Hi, I’m new to the forum, just planned to start mining Zcash on the same platform, using MSI Z170-A Plus and 6 x MSI GTX 1080 ti FE that i found cheap before the actual rocket launched prices off 1070 and everything else.
Based on BIOS updates from MSI for all the z170 and z270 boards, I decided to go with the mentioned model, because of the price and VGA onboard connection, which will be used as primary video for monitoring, hooked to a KVM Switch.
I suppose that onboard CPU video could be enable as primary video and then use 6 x GTX 1080 ti without any video connections.
I’m waiting for PSUs Arrival, will be using EVGA 1000GQ plus 850GQ. A dual setup, because of the wattage on this video cards, approx 250w + per card.
I’ll comment here if everything goes as spected, thanks for your tips @MiningStarter an everyone who commented a possible workaround for this motherboard.
Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.
Happy Mining and Moneymaking for all.
