Title: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar? Post by: Starsky886 on March 31, 2017, 06:20:33 PM Hello!
I'm looking to buy a BIOSTAR TB250-BTC LGA 1151 Intel B250 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboards - Intel, but I would like to know if anyone made it works without any modding of the mobo ? Thank you very much! Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar? Post by: Elder III on March 31, 2017, 09:12:47 PM I have not seen them in stock to purchase yet. Did you find yours in the US?
I have it's predecessor, the TB85 from Biostar and it has been good to me in the ~6 weeks I have had it mining. Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar? Post by: Za1n on April 01, 2017, 01:45:53 AM NewEgg had them for about a half of day, I had one in my cart and was specing out the rest of the order and it was sold out by the time I went to checkout. They did have a 1 per customer limit for the brief time it was listed, I suspect to maybe gauge interest. Seeing they sold out so fast, hoping they get more in soon.
Here is the link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138449 Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar?

So far we are having a lot of problems with them. It can only detect 4 GPUs, but we are trying other things to see. I also saw some complaints about these supporting only 4 GPUs. I will update my post later with our results, but so far it's shit. Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar?

If you are using windows 7 it wont work for 6 gpus, must be windows 10. http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/support/faq_content.php?S_ID=768 (http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/support/faq_content.php?S_ID=768) Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar? Post by: justchil on April 20, 2017, 09:18:18 PM I ran 6 gpu on this board with the above tweaks (Win10) and it runs great! I am now running 5 gpu systems in hopes of better cooling -- it's still a great board. There are better/cheaper CPU's. I was only able to get one so far.
Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar? Post by: isoneguy on April 20, 2017, 09:25:23 PM The 4 GPU limit appears to be associated with kabylake CPUs.
Skylake should work fine with more GPUs. Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar? Post by: virtexl on April 21, 2017, 04:09:52 AM The 4 GPU limit appears to be associated with kabylake CPUs. Skylake should work fine with more GPUs. I don't think that's true. I run my TB250-BTC boards with Intel G4560 and G3930 with 6 GPUs, and I believe they are both kabylake CPUs. Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar? Post by: isoneguy on April 21, 2017, 04:20:00 AM Interesting...It must be limited to specific motherboards or cpu's then.
On a side note, all MSI "PRO series" boards should have a bios settings for crypto mining...they have become aware. Title: Re: Anyone tested the TB250-BTC Biostar? Post by: Grumo on April 21, 2017, 05:53:58 AM yeah plugged in yesterday, all works fine. bios update may be required for the kabylake
