AMD motherboard for 2 x rtx 3060 12GB?

Grafter67 · 14 Nov 2021 at 13:09

As per title. I am looking for recommendations for a ryzen board that will let me use 2 x rtx 3060's at the same time (for mining). My current board (asrock x570 phantom gaming 4) is being a complete pita.

Nobody? I'm not looking to mine big scale and deprive gamers of cards. I paid ott for 3060 12GB's (from ocuk) just to get half decent gaming cards and want to recoup a little of my outlay, but the 12GB models are gimped to not work on risers or 1x slots, hence why they can be bought for £550 or so and are in stock sometimes..

Any board should work really provided the gap between the slots is large enough, what's the issue with your current board?

current board doesn't like 2 x gpu's regardless of bios or settings such as going from pcie 4.0 to pcie 3.0

3060 12GB won't work on a x1 riser, so I need a board with 2 good pcie slots

Except you did :cry:

There's the mining forum, go ask in there if you don't want fingers pointing at you.

I hate the fact that miners can get these cards easier than us gamers. You got 2 3060's and hope gamers will help you. Besides it wouldn't surprise me if miners have more of the gpus than us gamers just say nothing to not annoy (better choice of words here but profanity not allowed you know) all the gamers out there. Best go start thread in the miners sub category to avoid finger pointing as already stated.

The ONLY reason to buy 2 3060 is to mine or use them in 2 PCs. There is no way to use them in SLI anymore.

There is a blindingly simple solution to your problem. Sell one of the 3060 and then just "not" mine on the other 3060 to recoup the cost of two 3060 that you did not need to layout because you certainly are not a miner.
