After the production of the legendary ASRock H61- and H81-Pro BTC+ mining mainboards was discontinued some time ago, ASRock surprised now with a successor of these boards at Computex 2017: the brand-new ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ is an ATX mainboard with Intel H110 chipset and LGA 1151 socket for Skylake CPUs. Eye-catcher are the 13 (!) PCI-Express slots (1 PCIe x16 and 12 PCIe x1) which offers cryptocurrency miners the possibility to merge e.g. two separate 6-card mining RIGs to one single RIG. The advantages are obvious - you can stint one operating system, mainboard, CPU+cooler/fan, hard disk and of course their required space, wiring, heat generation and power consumption.
The current AMD Windows driver supports only up to eight GPUs. This should be also the reason why the above H110 Pro BTC+ (Windows) demonstration system at Computex uses only these eight graphics cards. According to the mainboard manufacturer, AMD is already working on a driver update which allows to use all 13 GPUs within one system. With Linux operating system this should be realizable from the outset, because here it's possible to remove 8-GPU limit at OpenCL driver manually.
Furthermore the board is equipped with two DDR4 RAM-slots, a single M.2 port and four SATA3 ports. Intel Gigabit Ethernet and DVI+HDMI video outputs for the Intel iGPU are also available. According to ASRock, the H110 Pro BTC+ should be available between end of August and beginning of September at a price range from 100 to 150 US$. Please note that date and pricemark aren't officially confirmed by ASRock right now. However, this new specialized mainboard should set new standards for all those who want to use more than one ordinary 6-card mining RIG.
