Asus B250 Mining Expert. Review motherboards for 19 cards
Source:
Sooner or later every miner needs to increase the number of cards and comes to the need to collect one big rig. Agree, very comfortable to manage a large number of cards on the same motherboard — saving on the hard disk, RAM and processors. And since this is turning into a real pleasure.
theMotherboard for mining from Asus
Today we have a mini-review of the Asus B250 Mining Expert. Will not be much focus on the technical part, and check it in. So, what's the feature of this Board? It has 19 connectors under the graphics card, so positioned as minerska motherboard. Look closer.
The Board is working on the B250 Intel processor on a socket LGA1151 under DDR4 respectively. Also the Board has 6 power phases for the CPU. But most importantly — 18 PCI-E x1 and one PCI-E x16. The Board also has connectors for connection of three power supplies, which is also convenient. But whether the charge holds 19 cards?
Please first Consult the manual. The manufacturer recommends to connect the card according to the following scheme.
As you can see, 19 maps can be run only with maps P106, in other cases pamineti will not work. Even 13 cards the manufacturer recommends to “dilute” cards from Nvidia that we are quite satisfied. We go to practice.
Test will be on the Assembly:
theAsus B250 Mining Expert Intel Celeron G3930 QUMO 4Gb DDR4
And, of course, our favorite .
themining. Where to begin?
So That was our test stand in the middle of the test:
We Started off with a pair of proven rigs and installation of 8 cards. I thought that the motherboard 19 slots certainly need to see them. She saw them, but look at the screenshot:
There was clearly something wrong. After numerous hours on the forums we decided to update the BIOS and plug the cards one by one.
One card works fine. What will happen to the two?
All Too well. Now connect the third.
3, and even 4 cards work fine.
Here we began to rejoice and choose the color lamby to buy, because only need to add one card, and all will be well. In the end, consistently turned to run 8 cards to the nurse. As he placed ninth, just caught the decline Hasrat, errors, hang — stability here and did not smell. We also plugged the Board in different slots, as it suggest on the forums, tried various variants, changed risers, power supplies and cards. Here are some of the schemes:
And as advised by the letter G.
And return the letter G.
Spent a lot of time and effort, but still more than 8 cards did not start. The most stable result was achieved only with two Nvidia onboard. And the result is not the best because of Hasrat on RX570 constantly falling to 27 Megaherz, while other Riga has consistently received 29. Further picking pay to anything good has not resulted. Plus Board does not like overclocking — allocating a frequency to each card individually, we saw only the fall Hasrat to the next. In General, the Board behaved inappropriately. Touch the result is not desirable.
theInsights
Without a doubt, you can continue to peretyat cards to infinity and look for the option in which the mother will remain stable. However, out of the box hack from Asus does not hold even 10 cards, not that 19. I have no doubt that this motherboard can run a lot more cards on one Riga, as evidenced by the reports of users who ran 13 cards or more, but not without dancing with a tambourine.
Also I assume that we just got a bad copy. But from the motherboard for $ 300 want a stable job and pay off each PCI-E and not spending time searching for a working configuration. Plus, we did not test the motherboard on the Windows, as we are fierce fans . I do not think that the wind situation will be better. So with our instance exactly.
In the end a couple of rigs in 12-14 uidaho much better than this misunderstanding. At least on some of the motherboards we quietly launched, sewed and broke up a lot of cards without consequences. Besides, more time was occupied collecting stand under the rig, not the setting. And assuming the economic component, motherboard with 2 percent in a sense pay for the purchase of DDR4. Now this type of more expensive DDR3 memory, plus the CPU 1151 will cost much more expensive.
In General, if you like poking around in hardware and there are no problems with the nerves, buy Asus B250 Mining Expert. If you want stability and simplicity of setup you will note a trouble-free Board. With this there is a high probability of problems.
