ASUS cooked up the B250 Mining Expert for the cryptocurrency mining market. This is world's first single motherboard with support for a whopping 19 video cards! The motherboard features three 24-pin ATX power connectors and has one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot plus 18 PCIe 3.0 x1 slots.

ASUS has even said that with the latest GPU drivers from AMD and NVIDIA, the B250 Mining Expert motherboard will support up to 8 x GPUs in multi-GPU mode. AMD has teased a new driver for later this year which will support 19 graphics cards later this year, but until then you can run 8 x Radeon and 8 x GeForce graphics cards and still hit 16 x graphics cards... a massive achievement.
