BIOSTAR Announces the TB150 PRO Motherboard Designed for Professional Mining
BIOSTAR proudly announces its latest product to join the BIOSTAR PRO series of motherboards, the BIOSTAR TB150 PRO designed to be the most stable and durable foundation for cryptocurrency mining. The new BIOSTAR PRO series focuses in these key aspects and adopting it to cryptocurrency mining reduces potential risk in downtime caused by maintenance issues stemming from unstable motherboards due to extended usage. The BIOSTAR TB150 PRO addresses these issues by utilizing BIOSTAR's PRO series advantage.
Crypto-currency mining like Bitcoin and other popular cryptocurrency require dedicating a system that can run for long periods of hours under stress which can easily deteriorate motherboard components. With BIOSTAR PRO series motherboard, this deterioration is slowed down and rate is slowed down allowing lesser maintenance cost which gives you the benefit of improved ROI. BIOSTAR achieves this by using its expertise in developing high-endurance and stable components for this application.
The BIOSTAR TB150 PRO supports the latest 6th-generation Intel Core processors and uses the B150 chipset supporting DDR4-2133 and DDR4-1866 memory modules of up to 32GB capacity. The board integrates core features from the BIOSTAR PRO series the Tough Power Enhanced power designed for improved stability and AudioArt capacitors that deliver an incredible listening experience versus same-class motherboards.
As a PRO series motherboard, the BIOSTAR TB150 PRO takes stability to the next level with numerous techonologies to reduce the risk of wear and tear on the motherboard especially in cryptocurrency mining and other high-stress workloads.
BIOSTAR PRO Tough Power Enhanced feature gives the BIOSTAR TB150 Pro superb stability, enduring high-current. In mining, this easily enhances the reliability of the motherboard in prolonged use with little maintenance. Reducing cost to maintain, helping to improve ROI.
For general usage, the Audio Art capacitors enhances the sound quality of the BIOSTAR TB150 PRO, making it a great multi-purpose machine for both work and entertainment.
MSRP: USD $79.99.

Someone must've forgot to inform them that miners no longer use PCIe (they are standalone) and you can make no money with this, giving it almost 0 market...
They either missed the bus with this one, or got on the short one for the long haul...
Thats a missed opportunity :)
This horse is dead, Biostar. Please stop beating it.
With the price increase as of late (currently at $576) it could be worth it again. Hell, it was worth it at $500 in 2014... I pulled in $300 month net profits with just a few cards (290/290x)...
Also, Bitcoin has half the reward now, and the price hasn't increased since then, it's dropped.It'll always be going on. Going on PC's, it is not.
6 cards per system is pretty common for milk crate/custom frame builds.
bitcoin on gpus is long past but there are plenty of alt coins that use gpus.
the amd 4x0 and nvidia 10x0 series both do well at decent efficiency. the amd 2x0 and 3x0 also hash well but use more power to do it.
lots of folks run 6 gpu systems so i wonder why this board only has 5 slots. its like a step backwards, the previous btc pro board had 6 pcie slots.
but i agree, starting from scratch is risky unless you have a use for the cards when they cant turn a profit any more. i have a couple 390s and a 380 mining but they also are for gaming.
