Mining Hardware Guide
There's a lot to consider before getting started in setting up your crypto mining machine. We highly recommend starting with AMD graphics card like the BIOSTAR RX 470 graphics card. After which, other components are chosen and the necessary parts are ready including PCI-e riser cards and if you'll be using around six graphics cards, we highly recommend one 80 PLUS Platinum certified 1200W power supply. The BIOSTAR motherboard for crypto mining series features dedicated two AUX power connectors for reinforced VGA power delivery for superior system stability and enhance GPU performance.

If mining directly, yes. But most mine via an autoexchanger these days.

The main problem is not hooking up 6 or more graphics cards, the main issue is getting all graphics card to show up and work properly. I tried so many different amount of motherboard with enough PCIE slots, 6 in total, and most time 4 is the max amount of cards and function. I tried b250, some z170, z270 and z97 boards. The board that worked was actually a Biostar board with 6 gpu's.
