Gigabyte 990FX-UD7 is better. Full-size slots = more hashing power.

And yes too late! Maybe Intel will come up with Bitcoin mining CPU? :D

Gigabyte 990FX-UD7 is outdated, you can't find it in the market any more and it is overpriced..

Gigabyte 990FX-UD3 is way better and cheaper, it is like 100$ and you can slot in 6 GPU without much problem...

Are there any successful SHA alt coins at the moment?

None, I am guessing the motherboard is more for scrypt base alt-coin.... but only if it is cheap...

Not bad, it can be used for Litecoin mining, but I guess too late investing money to GPU Litecoin mining

Yeah I've recently read about that. Very late actually.

H81 Pro BTC

Your Bitcoin mining machine. Join the gold rush now!

http://www.asrock.com/mb/sticker/8-Bitcoin-H81%20Pro%20BTC.jpg

You do realize that there's people out there thinking that if they buy two, they're earn twice as much bitcoins.

Hell, there's probably some guy in Kentucky, let's say, that's now convincing his family and friends into doing a group buy for a couple dozen, knowing where he can get free electricity... Strike that... Electricity cost won't even come into the equation, dismissing it as not being that much.

If I'm not mistaken, these aren't pre-orders, but devices ready to go from a reputable outfit. They're in like flint, read the sellers and what the buyers are thinking.

HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

This motherboard supports HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) which is an interface standard for transferring uncompressed video data and delivering multi-channel audio through a single cable. Both video and audio data signals transferred through the HDMI™ interface are digital without being converted into analog, therefore it delivers the richest pictures and the most realistic sounds.

You can watch movies on your GPU miner. Cool.

No, they aren't late. GPU mining is still profitable just they should rename their motherboard to something else...

nice a nextgen mediastation/heating unit for the cold season.
in combo with modified steam OS this might be a winner...

Still waiting for the pricing..

Price will be a factor but still I think it's too late.
If they come up with an asic , that's going to be nice.
We might even get rid of those so called companies with their damn pre-orders that are floating around right now.
