Hey Steemians,
I did a post yesterday about the new hardware i got for my new mining rig
https://steemit.com/mining/@timmyit/new-mining-rig-hardware-arrived-today
In this post i want to go more in depth on the motherboard i choose which is the MSI Z270-A PRO
In choosing a motherboard i had a few criteria that needed to be fulfilled
I ended up paying 1195 NOK for it which is about $143 dollars which is pretty much the cheapest Z270 motherboard you can buy here in Norway. It has 6 PCI-E slots and is also marketed as a Mining motherboard by MSI as shown in there product page

And with this i hope there won't be any big issues with running 6 or possible more graphic cards. What I've been reading there has been a few issues with the Z170 boards running more then 5 cards so that why I choose to stick with the new Z270. reasoning for DDR4 was simply that I had DDR4 memory laying around i wanted to reuse them.
Continuing forward I will do a few posts on the hardware i got for the mining rig and then I'll start doing a full build log where I show off all my mistakes and problems I run in to (there's already been a few hehe)
