The growth of cryptocurrency popularity was marked by the advent of special motherboards. A good example is the Biostar TB250-BTC PRO.
Farms for mining cryptocurrency again enjoyed great popularity, so manufacturers are preparing not only dedicated graphics card, but also motherboards. An example here is the latest Biostar model., which will save you in the assembly of high-power farms.
Biostar TB250-BTC PRO works with Intel Skylake and Kaby Lake processors under LGA 1151. Besides, provided two slots for RAM DDR4-2133 / 2400 and six SATA ports 6 Gb / sec.
The main advantage of the card is its rich set of connectors, to which you can connect your graphics card - the manufacturer has provided 1x PCI-Express 3.0 x16 и 11x PCI-Express 3.0 x1. More PCIe slots affect the ability to create a wider configuration and, Consequently, economy (No need to buy a second board, CPU, memory and disk).
On what kind of performance you can expect? for example, after the installation of six cards Radeon RX 470 and sixth GeForce GTX 1060 productivity reaches 246,6 MH / s. Biostar claims, that the cost of equipment purchased must be paid back in about 79 days (on 18 days earlier, than the two separate farms).
But this is not the end of the payment of benefits, because the manufacturer boasts better connector distribution than the competitive ASRock H110 Pro BTC +. Moreover, pci express slots 3.0 x1 connected directly to the chipset, so they are not reduced bandwidth, in the competition model.
Not known yet, when and at what price motherboard will be on sale. What do you think, Does it make sense to release these models?
