How many suckers will buy this?
With the huge popularity of cryptocurrency mining (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin), ASRock is launching a new motherboard with an incredible 13 PCIe slots. During Computex, ASRock will demonstrate the soon-to-be-launched H110 Pro BTC+ motherboard that is dedicated to serve mining users and show how to mine cryptocurrencies and earn Bitcoin efficiently.
Might be a useful board for someone needing a whole bunch of PCI express connectors.

Probably not many considering that GPU mining is mostly dead.
>>60724220
No one said anything about GPU.
>>60723834
You can get pci splitters that people have been using for ages.
You still have the same amount of pci-e lanes.
>>60724238
How are you going to be mining on this board? CPU?
>>60725616
You know there are pci-e ASIC miners right?
>>60723834
>13 PCI-e slots for a total of 16 lanes
I'm sure all those GPUs running at 1x won't slow down the mining at all.
>>60725830
Mining isnt bandwidth heavy
>>60724220
GPU mining is nowhere near dead
>>60724220
It's not dead until ETH moves to POS and zCash becomes too difficult, assuming nothing takes their place, familam
>>60725902
ETH is not the most profitable GPU coin right now

>I'm sure all those GPUs running at 1x won't slow down the mining at all.
Correct
>>60725927
It depends on your GPU - some are better than others in terms of which algorithm runs most efficiently. I don't mine directly though, just run nicehash, so I get paid in BTC to rent out my GPUs to other people who figure out what to mine with them. But considering I just have two R9 290X with a 10% lower power cap on both, I get pretty good returns mostly having them rented out for ETH and sometimes zCash.

Is it worth getting into right now?
>>60724220
theres only one slot that could fit a gpu. This is obviously for pci asics
>>60727424
Check out the calculators, there are plenty out there.
The biggest uncertainty right now is regarding Ethereum moving to POS, which may kill mining for it - and right now ethereum is the most profitable to mine.
>>60723834
I thought single machines were limited to 8 gpus due to pcie address space limitations.
Otherwise why not daisychain 3000 of pic related on some shitty $15 mobo?
>>60727968
you don't know what you're talking about, please fuck off
>>60724220
what isn't then
I just finished trying to setup a zcoin miner with a Ubuntu virtualization. Couldn't setup a wallet, couldn't set up the GPU to mine.
What a load of bollocks.
Instructional websites that leave out some steps and links that loop to the same page seem to be put there to block others from getting started.

Just use nicehash
>>60723834
All that computation power wasted on a whole heap of nothing to mine crypto currency instead of being used for some form of useful research or service.
>>60730277
Sounds like you are just getting a cut of someone else's hash and for them to give you a cut means you are getting ripped off?
So you either set up your own if you have the hardware or don't bother
