Mining King

Pros: -If you are a mining newbie or an expert, this is a rock solid motherboard - Eliminates the need of chaining power supplies - plenty of PCIE slots At first I had a scare that the motherboard was DOA. I got really upset and put everything back in the package for an RMA only to find out all these boards were sold out. So as a last ditch effort, I tried to assemble everything again and because the Asus supreme over lords were watching over me, the mobo posted and I was ready to freaking rock!
Cons: It's mid November at the time of this review and the alleged Q4 update to allow "unlimited" number of GPUs has yet to be announced. There worlds smallest violin is out there somewhere.
Overall Review: Asus I hate you for never giving me my rebates, but your products are pretty and amazing so I guess you can have my money.
Eh

Pros: Large Space Great amount of fans Nice HD bays Solid build quality
Cons: Fans die out within a year
Amazing Mining Mobo

Pros: A lot of stupid people try to use technology and fail. Don't listen to them. This mother board is great out the box. Only thing you need to do is enable 4G decoding and change PCIE to Gen 1. (from my experience). I am still using onbaord Graphics to make sure all my graphics cards are uninterrupted to mine away. - Cost Effective - Ease of Use - Good PCIE Spacing
Cons: - I wish more mining Mobos added 2 or 3 x ATX 24 PIN Headers to avoid using aftermarket PSU jumpers Food for though, but that's why Asus B250 mining Expert is still the king in my book
Overall Review: You don't need to install windows in any fancy fashion. Load your bootable USB, install on SSD, if you are using 4GB of RAM I suggest changing your page file to 60GB (on a 120GB SSD) and I am able to run 12 cards 8x Nvidia GTX 1070TI and 4 RX VEGA 64 no problem. BEGONE NAYSAYERS! Happy Hashing
Amazing Cheap Why Look Elsewhere?

Pros: -Easy to set up -Easy Bios -Works out the box (mine shipped with BIOS V F21 Enabled 'Above 4G Decoding' and ready to 6 gpu mine GTX01080s like a champ) -Generously budget friendly
Cons: -None... Seriously
Overall Review: I run a: Kaby Lake G3930 Processor 4GB (single stick) DDR4 RAM 120GB Kingston SSD (windows 10 pro) EVGA 850 GQ + EVGA 650 GQ It just works, if you are a miner or just getting into the scene, seriously look no further. I hope they come out with one with 8 for a slightly higher premium... !
Best Tech at the Perfect Price

Pros: Easy to install Solid sturdy piping, some people think it's stiff however, I really appreciate the firmness RGB Keeps the CPU at roughly 32 C degrees idle (room temp roughly 70 F Under load 3D 1080 gaming on an i76700k 43C same room temp BEST WARRANTY EVERY? - If it leaks all parts are covered?! - 5 Eggs Corsair I got it for an unheard of 99$ no rebate nonsense so I hit the BUY NOW asap.
Cons: I wish to see software integration with Asus. I run a complete ROG setup and it's a shame that I have to download 3 different tools (one of which is corsair) to control different stuff.
Overall Review: Fans can be extremely loud, however just throttle them down and you can barely notice them. Slight buzz depending on how close it is ( mine is to right right side of me on top of my desk )
Underestimated

Pros: Aggressive cooler Very quiet Pretty colors? + 1 EGG? All joking aside, this is an absolute power packed cooler. it fit snug in my Mid Tower case and is the most awesome cooler I have owned. I was looking to spend close to 50$ for a cooler and I am so very surprised that this little guy can keep my i5 4690K running at MAX 43 Degrees Celsius under heavy load. It's phenomenal and a great purchase on my part.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Easy Install A little bulky Make sure you have room for the huge heat-sink. DON'T OVER THINK THIS JUST BUY IT!!!
