Although I’m very experienced with software and hardware, I’ve never built a mining rig or “linked” more than 2 GPUs to one mobo. Equipment and setup I think will come easy however I wanted to inquire as to whether there were any guides on the necessary code/strings/commands needed to “get it going”…of course this will vary between equipment and specs but if anyone would like to point me in a good general directions, I’d be quite grateful!

Msi Afterburner to setup custom fan profiles and monitor temps
And a simple config file and start.bat on Claymore V4.0
In Config file:
-zpool zec-eu2.nanopool.org:16666
-zwal taddress.worker
-zpsw x
-allpools 1
-mport 0
-i 0
In Start,bat:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ZecMiner64.exe
Change taddress.worker to your own and run start.bat
This works on 99.99% of rigs (0.01% is left for faulty hardware / non supported cards / user error etc)

@trolloniex I’m looking to “mass produce” (if you will) and need a cheap/awesome for what I’m doing mobo option to run 6 x Sapphire Radeon RX 480 8GB NITRO+ OC each - I have a friend that bought quite a few of these and is selling them to me for a lot less than retail - hence why I’m going with them. I’ve been looking at th MSI 970 GAMING DDR3 2133 ATX AMD bc it appears for the price - it would do the job with a few mods…ideas?

great! but could you tell me Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 Socket 1150 will have similar spec to gaming 5?
Yes the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 is a good one and can do 7 GPUs but he mentioned the 970 Gaming that has 4x PCI-E and 2x PCI so max 4 GPUs.
That can do 6 GPUs and it’s on the same chipset so I don’t think you will have any problems.

@trolloniex - good point and for whatever reason I read more…@garethtdavies I like the Gaming 5 but its more $$ - trying to minimize initial startup (which I really have done with the deal on the Sapphires) - essentially I’m a huge cheapskate and try to do most things on my own!

Couple of threads within threads here 
as I was replying to @Qlio I have no idea about the Gaming 3 - so you’ll need to do more research the Gaming 5 definitely works and it’s not that easy to find one that does!
You are of course correct on the 970 Gaming!
