With 50 of these boards you could get up to 1.2 TH/s hashrate which does not sound bad at all, if the price is right, however you would need 6500W of power so in terms of performance per watt the Biostar BTC-24GH won’t be interesting at all. As we’ve already said: too little, too late .

If these are cheap people with free power could stand to win.  Otherwise, I hope Biostar didn't mass produce these.

No way this board can be scaled up.

This is a terrible design. Just look at those power connector. Stupid engineering at its best.

THIS ->

"The board itself will consume about 130 W under full load, which is notably less than what 30 HD 7970s will consume... ...This might just make bitcoin mining brutally profitable again..."

6W/GH are brutally profitable
