon!

Re: Thermaltake PSU 6-pin PCI-E cable to 3x 4-pin molex connectors
Yes, that's correct. And not only that, I need a LONG cable, approximately 2 feet, since my final 2 GPUs are the furthest away from my PSU.
These cables came with my Thermaltake PSU, except it only included 2 of them and I need 3 of them.
Also I need 6-pin PCI MALE to 4-pin molex FEMALES (opposite of what you mentioned)

Just to confirm, you're actually looking for a modular cable of molex connectors for your PSU, right?
A 6-pin PCIe (female) to 3x 4-pin molex (male) passive adapter would be an unusual item, since all of the molex connectors would be missing the 5V line.
The PSU end of modular power cables are not standardized well, and 6-pin PCIe power connectors are distinct from the 6-pin connections on the side of a modular PSU.

Re: Thermaltake PSU 6-pin PCI-E cable to 3x 4-pin molex connectors
Yes, it's the molex 4 pin cable I need for my final 2 risers 
I have enough cables to power the GPUs.

I have the 1000watt version of this PSU and can run 5 gpus off of the Pci-e connectors (3 cables with 2 (6+2) connectors each).
You should be able to connect more than 4 using just those (unless you are using cards of varying lengths).
The molex 4 pin cables are better suited for risers (not ideal for gpu's) but I believe you can get connectors like the ones below for your gpu's to run of the molex. each molex connector can deliver upto 75watt so keep that in mind for the card you are running.

Thermaltake PSU 6-pin PCI-E cable to 3x 4-pin molex connectors
I'm not sure if this is the best place to post, but does anyone know if these bad boys are sold anywhere else?
https://ttstoreusa.com/product/4-pin-molex-connector-for-smart-series/
I have this PSU and it only came with 2 of these cables that are needed to connect to my PCI risers. I figured out from trial-and-error that I can use 1 cable for 2 GPUs but not more than that or ethOS becomes unstable. So I'm currently maxed out with 4 GPUs and the other 2 are sitting in their boxes
Thanks in advance!

Re: Best way to measure power consumption for (6x) AMD RX 570 running ethOS?
Does nobody know how to actually measure power draw? Use an amp clamp and do some basic math
This is what I was thinking. Just using a multimeter to measure Amps and Volts and multiplying
I'm just not sure where to connect the positive from the multimeter on the RX 570 card. Anyone know? Or maybe I can connect it to the PCI slot or riser?
Re: Best way to measure power consumption for (6x) AMD RX 570 running ethOS?
I use Corsair Link to see AC input, DC output, efficiency, temperature, fan speed, etc.
That doesn't help me since I'm running ethOS (Ubuntu)
Re: Best way to measure power consumption for (6x) AMD RX 570 running ethOS?
To get a reliable reading you should really buy a watt-meter. One of those you put in your outlet. This is the only way you will know for sure how much power you're using. Diffrent miners have power settigns aswell, but these are not reliable i have found out.
Yeah but that will just tell me the total system usage, not the usage of each individual GPU.
Re: Best way to measure power consumption for (6x) AMD RX 570 running ethOS?
Ok it sounds like the Kill-A-Watt measures at the outlet, but how do I measure the consumption of EACH individual AMD GPU?
Maybe a setup like this? lol

Re: I think I'm dumb, how the heck is this motherboard mounted?
I could be wrong, but it looks like the mobo is actually sitting on the box it came in? It looks like they use zip ties to keep the wood in place, sat the mobo on it's original box, and used more zip ties through the mounting holes to create tension. I've seen worse, but I would probably just drill and mount stand-offs to the wooden base. Might be a good idea to glue the wood in place also. Too much zip tie action all around for my liking.
Hmmm it does sorta seem like there's wood underneath, but the case didn't include any, it was only the metal frame.
Here's the actual listing on eBay (just updated my original post):

I bought this case off eBay:

But I can't figure out how the mobo is mounted. It almost looks like there's a black string or cable holding it up? Any thoughts? I was considering screwing some wood pieces to the frame and then mounting the mobo on top of them.
Would appreciate any insight
