ASRock Motherboard ATX DDR3 1066 LGA 1150 H81 PRO BTC

I have built quite a few mining rigs now with this board. They all perform extremely well and can take six video cards with ease. I did have one board that had problems out of the box, but this happens with all brands I use from time to time. This is a solid performer.

BTC mining rig setup with 6 - Sapphire 270's and had absolutely zero issues with stability. Fantastic board and for seventy bones (don't get hosed buying one for more than that) - couldn't have asked for anything more.

Yes it will work and mine, even thought difficulty is going through the roof but it will get the job done. The one I received had some pins on the CPU bent but that was an issue that happens once in a blue moon so don't let that turn you off to this MB. I ended up returning it and buying an Asus, Im glad I did, $20 extra and I get a proper board with two PCI x16 slots which might no do you much benefit if your just mining but if you decide not to mine at least you have a MB that has an array of slots where you can plug whatever you like,

Board works great, can use standard powered USB 3.0 risers without having to plug power into the board. All 6 750Ti's work amazing. Running board for 2 weeks now still running strong on Xubuntu.

If you are looking to mine/game/anything, do NOT buy this product. I am beyond impressed at ASRock's ability to manufacture such a dismal product - and on top of this, to pair a terrible technical service with it.I bought this board around August and built a whole PC on top of it... once I was finished, I found out the PC would not work and after diagnosing all the components, the only true candidate of being faulty/damaged was this ASRock motherboard. Thus, I had to disassemble the whole PC again (as the motherboard had gone on the bottom) which was very time-consuming and difficult. I called ASRock technical services and they required I buy a small speaker (worth only 4 or 5 dollars but took 3 days to get shipped) so I lost a lot of time just on the initial request for help. Once I finally received the speaker, the diagnosis with the technician was not sure so I had to start setting up an RMA - I did not have much of a problem at first as it seemed ASRock would cover any faulty component... turns out this is completely FALSE: you have to pay for expensive shipping to their facility in California (one-way albeit but still) - then you have to wait about two weeks for their engineers to call you with a diagnosis - turns out my motherboard had a bent pin around the CPU - I was surprised to find this out but I was so much in a hurry to get my motherboard back that I did not care and thought they would simply replace it (because of their warranty policy) but it turns out bent pins are not covered under their warranty (?????) and I had to pay an extra 50 dollars for them to replace the board - all this time, the customer service representative would answer my questions regarding this transaction in short, cryptic and badly written (spelling AND grammar-wise) emails. They made me send 50 dollars to a random PayPal account and told me they could only ship the new board until the payment was processed completely, which was about another 4 business days.So after all this idiotic interactions, bad customer service, lagging technician service, slow delivery - I finally get my replacement board - turns out (after building the whole PC on top of it again) it is FAULTY AGAIN!!I am so tired of ASRock apparent mediocrity and I will for sure never deal with them again. I would go for another RMA and all but I simply do not have the time or energy to do so - and all that to just get another worthless ASRock motherboard? No thank you. Giving my business to another motherboard manufacturer.So to recap - do NOT buy their products as they are dismal all around.

I would do some research and try to buy a different board other than this. It's great it theory but I have 3 of these and all sorts of weird issues. Some PCI-E x1 slots act funny and won't work. Low build quality as well. Google problems with this board and you'll see a bunch of them.

For my second pc building was a nice option cheap and great performance

I purchased this motherboard and when it arrived upon removing the lid to install my CPU I noticed that one out of the many thousands of tiny pins in the socket 1150 was longer than the rest of them. Obviously this will never function. Unfortunatley I left it in a box and shelfed for a while before getting around to using it because I keep an inventory of motherboards. I'm glad I only purchased one of these because they are very cheaply made. Also, when using powered risers the on board molex connector is not nesscerry and actually costs you extra system power overhead. I believe this item has since been discontinued.
