Two GPU setup

[FloppyDisk512kb]

Hello, newbie here. I currently own a MSI B365M PRO VH mobo and a RTX 3070. Im planning to buy another RTX 3070 and try to explore crypto mining. Can I use my current owned mobo for a 2 GPU setup for mining?

You would be substantially bottlenecked by pcie x1 to the second gpu.

Even in crypto mining where that connection isnt the most important, it would suffer quite a bit like that.

Get a board with two x16 slots to at least run 8 and 8 if you want to do that.

 

If you want to get into casual crypto mining, the price of an RTX 3070 could get you one of those custom motherboards with a little Celeron and a dozen pcie slots to attach a ton of rx 570’s to, which would be more economical and probably a little more fun to work with than a second gpu in your main pc.

It has two PCI E slot. Cant I use 2 riser on it?
