Being that many people are still building their own crypto-currency mining rigs it is expected that we would see various mining boards shown off at Computex 2018. Well it looks like ASRock has a very interesting solution in their J3455 Pro BTC+ Mining Motherboard, which was on display at the show.
ASUS has just introduced one of its first crypto-currency mining motherboards based on Intel's 300-series chipset platform. This is great news for miners as cheaper Pentium Gold and Celeron processors for this platform are now available. The board is the H370 Mining Master and will put out 20 PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes as x1 slots.

It seems that potentially thousands of websites run by U.S. and UK government agencies were infected Sunday with malware that caused visitors to secretly mine cryptocurrency. Government websites are already known for being slow and having horrible out-dated web design standards, and now they are embedded with crypto-mining malware that slows things down even more.
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, presents the new B250-FinTech motherboard based on the Intel B250 Chipset. Featuring GIGABYTE Ultra Durable components and a native 12 PCIe slot configuration, this new crypto mining focused motherboard maximizes efficiency and yield potential for miners.
