My Findings on Motherboards...
-
IawgoM successfully used one recently, no need for powered risers as there are extra molex plugs on the board for PCIe slots. They seem to work great and are priced nicely as well…
-
Thats wrong, IawgoM have the H61 version as far as i know. and he did have issue using all 6 slots. but think he fixed it.

OK thanks for correcting me, I was also reading up on the H81 at Newegg last night and not everyone is happy with them. I would stick with the Gigabyte and if money is no option the Sabertooth Z87…

Yup, pretty stubborn boards I guess, but once you get everything right, it works great.
One really good comment on Newegg was 'Why didn’t Asrock disable all the usual crap on the Mobo" like sound card and serial port etc. So it’s a pure mining Mobo. Just thinking out aloud on that one, probably saves them from making a custom board, this way they can just take an existing chassis and load it up with PCIe slots…

Yup, mine is H61. Actually there was only one real problem that was giving me hard time. As instructed in BitsBeTrippin’ video (they used H81), I wanted to install first GPU in 16x slot. I used 16x-16x riser there…and that was the problem - wouldn’t even boot (no pc speaker to detect error code). when I connected 1x-16x riser to 16x slot…everything was just fine after that…
I did notice on your image you still had to use a dummy plug of some sort on those Toxic’s… After I saw your image I went out and bought 6 toxic’s to imitate what you did, because I’m a wh0re and I don’t want to miss out on anything. I’m sort of in love with the 270x Toxic at the moment… It’s quiet, cool, and when undervolted to 1081 uses sweet f*ck all power… Didn’t need dummy plugs either, the Gigabyte recognised each one first time…
It could become my new favourite card…

270x not the 280x…
I have to laugh as when I 1st got toxics people where shouting about how bad they where!!! UM with 14 running in total now!

Yep the 270x… I had chosen the Sapphire 280x as my card of choice but that could change now… Aren’t you running the 280x Toxic UM?
-
Yep loads of them :)

Nice mate… I’m gonna try the 280x as well but they are always out of stock in Aus… I’ve got that Britney Spears song in my head “Your Toxic I’m Slipping Under…”
-
Very nice… I was admiring those DVI-VGA connectors that came with the card, being clear they sort of look cool. I made a few dummy plugs up myself just in case but thankfully I didn’t need to use them, besides I think I bought the wrong 75 Ohm resistors, they were very thin and kept falling out of the holes… I like the sound of what you’re mate gave you, must feel proper using soldered dummy plugs…
-
I just unplugged them all, still hashing! :D Have to see if everythign would be allright after reboot…
Well, I’m waiting…

Outstanding! Feels so good when things just work!!!
