Because of such boards, (also) VGA is a shortcoming
GIGABYTE's new brainchild, the B250-FinTech motherboard, accepts no less than 12 graphics cards, so it's not exactly for HTPCs.
Despite the ever-gathering dark clouds, the company has not lost confidence in mining, as evidenced by this recently released plank. Equipped with 12 native PCIe slots, the solution naturally offers brutal computing power if, miraculously, we can get so many mining-capable video cards. GIGABYTE has also made various optimizations in the BIOS to improve energy efficiency, stability and compatibility, which can be activated with one click before booting - “miner mode”.
Based on the back row of connectors, we could also think of it as an ordinary board.
A tiny but all the more pleasant attention is the front panel control panel; the tool replaces the usual buttons (POWER, RESET), which can still come in handy with an open miner rack.
Powering the motherboard also holds interesting draws. The B250-FinTech comes with a handy 24-pin, so-called 3-in-1 adapter, so you don’t have to turn on the secondary and tertiary power supplies manually because these will be set up automatically by the primary PSU. Another stability factor is the two molex connectors.
The stuff has already appeared on the domestic market, the price is around 60 forints. This is actually a friendly amount compared to what the dozens of graphics controllers will cost.
