How are you doing my dear STEEMIANS ?
This is my new post about actual news in Cryptosphere.
Every week i post at least one cryptocurrency related
news post. So, in this post, we will discuss more about
new, cool hardware for crypto mining called Octominer B8Plus 8.
So, there is an interesting new Chinese company called Octominer with main focus on the GPU mining market by offering a specialized mining motherboard for 8 GPU mining rigs.
The Octominer B8PLUS motherboard has 8x full size PCI-E slots spaced decently enough to eliminate the need to use PCI-E riser boards. The manufacturer suggests that the motherboard is suitable for any Nvidia or AMD GPU that is 4.5 cm or thinner, so all 2 slot thickness cards should fit, 2.5 slot cards might also fit, but very tightly and there could be some trouble with cooling them.
Furthermore the motherboard comes with integrated Intel mobile CPU with built-in graphics. The motherboards uses SO-DIMM DDR4 memory and comes with M-SATA slot for an SSD memory and a sATA interface for an external HDD or SSD drive that you need to buy separately of course.
Board specifications
Here are some main Octominer B8PLUS features:
- Motherboard: support 8x PCI-E 16x slots for GPUs
- GPU: Embedded 6th gen Intel Celeron Processor 3855U
- CPU cooler integrated on the board
- Supported GPUs: 8pcs AMD470/480/570/580 or Nvidia P106/P104/1060/1070/1070TI/1080/1080TI
- Memory: Support SO-DIMM DDR4 up to 8GB RAM (Laptop memory)
- Ports: 2x USB, 1x VGA, 1x RJ45 Network
- Power: Support server style power supply and ATX PSU
- Board dimensions: 46 X 18 cm
Price & conclusions
This 8x GPU mining motherboard with integrated CPU
from Octominer is currently priced at USD $199 with
shipping from China (shipping and import taxes and
VAT not included). Shipping is with DHL Express and
should take about 5-7 days according to the website
and cost you $25 USD for most locations, though the
price may vary for some regions.
So, if you are into mining and looking for 8 card solution,
i think, this is something, you deffo should look at. There
are also youtube videos showing how to build mining
rig, so, let me know if you build one with Octominer :) .
