Although the mining market has cooled, it is still very profitable. Various manufacturers have also tried their best to develop various mining products.
At Computex Taipei, Asustek displayed the just-released H370 Mining Master motherboard and demonstrated a super mining platform based on it.
This mine machine is equipped with up to 20 graphics cards, subject to the driver is already the largest size can be achieved, and can only be composed of 12 A cards and 8 N cards, exactly RX470, respectively, P104 , Are mining dedicated graphics card, no video output interface.
The H370 Mining Master board is different from the general board. It is not equipped with a large number of PCI-E x1 slots. It is used instead. One PCI-E 3.0 x16 and up to 20 USB interfaces, the latter actually take the PCI-E x1 channel, just using the 20 PCI-E channels of the H370 chipset, and then directly connecting the expansion cards through the USB data cable and Graphics card.
Asustek pointed out that this design can simplify the construction process and cost of the mining machine, and it is more conducive to enhancing stability. It can avoid accidental touch and lead to the disconnection of the mine card. The PCI-E x1 channel specification is also reduced to PCI-E 1.0, further ensuring stability. Sex.
have to be aware of is, The PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot shares the bandwidth with the first USB interface and cannot be used at the same time.
Asustek recommends using a PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot to insert a mine card first to check the platform as a whole and insert more graphics cards afterwards. Of course, the PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot and the first USB interface are used. Row.
Other configurations of the miner include: Core i5-8600 processor, custom water-cooled, single ZigZee Trident Z 8GB RAM, A-DATA SP920 256GB SSD, ZTE ToughPower 1500W/Haiyun Prime 1200W Platinum/Cooler Master 1250 Triple Power Supply.
Actually, this is only Asustek's second plate. For the reason why such a fuselage, Asustek's on-site display personnel said that many ASUS motherboards can be directly used to set up a miner, install four to six video cards, to meet the general mining machine needs The problem, and once the mining market has changed, the motherboard can be reused, unlike the special mining board basically scrapped.
