Gigabyte B250-FinTech 11 + 1 BTC Edition, Intel B250 Motherboard - Socket 1151 [GA-B250-FinTech]

The Gigabyte B250-FinTech thus represents the ideal basis for an energy-efficient and cost-efficient mining rig, which can be used to stably operate up to twelve graphics cards.

The features of the Gigabyte B250-FinTech in the BTC Edition at a glance:

    1 × PCIe (3.0) x16 for high-end GPUs / 11x PCIe (3.0) x1
    Operation of 12 graphics cards via a motherboard
    2x 4-pin Molex & adapter for connecting up to 3 power supplies
    Stable 4 + 2 phase MOSFET voltage converter with heat sink
    6 × USB 3.0 / 6 × USB 2.0 / 6 × SATA 6G
    Special mining mode can be activated via bios

The Gigabyte B250-FinTech in detail

The Gigabyte B250 FinTech ATX motherboard in the Bitcoin Edition has four DIMM slots for DDR4 memory in fast dual-channel mode. The PCIe x16 slot is connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes, and for board and expansion cards, the board has eleven native PCIe (3.0) x1 slots. Native connectivity allows up to 12 Altcoins GPU-mining graphics cards, such as Ethereum, to run without any compatibility issues. In addition, the distribution of PCIe slots has been given sufficient clearance to prevent short circuits when using riser cards.

In addition, this special mining board has an extra-stable power supply, in the form of 4 + 2-phase MOSFET capacitors including heat sink for the CPU and an adapter for connecting up to three power supplies. In addition, power-hungry graphics cards can be supplied with sufficient energy via two 4-pin Molex connectors. Via the front panel switch card with two buttons and LEDs and a mining mode that can be activated via the BIOS, the Mining-Rig can be put into operation very easily and controlled via buttons.

The motherboard provides four USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports on the I / O panel for input devices, headsets, and other gaming peripherals. Data storage in the form of HDDs or SSDs is managed by the Gigabyte B250-FinTech via six SATA-6G ports. The motherboard also offers on-board sound (Realtek ALC887 chipset), as well as an S / PDIF and COM port header internally. There are two ports available for DVI and VGA video output via the CPU's integrated graphics processor.
