BIOSTAR Motherboards Could Pay For Themselves, Great for Bitcoin Mining

 

Attention Bitcoin Miners! Biostar has recently served notice of two new motherboards designed specifically for a multi-gpu Bitcoin Mining setup. Biostar wagers that a system built with either of these motherboards will pay for itself in no time.

December 2nd, 2013, Taipei, Taiwan – BIOSTAR has two ATX motherboards  that are perfect for setting up a Bitcoin mining machine. One, based on the  Intel H81 chipset, the Hi-Fi H81 S2 is an Intel socket 1150 board and the  other, the H61B is a socket 1155 board. Together they cover support for Intel 2nd,  3rd and 4th generation Core i7/i5 and i3 processors.

In  the Bitcoin world, a “mining rig” is a computer system used for mining Bitcoins.  It can be built specifically for mining or it could be your everyday computer for  gaming and surfing, and is used to mine only on a part-time basis.

With  the rising price of Bitcoins, now about $1000.00 USD for one Bitcoin, GPU  mining can theoretically be profitable. What you need is a system that can do  enormous amounts of mathematical calculations. The best way to do this is the  GPUs in graphics cards. Motherboards with on-board graphics (also referred to  as integrated graphics) are not as good as a dedicated GPU card. You should  therefore choose a motherboard with multiple PCI slots to fit in 2, 3 or 4 high  powered graphics cards like the Radeon series from AMD.

To  create a dedicated mining machine, getting a value oriented motherboard that  you can load up graphics cards is the ideal strategy. BIOSTAR’s Hi-Fi H81 S2 and H61B with PCI-E Gen 3.0 are perfect choices. PCI-E 3.0 is the next  evolution of the ubiquitous and general-purpose PCI Express I/O standard and is  perfect for high-end AMD or nVidia graphics cards.

These  boards will proudly show off BIOSTAR’s in-house technology, such as audio and power regulation upgrades such as Hi-Fi Power  and Hi-Fi AMP. The video output includes HDMI with HDCP which allows full video  & audio support via standard DVI output.
