There is a similar motherboard being offered in China under Onda brand (D1800-BTC) with an already integrated CPU and only 6 additional power connectors (3 Molex + 3 Sata). Why 16 6-Pin connectors are required to run the board from Colorful is at the moment beyond my understanding. Probably they are meant to be used with the GPUs similar to the ones being used in PandaMiner.
