BIOSTAR first and only brand to offer cryp­to mining mother­board lin­e­up for all platforms

May 5^th, 2017 Tai­pei, Tai­wan – BIOSTAR is thril­led to wel­co­me the latest addi­ti­on to its expan­ding lin­e­up of spe­cia­li­zed cryp­to­cur­ren­cy mining mother­board with the intro­duc­tion of the BIOSTAR TB350-BTC. This mother­board sup­ports AMD’s latest AM4 socket desi­gned to work with the latest AMD AM4 APUs. With Bit­co­in mining ret­a­king a more attrac­ti­ve pri­cing late­ly, both old and new miners are still see­king ways to impro­ve the effi­ci­en­cy and per­for­mance of their mining sys­tems. Add to this the addi­ti­on of other cryp­to­cur­ren­cy like Ethe­re­um, Zcash and more which have pro­vi­ded so much more for the mining com­mu­ni­ty to work with. With new GPUs offe­ring more effi­ci­en­cy than pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on, more GPUs can now be uti­li­zed for fas­ter ROI. This trend in uti­li­zing mul­ti­ple VGA cards can cau­se extre­me­ly hot ope­ra­ting con­di­ti­ons which may affect sys­tem sta­bi­li­ty which may lead to ope­ra­ti­on dis­rup­ti­on with break­downs and failures.

With this latest mother­board, BIOSTAR is the first and only brand to offer a com­ple­te cryp­to mining mother­board lin­e­up for any appli­ca­ti­on making it the stron­gest fami­ly of spe­cia­li­zing mining mother­boards out right now. Not to men­ti­on, BIOSTAR TB350-BTC is the first pro­fes­sio­nal cryp­to mining mother­board for AMD AM4 plat­form. This is spe­ci­al­ly desi­gned for AMD Ryzen lovers. They offer a per­for­mance and cost effec­ti­ve solu­ti­on to make cryp­to mining easier for all.

BIOSTAR TB350-BTC with six PCI‑e slots for enthu­si­asts who wish to crea­te an ulti­ma­te mining rig to be loa­ded up with six gra­phics cards to boost up the mining speed for hig­her hash rate and make the mining per­for­mance most effi­ci­ent. The uni­que­ly desi­gned two extra AUX power con­nec­tors sup­port the suf­fi­ci­ent power to enhan­ce the per­for­mance of gra­phics cards for more sta­ble operation.

TB350-BTC is desi­gned to with­stand extre­me ope­ra­ting con­di­ti­ons that can cau­se sta­bi­li­ty issues on tra­di­tio­nal com­pon­ents. The enhan­ced natu­re of the BIOSTAR PRO Series gua­ran­tees its mother­board can endu­re and avo­id issues that can cau­se down­ti­me and pro­fit loss.

The new BIOSTAR TB350-BTC fea­tures sup­port for AMD AM4 pro­ces­sors inclu­ding AMD A‑series APUs. The mother­board will sup­port up to 32GB of DDR4-2667 memo­ry in dual-chan­nel con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on. The board fea­tures full Giga­bit LAN from Real­tek for fas­ter and bet­ter net­work per­for­mance. The BIOSTAR TB350-BTC also fea­tures sup­port for up to six PCI‑e devices allo­wing maxi­mum uti­liza­ti­on of the mother­board for excel­lent ROI per system.

In terms of rear I/O con­nec­ti­vi­ty, the BIOSTAR TB350-BTC has lega­cy PS/2 con­nec­tor sup­port, a sin­gle DVI for video out­put. There’s ple­nty of USB ports in the­re with USB3.1 ports and USB2.0 ports. There’s also the Real­tek GBlan port and audio out­put ports.

Choo­sing Your Hardware

BIOSTAR is the first brand to offer varia­ble plat­form opti­ons for mother­boards desi­gned for cryp­to mining. The new BIOSTAR TB350-BTC will com­pli­ment any mining ope­ra­ti­on perfectly.

There’s a lot to con­sider befo­re get­ting star­ted in set­ting up your bit­co­in mining rig. We high­ly recom­mend start­ing with AMD gra­phics card like the Rade­on RX 470 VGA. After which, other com­pon­ents are cho­sen and the neces­sa­ry parts are rea­dy inclu­ding PCI‑e risers and if you’ll be using around six gra­phics cards, we high­ly recom­mend two sepa­ra­te power sup­pli­es. The BIOSTAR mother­board for mining series fea­tures dedi­ca­ted AUX power con­nec­tor for rein­forced power deli­very for supe­ri­or sys­tem sta­bi­li­ty and enhan­ce GPU performance.
