This Mobo is hard to get all 6 cards mining. If you can return, return it if not pm me i'll send you my bios. i have 2 of this mobo. All runing 6 cards

I would recommend 1070 instead of 1080. They are more versatile because some memory intensive algorithms like Dagger Hashimoto (which Ethereum uses) doesn't work well with 1080's GDDR5X memory.

Also if you want to save, there are much cheaper motherboards which in my experience work as well as that 180$ MSI motherboard for example this: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-H110-D3A-LGA1151-2xDDR4-Motherboard/dp/B073ZMZV6K/

Save yourself a headache and return that board. I have only had problems with it when mining.
Pick up one of these:

But if you want to try to fix it set:

In bios set PCI-E slots to gen 2.

Enable 4g decoding

I just built this for something to keep me out of trouble, didn't really expect to make any money, maybe free heat in the winter. So far I'm pleasantly surprised it's making ~$40 weekly (at rates as of today, lol) after deducting power costs. No sure how long it will last at that rate, but I'm having fun. Got one more 8pin (to dual 6pin) corsair type 3 cable arriving next week, then will be able to throw another card in there (PSU has six 8pin ports). Making about 100+ RVN daily right now, probably gonna look for newer coins once in awhile and just HODL them all and see what happens...that's my stragegy so far.

I was very surprised how well the 3 front fans do only being 800 to 1000 RPM, then again I don't have monster GPUs in this rig, just 6pin 1060s. Heat did NOT increase after closing the top, BUT I had to remove the front door because it cut down airflow too much and things heated up very quickly. Mining X16 seems to keep heat / power usage down I guess? Haven't mined much else yet, I suspect ethash might be a different story.

EDIT: The four 1060 GPUs are only pulling 330 watts at the wall...pretty sweet. I haven't mined in years, I was predicting a lot higher.

Gonna figure out something for the case soon or just make one. Checked the parts to see if they're compatible and they seem fine together but I could be wrong. This won't be a profitable build, I'm aware but just for fun. Total cost just a little above 700 at 764

Before even further troubleshooting, this the motherboard that I’m using. Here is the link to the Amazon product.

One of my friend saw motherboard and told me it doesn’t come with a WiFi card and I have to plug in a portable WiFi adapter. What do you think?
