Asus has released the new B250 Mining Expert motherboard. The new board features 19 PCIe slots, three 24-pin power connectors, and a mining focused BIOS, on an ATX form factor. It is socket 1151 with only 2 RAM slots, ASUS says it is designed to work with inexpensive Celeron CPU's.
Either ASUS is late to the party, or cryptocurrency mining isn't slowing down for now. Pretty impressive board for those into mining, at a very impressive price, the B250 Mining Expert is available at Newegg for $149.99. If you have or can find enough GPUs to feed this beast.
Graphics drivers from AMD and NVIDIA currently restrict systems to eight GPUs, so even if you draw from both camps, you’re effectively capped at 16 total. However, we’ve been working closely with AMD on a new driver that removes the upper limit for Radeon GPUs. Scheduled for release in Q4, that driver promises to fully unleash the Mining Expert’s potential.
