Asus have announced this monster of a MB. Although current Drivers in Windows only allow 8 Cards but Linux would allow more.
Looks Awesome! Love the Triple ATX PSU support!

Software is my biggest worry with this thing as we'd likely need new drivers and such to take advantage of all the ports but hey, at least this will help save a bit of money on motherboards, memory and storage. Hopefully these won't be price gouged when they come out. I love the no-frills design on it.

Wow, this is a cool mobo. I read through the article and it seems like an amazing mobo for mining. But I don't quite understand about the value "7-8" "5-8" in the chart of "Quantity of graphics card for mining". Can someone explain it?

Because the AMD or Nvidia Driver limits you to 8 Cards.
So if you want to add 13 cards according to them you should add 8 of one type and 5 of the other due to the driver limitation of 8.

Or use a Linux based OS. Lot's of videos on Youtube with 13+ AMD or Nvidia GPU's running under smOS or ethOS.

Hopefully Linux drivers get updated for the DAG issue.  Limit of 8 sucks but Newegg has a limit of 1,2 or 5 if you're lucky so there is that

So, this limitation on windows driver only, right? Linux should not have any problem to add 19 same gpu type, right?

This is the mobo that I put in my second mining rig list that I plan to build in future. Asrock H110 BTC Pro+ also good at 13 pci-e slots.

Can i mine using Asus Laptop? Some said it's not allowed on laptop coz drive might break but some say it can be. So i'm a bit confused if it is okay to mine using a laptop.

WHERE can I buy one?

WHERE can I buy one?

Still in experimental stage..

[igotek]

I m using 9 NVIDIA GTX1060 3GB on the mb.

NO
 NEVER
This will make your laptop melt of heat with no profitable yield
mining needs strong GPU's  even 1 GPU not enough so what you think of mobile built in GPU??

You always can do so with mining by using your laptop, but it is not advisable because of the heat generated by laptop might damaged your laptop. Actually a laptop does not design for mining purpose, a desktop also does not design for mining too, that's why all mining rigs are opened air.
