ASRock To Offer H110 Pro BTC+ Mining Motherboard for 13 GPUs

That's a new one ... ASRock will be releasing H110 Pro BTC+, which has 13 PCIe x1 slots for GPU. This board can mix AMD and Nvidia GPUs and the board has been fitted with extra Molex power connectors to add more power to the PCie slots. 

You will notice black and white PCIe connectors. The full size one is PCIe x16 gen, the rest is PCIe 2.0 x1. You can install just two DIMM slots with up-to 32GB of memory (DDR4) as well as an M2 SSD slot. There are 4x SATA 6 Gb/s. Gigabit Ethernet comes from the Intel I219V and listening to audio while mining apparently also was need as a Realtek ALC887-codec has been embedded. 

  • ASRock Super Alloy
  • Supports 7th and 6th Generation Intel Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium/CeleronProcessors
  • Supports DDR4 2400/2133
  • 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 12 PCIe 2.0 x1
  • Graphics Output: DVI-D
  • 7.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC887 Audio Codec), ELNA Audio Caps
  • 4 SATA3, 1 M.2 (SATA3)
  • 4 USB 3.0 (2 Front, 2 Rear)
  • Intel Gigabit LAN
  • Onboard Power On / Reset Button

Some of those 1x ports will allow cards with more then 1x to work, while others will not...why? I don't know if any GPU that uses 1x, and though i understand that mining doesn't really care about bandwidth, that's not the issue. If there no cards that use 1x, then how could it hold 13 GPUs?

At best, as far as i can see, it can hold 6 GPUs, and 7 1x random cards of some sort (assuming everything uses a single-slot cooler)

If anyone is confused what i am talking about, take a close look at the white PCI-express 1x ports, which are not open at the end, compared to the black PCI-Express 1x ports, which are open at the end.

Basically this:



vs this



I guess, maybe they expect everyone to use the black ports normally, while using the white ports with PCI-Express extensions and mount them somewhere else? (like normal mining machines?)

Also, is there a reason they use old molex connectors for additional PCI-Express power, rather then a sata power connector?

Doesn't matter when you use PCIe raisers.

And to your 2nd question, the molex power variant is the old on. Newer PCIe rasiers use Sata or usb3.0 cable for power transfer only.

BLEH!

Molex can deliver more power, I believe.

Thats what i said at the bottom, granted though i still things thats a bit odd to "expect" people to use risers on a motherboard, and therefore prevent people from using it directly on the motherboard (though that would be a massive heat built up)

Yeah i know people who would buy this are almost guaranteed to use risers. I understand that. But i just don't understand the why asrock would, essentially, "force" people to use risers, rather then just put all the same type of PCI-Express 1x slot with a notch in it to allow GPUs

Molex can deliver more power, I believe.

That makes sense.
