BIOSTAR Offers Intel Crypto Mining Motherboards - Full ethOS Mining OS Support

Raevenlord · Aug 20, 2017

BIOSTAR proudly announces an exclusive partnership with ethOS, a 64-bit Linux OS; giving miners the simplest possible way to set up a mining rig. This comes as great news for anyone who wanted to dabble with mining, but was not sure how. With the ethOS mining OS, there is no need to install drivers, configure Windows or compile software, while BIOSTAR crypto mining motherboards are tried and tested with the ethOS mining OS, making it as simple as boot and mine. Get ready to collect your Ethereum, Zcash, Monero and many other gpu-minable coins.

BIOSTAR Mining Boards with Intel B250, B85 and H81 Chipsets
BIOSTAR crypto mining motherboards (including previous generation chipsets in B85 and H81) continue to win high praises for easy-to-use, long-term stability under heavy usage and high return on investment. BIOSTAR mining boards with Intel chipsets supports 12 to 6 graphics cards, the models currently available are: BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO, BIOSTAR TB250-BTC+, BIOSTAR TB250-BTC, BIOSTAR TB85 and BIOSTAR H81A. Whether you are a pro, mainstream or newbie to mining, one of these will fit the bill.

The BIOSTAR boards are ethOS verified to ensure that your build is good to go. Take a look at the screenshots from the maximum of 12 x AMD or Nvidia graphic card setups on a BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO as examples.

A quick comparison of best setups (until the upcoming multi-port mining card is available) broken down by cost and daily net income to help decide the hardware setup you choose to start mining.

As it seems to me, things have gone the wrong way in the industry, all as bud-something obsessed with crypto mining maniacs

Fabio Bologna · Aug 20, 2017

To me this board isn't just for crypto mining... plop in a bunch of pcie gigabit or even infiniband network cards, a fresh install of pfSense and make a gargantuan router! XD heck 1x pci-e 3.0 lane is about 950MBytes/s, 10Gbps ethernet is about 1.25GBytes/s... if they only made half pcie sockets and made them 4x ditching even the 16x at the top... oh god that would be a silly OP router...

BIOSTAR has been doing these type of boards since WAY before mining was mainstream.

And crypto miners aren't "maniacs." They are people, like you and me.

It's not really a pyramid scheme anymore when it's used to buy and sell things daily.

At once it is visible, you are engaged in it (crypto miner)

As soon as the Governments will start to regulate this officially in order to prevent the huge callous tax evasions and money laundries, among other things, is game over.

Wrong. Former miner, haven't mined in nearly 4 years, as is well established on these forums. There are many non-miners who use crypto as well.

Already happened at least in the US. Coinbase reports to the IRS. No game over.

There are already benchmarks for this out. You just need to look.

Most people that complain about miners are too poor to afford more than 1 graphics card so they complain about miners taking all of the stock.

ppn · Aug 21, 2017

Oh I cant wait for the block time to slow down so I can buy GFX card at launch prices.
I can afford 2 cards, but not at foolish prices. But I really cant wait. I'm getting too old for this.

Block time will be 40 sec in 3 months from now currently at 25 sec any minute now. same effect as exchange rate dropping to 1/2.
