    New Mobo handles 20 GPUs

    PCIe over USB? Never heard of that. I wonder how it compares to Gen3 x16?

    Well, let us know after you've built your 20 1080TI test system.

    I imagine they are just bridging from GPU PCIe to USB back to PCIe on mobo PCIe bus. The H370 chipset only supports 20 PCIe lanes so I bet each GPU gets 1x PCIe speed back and forth to the CPU. I think that's ok for mining but not crunching.

    That mobo only gives 1 PCIe 3.0 lane to each GPU. Terrible for us.
