If you are going to mine Zcash then you should add a gpu or several, just the mobo itself isn’t going to get you much 🙂

Reviving this post… I have the same card but my cpu died… What cpu would be recommended with this board to mine eth?

I would probably use RX480 cards.

Thankk you.

if you are GPU mining, then a simple 2/4 core processor will work fine
