Motherboard recommendations for 8 GPUs (+ network issues with H110 Pro BTC+)

Hi All

This isn't an issue but as there is no other way to communicate on here this is all I was left with. Please close if anyone thinks this is not an appropriate place to discuss this.

I was wondering what motherboards people are using? I have had 3 rigs all with the Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ motherboards but I have had lots of issues with network stability. After a few minutes or a few days the motherboard floods the network with pause packets - effectively taking out all 3 miners on one switch. (this is on ubuntu).

I have tried the B250 mining expert but it gets flooded with pcie errors on ubuntu if you use more than 2 cards.

I was initially trying for 3 13 card rigs but the stability (even aside from the network issues) was becoming a problem. I am now aiming for 3 8 card rigs.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Could you post an example of the packages causing the issue? I have tried both motherboards you mentioned above and never had an issue like that. Most network issues are mostly related when miners can't communicate to pools but that never takes the miners down.

Have you tried HiveOS?
