my friend already purchased ryzen 1700x for my productivity work.Now he is planning to run 6 rx580s on that for mining.i was looking at "Asus PRIME X370" mobo and it says:
2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8)
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (max at x4 mode) *****
3 x PCIe 2.0 x1
NOTE:***** PCIeX16_3 slot shares bandwidth with PCIeX1_1 and PCIeX1_3. *****
To me it looks like if i am using "1x PCIe 2.0 x16" then 2 slots out of "3x PCIe 2.0 x1" are going to be unavailable cause they share bandwidth.Which also means i can leave this "1x PCIe 2.0 x16" empty and use those all 3 slots of "3x PCIe 2.0 x1" and have total of 5 gpus instead of having just 4. And 6 gpus is imposible on this mobo.
so am i right or wrong. plz help.And suggest me if there is any other amd mobo with 6 gpu conformed support.
