Which motherboards work for mining?

[danielo89]

Hello. I wonder if there is any way to determine if a spesific mobo will work for mining (for example with 6 GPUs). And is there any difference if you use Nvidia/AMD?

And can anyone tell me if these spesific cards will work (i.e you have seen it work)
Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 5 -- (7 PCIe-slots)
Asus B85 pro gaming -- (7 PCIe-slots)
(does it matter if it is PCIe x 1?)

Thanks

I'd recommend using NVIDIA as the temps and power usage are a little better and can give you larger profit although your powercost will probably outweigh that.

Either of the boards will work I'd recommend the Z96 Gaming 5 though.
