ASUS dropped its hat into the DIY crypto-currency mining hardware craze introduction the H370 Mining Master motherboard. This ATX form-factor motherboard comes with twenty USB 3.1 Type-A ports and one PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot.
The ASUS H370 Mining Master comes with no less than 20 USB 3.1 Type-A ports and one single PCI-Express x16 slot. The USB ports can be used to wire a graphics card with a male-to-male cable into open-ended PCIe x1 risers. In this way you can save a lot of space and plug several graphics cards. Apart from that, this board is based on Intel's H370 chipset, which basically marks the mid-range level when it comes chipzilla's 300 series offerings.
The rather odd feature list doesn't just stop with the number USB 3.1 Type-A ports. On the right hand side of the board there are three ATX power connectors for additional delivery of juice to the graphics department. Other than that there is a rather unsuspicious CPU power design featuring six phases, while the memory gets backed by one phase.
So far ASUS has not revealed details on pricing and availability on their H370 Mining but we are sure we will know more during next weeks.
