What is this mainboard?

[nj4ck]

See image. It says Gigabyte GA-H110M-D2P, but I am unable to find it anywhere, not even on Gigabyte's website. I'm looking for a cheap motherboard that can support two GPUs (Edit, NOT in SLI/CF) and stumbled across this on ebay. Maybe someone here can help, I'm a little uncomfortable buying a motherboard that doesn't exist on the manufacturer's website.

If you are looking to use an SLI setup, i wouldn't recommend getting a cheap motherboard.

it is a real board cos i have the same one

Find another board. Even if it does support SLI and Crossfire, the second GPU would only be PCI-e 8x electrically so you won't be getting the full bandwidth. Plus the second GPU would get in the way of your USB headers.

No SLI, I just need 2 GPUs in the same system, it's for GPU rendering.

Don't need SLI and x8 is fine, I plan on using it for rendering in Octane.

The second pci-e x16 is probably only x4 electrically, and from the chipset.

 

If you plan to use it for second graphics card, it would probably suck.

 

As for realness, genuine etc... yeah, it is. Could be an OEM board, or a board sold only in some regions (like Europe).

That's part of why I'm asking. If it's only x4, that could be a problem. 2 x8 slots are perfectly fine for me though, this isn't supposed to be a gaming rig.

The h110 chipset can only create 6 pci-e v2.0 lanes, so I assume one goes to the pci-e x1 and 4 go to the second pci-e x16 slot and my guess is that the x1 slot gets disabled automatically when you shove something in the x4 slot which uses 4 lanes or more... because the onboard sound and the network card are probably also using each one x1 lane.  So you could have two x1 cards plugged in those slots, but only one x4 or bigger... I'm not sure. Ideally you'd find a manual.

 

Looking at another board that has two pci-e x16 but no pci-e x1, you can see in specs that the second one is pci-e x4 v2.0 : https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110M-D3H-rev-10#sp

 

Yeah, this pdf for a ready made PC with your motherboard lists the slots as x1 and x16 (at max x4 v2.0) : http://cdn-reichelt.de/documents/datenblatt/E910/TERRA_1009487_DB.pdf
