Title: ASROCK BTC Rev2 obsolete .. any recommendation on updated board?
Post by: mewhoyou on November 26, 2016, 02:53:12 PM
As 1150 slots processor are being obsoleted, I am looking for new replacement with 1151 sockets. Any recommendation?

I agree, this motherboard is quite old and unavailable locally. I still wonder why nobody made a similar board for the 1151 socket.

it is ? I'm  about to buy one of the H81 BTC 1150 socket boards on new egg for 69 dollars new . if i could find one of the older H61 btc 1155 socket boards at a reasonable price i would buy one so i can keep using my Ivy bridge cpu, it's still very usable for mining

 i don't think there is one better for the 1150 cpu ?.

Problem is i was able to get a hold of 40 boards but the proc is giving me an issue as intel has stop producing them.

I still think that G3258 and H81 BTC pro is the best combination for mining.

I am trying Z170 G4400 board and 1x PCIE multiplier 3x 1x-PCIE for 6 GPU rig in LGA1151 category. I will post soon my results. I am trying to bypass 4 GPU lane restrictions on Z170 chipset

because asrock tought mining was dead after the boom of 2014 with doge, so they didn't bother anymore

there is a great demand for this MB so it's a bit expensive now, but you can still easily find it on ebay and amazon

The 1150 processors are available everywhere, where are you having a hard time finding them? On NewEgg the socket 1150 has the most selection available of any socket type, including the 1151. Intel is also still cranking out the higher end processors in the line. They may be looking to begin phasing out the lower end once Kaby Lake hits, but even once this happens there are plenty of chips in the supply pipeline to last a few more years easily.
