One year to late, or one year to early (BFL Monarch)....

i think im going to get this just the Lols.

Aw, that's funny, someone should ring them up and say change it to Litecoin mining.  :D

If only they made this a year ago.  Still very cool to see a company recognize bit-coin.  It does have some usb ports you can use for true bit-coin mining  ;D

I'm getting it just for the dehumidifier!

glad some of the mobo companies are recognizing miners...

Lolz, its designed for crypto mining but only 6 slot total?

Would have been better if they'd stuck a CPU (Celeron 847 or similar), it'd be ready to go.

Wouldn't this be useful for the BFL monarchs?

where its on sale? Cant find :(

hmmm I can't seem to find it either

Probably never leaves China.  Plenty of folks there using them I'm sure.

Im gonna say too late, but I suppose it would be useful for monarchs. :)

Are the x1 slots notched out at the back for fitting long-slot cards in without tearing anything up? That would be handy as heck.

You need a raisers anyway to put more than 2-3 cards, so it doesn't matter...

Don't need notched 1X slots for 2X+ cards. My 6850 is on a 1X connector on my main computer without a riser.

It's only 4X and 8X slots that need to be open-ended to take 16X cards.

Cant find the price....

That's funny, because every x1 slot I've ever seen had a solid back and every long-slot card I've ever seen was not notched to fit around it. Never seen a long-slot card that would fit in an x1 slot, without modifying one or the other. Any evidence of this in PCIe standards definition?




Right, if you're going to load it up with more than 3 doublewide cards. But if you want exactly two or three doublewide cards, or for any reason more than one directly-mounted long-slot card, kinda SOL.

The lower 1X slot on my mobo is notched out at the back.

My distributor can drop ship these for $ contact me if interested. USA Shipping Only.

May start a group buy for these.

I bought an ASSRock mobo earlier this year.

The first one was DOA, the second one was DOA, and the third one would post hung up all the time while booting 2 different operating systems.

Needless to say, I got my money back after sending the 3rd one back, then I bought an ASUS that has been flawless.

Yeah, I got a very nice little miniITX AsRock - got it because it had a mSATA on the back.  Opened the sealed box, went to put in the CPU - pins in socket totally mashed.  Must have left the factory like that.  Useless.  Thankfully it was from Amazon, so easy returned.

I also went to Asus - nearly every piece of computing equipment I have is Asus now....PC, NAS, router, switch, wireless cards, Bluetooth dongle...all work flawlessly.

I had an Asrock MB for over 2 years. Zero problems, and I mined over 200BTC on it...

200BTC! Can I ask what your set-up is?

if you are thinking about mining Bitcoins with GPUs... forget it! this time is over!

First it was 2x6950 + iGPU on A8-3850, later I upgraded to 2x7970 + 400MH/s Lancelot. Turned off in January, and sold out.

Scored one of the bad boys on Friday! ;D  I'm trying to get 4 cards up and running WITHOUT powered risers (1 direct, 3 1x->16x). If I do manage to burn the board, they have a lot of explaining to do  :P

should be named H61 Pro LTC   ;D
