With one of those in-house mining enthusiasts leading the design, we developed the original B250 Mining Expert with support for up to 19 individual GPUs. The board was so ahead of its time that miners couldn’t fully exploit it at first. We had to work with AMD to remove restrictions on the number of Radeons capable of running in parallel before miners were able to realize the board’s potential.

This will probably hold for the new MB too. Bleeding edge motherboard...

does that mean we don't need mining gpu past 13?   that could be very interesting

The disappointing thing about the B250 is the requirement to use the weird mining P104 cards in order to get past 13 GPUs setup.  This new motherboard sounds cool with the USB connections but will we still be required to have "mining cards" to reach capacity?  Hope to not be disappointed... again

Yea don't understand why they don't have at least 16 AMD cards on one board...the AMD driver supports that currently (at least for linux) and had it working on a x170 board a year ago...
