Any intel on availability and price?

No intel...its for AMD proc  ;D

Its a nice board.  Seems quite new as publish date on manual is 5 days ago. 

Not sure why one would use such a high end board to mine.  An old 1151 biostar will do plenty of gpus...for way less cost.

No advantage to plugging them into the actual slots...just increases heat and strain on bus power traces. 

But nice board for a pc...just a lot of waste for a mining rig.

Sure it has 7 full size PCIe slots but they're too close together.  Once you put a video card in one slot at least one other slot will be blocked probably even two slots blocked to leave room for air flow between the cards.  Save your money and get a different board.  philipma1957 found the Onda 1800 motherboard that seems like a great board to mine with.  I've had no experience with them though.

The dual 10 GigE is Intel. ;D

It's terrible for mining, there's no way you can put more than 3 GPUs without risers. Not enough space
and not enough power from the mobo.

It appears to have the power to the pcie bus.  But 7 would be a huge amount to put through it.  It has 2 8pin pci + 6pin pci to motherboard for additional power. 

space for cards and heat would be bad.  Even the manual suggests everyother slot for quad graphics cards.

And you know how expensive this mobo will be...then the proc....only a miner looking to never ROI would use this to mine....unless he gets it for free...then all bets are off :)

Still a nice mobo.

Okay it could work but why.

You want an intel.

I HAVE MINED with fifty different mobos since 2012.

If you want an Intel cpu it implies a lot. So I will ask do you want a win 10 build to be a general pc that mines.
OR do you want an intel to use smos or any linux to be miner only.

That board looks like a nice four card miner with an amd cpu mining monero and four amd 5600 xt cards. Open style no case miner. & general pc.
Personally having used a shit ton of pcs to mine I am not a fan of a mobo like that.

I prefer onda six slot well spaced mining boards doing three or four cards using an 850 to 1000 watt pc. I made a pair of videos yesterday . I will load them on youtube today.

When I build closed case dual purpose pcs I only do two cards. Most of my win 10 builds have 1 or 2 cards. My miners use 3-5 cards on smos.

All my rigs are multi-purpose using regular mobos but if I was going to built a
dedicated rig I would go minimalist:

- Small, don't need full ATX, small PSU
- iGPU for monitor
- USB connectors for all PCIe slots
- no GPU power through mobo
- NVME m.2, no SATA needed
- GPU rack powered seperately

This would be a modular rig where the platform and GPU rack can easilly be swapped.
Think of an audio system with seperate pre- and power- amps.

That idea is good.

I just loaded an onda dp1800 6 slot mother board build. On you tube.

I have no sponsors on my channel so it is not click bait. still loading it.

here is a second build same mobo 3 three card
 loaded it:

I like these as they can expand to 5 or six when better psu's are available and they use cheap ddr3 ram as little as a 2 gb stick will work with smos.

At op I do like that mobo maybe I will pick it up down the road. Use it with an amd 5600 cpu and try to blend in JayDDee's idea.

Not worth the investment, why? This card is too costly and also the pcie slots will still need risers, can't you see that they are too close to each other? There will be problem with heats if the cards are siting next to each other, all those fat cards can't even fit

that is for amd threadripper lol, i think mining randomx and maxout gpu will be nice, but to expensive building randomx miner, and not much profit there

you go better on dedicated mobo mining like gigabyte fintech is stable one without hdmi and using vga ports thats nice one, cant go wrong with vga ports for troubleshouting and monitor

you asked here for you:

it is for intel and nearly similar to this one for 3499$ :)
