Yesterday, Asus announced a new motherboard called H370 Mining Master. As its name suggests, it was developed specifically for mining cryptocurrencies. In fact, the motherboard sports a whopping 20 PCIe-over-USB ports supporting as many graphics cards! The arrival of cryptocurrency mining has radically changed the PC industry, not just by hiking the price of GPUs (to gamers’ dismay), but also by spurring hardware companies to develop mining-specific equipment. The motherboard should be available in the U.S. by the third quarter of 2018. Its price is as yet unknown.
