I really hope AMD starts cranking out GPU's.

And this motherboard has been released yet? :(
Any other details like cost and ETA of a release date on this?

Nope and nope.

But I know someone that is due back from Taipei tomorrow so hopefully that info will be available.

What's the maximum amount of GPUs that Windows 10 can recognize? Would a system like this require a specific Linux distro?

Someone told me about this and I thought it was a joke!

Will this need a high-end CPU, like a server part that can handle a ridicuous number of PCIe lanes?

Obviously this is aimed at professional miners so it will be used in Linux.

I can imagine it will be very expensive.

We need better OS.

wasn't 13 slot only? the motherboard is h110 pro btc right? or another new version? i'm confused now, maybe they changed somethign after the last issue that fried up their motherboard demo?

14 gpus  if they were 14 1080 ti's  founder edition  with a tdp set at 70%  it would be 250 x .7 = 175 watts per gpu x 14 = 2450 watts

so the server psu ibm  2880 or 2980   with a pico psu attached   and 20 cables   would be short cables not power.


finksy's 2 x 2000 watt 4k psu would be good  as it has 30 cables.

it will be fun to see it working.

If you are like me  with 12 -15 working loaded mobos that can do 50 psus you would not need this.

but if you are going to open a farm  and want 10 of these running 140 gpus it is nice.

depends on price and cpu needed.

I hope they can make a 8 slots MB now.

Interesting, if well priced I'll get these instead of biostar tb250 btc. But still, 14 gpu is too much, I'll stick with 6-7.
With every additional component, there is an extra point of failure. Penny pinching $100 out of a $2-3k rig just isn't wise imo.

Not to mention better cpu, more ram and storage is needed (for virtual memory). You could technically cheap out on these, but remember there were days during zcash's launch when cpu usage was 100% for those celeron users, causing reduced hash rate.
