You can tell its a mining mobo as it has the word: BTC, which stands for Bitcoin!
These mobo offers 6 PCIE slots to run six GPUs, on socket LGA 1150 (i7-4790)
Finally I get a proper mining mobo

Re: Finally I get a proper mining mobo
Hi Chris
For a recent mobo, I'm surprised to see that it has a serial port and a 25 pin parallel port...I thought those had been consigned to the "old tech" junk pile...!!

Re: Finally I get a proper mining mobo
Yeah it is a bit strange especially the parallel port; perhaps they own shares in a company that still makes and sells dot matrix printers!

Just to update about this mobo, it worked fine until Windows did a mandatory update at which point it knocked out CUDA. So in the end had to RMA/Return it back to Amazon.

Never discount the Chinese either - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-46150107
A Chinese headmaster has been fired after a secret stack of crypto-currency mining machines was found connected to his school's electricity supply.
