Hello!
I'm looking to buy a BIOSTAR TB250-BTC LGA 1151 Intel B250 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboards - Intel, but I would like to know if anyone made it works without any modding of the mobo ?
Thank you very much!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I have not seen them in stock to purchase yet. Did you find yours in the US?
I have it's predecessor, the TB85 from Biostar and it has been good to me in the ~6 weeks I have had it mining.

NewEgg had them for about a half of day, I had one in my cart and was specing out the rest of the order and it was sold out by the time I went to checkout. They did have a 1 per customer limit for the brief time it was listed, I suspect to maybe gauge interest. Seeing they sold out so fast, hoping they get more in soon. Here is the link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138449

Hey guys,
So far we are having a lot of problems with them. It can only detect 4 GPUs, but we are trying other things to see.
I also saw some complaints about these supporting only 4 GPUs.
I will update my post later with our results, but so far it's shit.

Did you follow the guide at biostar website? If you are using windows 7 it wont work for 6 gpus, must be windows 10. http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/support/faq_content.php?S_ID=768

I ran 6 gpu on this board with the above tweaks (Win10) and it runs great! I am now running 5 gpu systems in hopes of better cooling -- it's still a great board. There are better/cheaper CPU's. I was only able to get one so far.

The 4 GPU limit appears to be associated with kabylake CPUs.
Skylake should work fine with more GPUs.

I don't think that's true. I run my TB250-BTC boards with Intel G4560 and G3930 with 6 GPUs, and I believe they are both kabylake CPUs.

Interesting...It must be limited to specific motherboards or cpu's then.
On a side note, all MSI "PRO series" boards should have a bios settings for crypto mining...they have become aware.
