Biostar would be developing a new special motherboard for mining, with twenty-four PCIe x1 ports where special cards that support thirteen graphics each would be connected, making a total of 104 graphics cards!
If we already thought that special motherboards for mining with twelve and thirteen PCI ports seemed to us a real stupid, the latest from Biostar has left us speechless. Apparently the company is working on a special system for mining, which will make a fool of the twelve or thirteen PCIe ports. Specifically, it appears that Biostar is working on a system for a new motherboard that will allow its twelve PCIe x1 slots to be used to connect more than twelve graphics cards. How many more? Well we don't know, but lots more.
The company is working on its own USB riser technology, that plate where the graphics card is punctured, from which a USB 3.0 comes out and through an adapter for PCIe x1, it is connected to this port. We must bear in mind that the motherboard shown in the image is not the TB250-BTC PRO, it is a different model and even more beast. This new motherboard has three PCIe x1 ports per row, which make a total of twenty-four PCIe x1 ports and the most aberration is that each of these special risers designed to be installed in three ports simultaneously, has thirteen USB ports, so Thus, each motherboard would support a whopping 104 graphics cards.
Currently the normal thing is to use one riser per graphic card, although there are systems that allow four of these risers to be connected to a special PCIe x1 card, increasing the possibilities, but we must take into account in this field the limitation of Windows 10 to support more than six graphics, which on Biostar and ASRock boards is solved with a BIOS modification. We imagine that the ASRock motherboard will have a special BIOS and we do not even rule out that some modification for the operating system or some similar extra.
