Mining motherboard for 6 video cards

 Mining motherboard for 6 video cards


Consider 4 popular mining motherboards for 6 video cards. This is the optimal number of video cards on one rig, in our opinion. The more cards, the less stable the farm works. We are not talking about professional mining boards for 8, 12, 16 video cards. Although even there the stability of work is in question, because. this is not only the merit of the motherboard.


Fewer video cards in one farm are also not very good in terms of savings on other farm components (carcasses).


Another important point, the review will include motherboards for mining for 6 cards, which you can buy now in the store without any problems and shortages. Their prices have gone up a little, but they are still quite affordable.


We will not consider mining boards, which are now very difficult to find, or the prices for which are very high. What you need and how the mining farm works, read more on the website.


For our purposes, we choose socket AM4 boards. Three significant benefits:


AMD processors that are needed for the farm are more energy efficient

AMD processors are cheaper than Intel

Subsequently, these motherboards can be equipped with the latest powerful modern AMD processors with 6, 8, 12 cores and turned into a gaming computer. We will not do this with boards for Intel, because each new generation of processors requires a new socket.

Be sure to learn how to set up a motherboard for mining. Detailed and step-by-step configuration of the motherboards listed below is described in the link, we configured the motherboards for stable operation of the farm on six video cards.


Important characteristics of the board:


Processor socket (Socket) - AM4

Chipset (Northbridge) - AMD B450

Processor - Processor for AM4

Quantity PCI-E 1x — 4 pcs

Quantity PCI-E 16x — 2 pcs

Number of M.2 slots - 1 pc

Qty SATA III - 6 pcs

Memory type - DDR 4 DIMM

MSI on the official website positions the MSI B450-A PRO as a motherboard for cryptocurrency mining. The motherboard has 6 PCI-e slots that are configured for the simultaneous use of six video cards.


Bios settings allow you to enable all the necessary features for mining. This board works stably when mining on 6 video cards.


You can connect another video card to the M.2 slot using an adapter.


We have not decided on video cards, we will tell you which video cards are suitable for mining.
