ASUS H370 Mining Master motherboard accepts 21 video cards

The mining craze died down a bit in recent months but hardware makers are still rolling out new products for the cryptocurrency crowd. The latest example is the H370 Mining Master from ASUS, this is a motherboard that has one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot plus a total of 20 PCI Express x1 slots in the form of USB 3.0 ports, these are designed to be used in combination with USB 3.1 type-A male-to-male cables which you connect to open-ended PCIe x1 risers.

As a result, you can use this motherboard with a total of 21 video cards. It features an LGA1151 socket, two DDR4 memory slots, two SATA 6Gbps ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 6-channel HD audio, up to six USB 3.0 ports (two via headers), one serial COM header, PS/2, and DVI plus HDMI display outputs. Overall a pretty spartan feature set, with exception of onboard power/reset buttons plus a POST debug display.

Pricing and availability is unknown.

The LGA1151 socket is powered by a simple 4+2 phase VRM. Power is drawn from three 24-pin ATX, and one 8-pin EPS. The CPU socket is wired to two DDR4 DIMM slots, supporting up to 32 GB of dual-channel memory, the x16 slot, and the H370 Express chipset.
