Shame on you ASRock makes many different "mining' specific motherboards. The Latest. Asrocks H110 Pro BTC+ with 13, THIRTEEN, PCIe slots. 1 x16 and 12 x1's. http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/H110%20Pro%20BTC+/index.asp With an estimated street price of $150.00USD and mining specific, it really isn't worth monkeying around with an enthusiast desktop/gaming board. AB350 Gaming K4 - ~$100.00USD H110 Pro BTC+ - ~$150.00USD That's what I'm talkin' about. An extra ~$50.00 for a built from the ground up mining board and BIOS. Plus 3 additional power connections to keep all the lanes/slots powered. Yea, it might take an extra week and a half to "mine' that $50 dollar bill back on ROI, but far far less trouble and headaches. Never mind you'd be getting the ultimate in expandabilit

Shame on me ? the best of !      

Look at carefully the picture of the Bioster motherboard : it adds a pair of 12V four-pin AUX power connectors that the AB350 Gaming K4 doesn't have.

So I repeat : he did the wrong choice.

Maybe he doesn't know that motherboards specifically designed for mining exist ?
Or maybe simply he tried ...

His choice.

But perhaps now, he will buy a dedicated motherboard (Asrock, Biostar or what he likes...)
