i just saw this also on vidcardz lol wich system will support this many gpus i bet you need more than a celeron and a bunch of ram and if one gpu fails whole system could freeze in my eyes its not a so good idea but who knows maybe this can be the future of mining we will see...

I don't think it is meant for GPUs, but for those USB controllers. Are there PCI-E x1 graphic cards anyway?

Yeah no thanks. That is wayyyy to dense. The price of the mobo/CPU/RAM combo do not outweigh the downtime that any failure that might happen to that set up.

104 cards down for even 15 minutes is wayyyy more than the downtime of 8-10 for an hour.

This looks like over kill just setting up that many cards with cables and everything would be a nightmare. If you have everything running on 1 board and it has a hiccup which of course will happen everything goes down . Better to have multiple units running maybe 20 gpu max per board, but 104 is too much on 1 board. Every pc builder knows computers have problems all the time. This would only be good for a large mining farm,but even then its risky.

Standard risers length and standard cpu & mem config even standard os will not be enough for such configuration. I think this is just a demo for untested config opportunites. I doubt anyone will use this in production environments.

Crazy haha!
i have one of those boards hashing as we type, so i would definitely follow the progress of this hehe
Honestly, if i could put a splitter on EACH of the slots it has now even i would be more than satisfied, damn, here i thought it having 12 slots built in was enough... Cheesy

USB PORTS not PCI-E ports - can't viably run GPUs from those slots anyway on a practical basis.

 This is NOT intended for "mining" usage, except perhaps for BURST or one of the "distributed storage" type coins like STORJ.

I think it's meant for USB Asic Bitcoin Miner farms, like this:

I don't think that's correct, the second image looks like they're using these boards: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/282605897945
which do support GPUs in x1 mode using a PCIe Switch chip such as http://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Broadcom-Avago/PEX8724-CA80BC-G/

of course this is for gpu mining your risers are also connected via usb or not ? you get your board and put the risers direct into the usbs there thats what i understand from that... usb ports you dont need special nuw hardware to get 104 usb ports just put usb hub on usb hub till you get the needed usb ports...

I don't think a single board/processor would manage these many GPUs. Don't know what those USB risers are connected for but a single motherboard would not be able to supply enough electricity for that many GPUs if no external power is connected.

Looks good. But I do this in the other direction.

I like 3 and 4 cards rigs not 12 24 36 or 100!

To me the ideal board will be

- 8-12 Pcie slots
- On board power on/off switch
- Dual ATX power input (like asus's 19 gpu board, but 2 instead of 3)
- One SATA m2 ssd slot
- Warning lights beside each Pcie-slot to aid in trouble shooting
- Temperature sensors within the board
- Low cost

This mobo is too much
