On the motherboard, you can fiddle with all the BIOS settings regarding mining, etc. I got hung up because I chose "6 cards" for mining. It did a weird POST screen and wouldn't boot. I put it on "More than 6" and it works fine (even though I only have 6).

On the Power Supply, you can just get any PSUs or any 1200W. I did notice it was pulling just over 1000W the other night but I didn't check which algorithm it was doing. There is another Corsair 1200W for $50 less than mine. I don't know the difference, but it wasn't available when I ordered, so I just threw down for $300.

Good luck! Let me know if you run into trouble and I'll look at my settings or whatever.

i would try a few more times with the m.2. i spent most of my spring break trying to figure this out and its not worth my time or headache for the $100 for a new mobo! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072LXX4NF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 good price i got mine for $90

Save your cash and use the TB250-BTC. It has a Nvme slot so you can add the 7th card. I have 6 cards running on it and it has been very reliable.
