scr4wl Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) LOL, That's also a lot of added cost for no return assuming he's mining. Also, i'm assuming he's using risers anyway, so why so close together? Or is there a board out there with 11 x16 slots Edited September 4, 2017 by scr4wl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Its not for mining. It Octane rendering for 3D stuff. That board has 12 slots I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 I believe that guy is using the SuperMicro X10DRX https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X10DRX.cfm. which is 10 slots 8x and 1slot 4x. SuperMicro does have a true 12 slot board but it only comes in a special barebones that is $5,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) I can't tell from that picture, do those slots have the notch cut out to fit an x16 card? I've got a supermicro board that has a bunch of pcie slots like that, but I can't install gpus on them without risers because no notch Speaking of boards with lots of slots, been tempted to grab one of these, the price seems reasonable: https://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9B-13-157-781&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleBiz-Mobile&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleBiz-Mobile-_-pla-_-Motherboards+-+Intel-_-9B-13-157-781&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4IbAut2M1gIVUpR-Ch1v3QFVEAQYAiABEgLSKPD_BwE Edited September 4, 2017 by scr4wl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Or you can get this ASUS B250 with 19 slots http://www.anandtech.com/show/11739/asus-announces-b250-expert-mining-motherboard-19-expansions-slots But that SuperMicro board must have cutouts because those cards aren't on risers. The dude has 30+ videos for a build log of a 14 1080s system. Those where using a Asrock workstation board from what i can tell but split across two systems. I wish I kept my ASUS X79 WS. that had 8 16x length PCIE slots, though wired for 8x for all but the top slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
