Be careful about the bios
I bought this motherboard to do a machine learning build. The board itself look very solid, with sufficientamount of x16 pcielanes. It could support up to 4 gtx1080 ti without any problem. And there are 8 memory slots. Other components are: i9 7940x, 8X16Gb gskillram, 3X1080ti gpu, WD 512G m.2 SSD. However, I experienced a lot of trouble when trying to make this motherboard work. First, with initial bios, it is almost impossible to get ubuntuins... Show More

Problematic bios for machine learning build
The physical quality of this motherboard looks good, it allows installation of 4 GPU which is very good for machine learning build. However, the bios is very problematic, with the initial bios, I encountered countless hardware errorswhile installing different versions of ubuntu. I finally installedubuntu 18.04 with the latest bios (0601 at the time of writing). However, thecomputer will reboot if you try to run tensorflowcode, this makes trainin... Show More

Good for deep learning
This board works well with windows and Linux. We are running Linux and doing deep learning with an rtx titan. So far everything is smooth. The only thing to consider is the first pcie slot is close to the processor so choose your cooler well if you want to use the first slot. But overall a great board for a scientific ws with multiple gpu. Noteably used in many of the deep learning boxes by several vendors.
