ASRock had one of the busier booths at Computex this year, with a ton of new HEDT motherboards on show, on top of a focus on small form factor systems and even Bitcoin mining.Obviously with the launch of X299, there were a lot of motherboards on show at ASRock’s booth, which you can see in the gallery above.There are many different gaming-oriented boards, along with the return of the Taichi board, an OC board and a Mini-ITX.The Taichi board is particularly interesting with triple M.2 slots that support RAID, and 13 total power phases and a 12-phase design for the CPU.The OC board has fewer M.2 ports but comes with extra 4-pin CPU power to benefit heavy overclockers.There is also additional power for PCIe near the 24-pin connector.Beyond that, the PCIe slot layout appears to be friendly for quad-GPU setups, which could make this a good pick for benchmarks.Finally, the X299 Mini-ITX board uses a full size LGA 2066 socket, rather than a narrow version like the previous generation X99E-ITX motherboard.

It carries room for quad-channel SODIMM memory with support for speeds of up to 3200MHz.So far, this is the only mini-ITX X299 motherboard around for the HEDT market.In the gallery above you will also notice some X399 versions of the ‘Pro Gaming’ and ‘Taichi’ motherboards.These are largely the same as their Intel X299 counterparts but the Taichi does lack 10GbE.The Pro Gaming board also carries an additional four pin CPU power as Threadripper is expected to use up to 200W when overclocked.ASRock is also helping lead the charge on X370 Mini-ITX boards for AMD’s new Ryzen processors.So if any of you are looking to build an ITX AMD-based system, there are more options coming our way this year.ASRock also showed a new Mini-STX system at Computex.This is big news as it supports the Intel Core i7-7700K in such a small form factor.There is dual channel memory support with speeds up to 3200MHz.There are also slots for three M.2 SSDs and M.2 WiFi, alongside 5Gbps Type-C USB and a laptop-style SATA connection.

There is no Thunderbolt support at this time but we may possibly see a version with it in the future.There is an MXM slot for installing a graphics card, the system we saw on display used a GTX 1080.This Z270 Mini-STX board makes for a perfect pairing with the ASRock DeskMini, which is a tiny powerhouse featuring a GTX 1080.The case has around a 2 litre capacity.We checked the GTX 1080 temperatures with the system running TimeSpy and saw a maximum temperature of 76 degrees celsius, so it should be able to handle gaming no problem.bitcoin billionaire iap crackerThe last note for ASRock’s booth is Bitcoin mining.hobo nickels bitcoinThere are a few new boards on the way focussing purely on mining crypto-currency, which appears to be making a bit of a comeback at the moment.heeft bitcoin minen zin

KitGuru Says: The ASRock booth was very busy this year, which was good to see.Is there anything here that caught your eye?With boutique PC companies hopping on the cryptocurrency mining trend -- iBuyPower recently released the CoinMine desktop lineup for the mining of Bitcoins, Litecoin, and the like -- it should come as no surprise that other DIY operations also want to get into the act.Red Harbinger is one of them, coming up with a unique product that it hopes to get off the ground through crowdfunding.bitcoin jacksonville flThe company has created Dopamine, which it's hailing as the first computer chassis specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining.sam kaddoura bitcoinAs you can see from the image above, Dopamine differs from a typical PC chassis in a couple of respects.sam kaddoura bitcoin

Most notably, it has room for up to six graphics cards -- high-end video boards like the AMD Radeon R290X are in short supply due to their ability to perform the calculations necessary to mine coins at an efficient clip.Needless to say, a half-dozen graphics cards running at full tilt constantly will throw off a huge amount of heat, which is why the Dopamine is an open-air case.It also includes three fan mounts (for 120mm/140mm fans) on the bottom of the case to assist in circulating airflow.Dopamine can additionally handle two power supply units and a range of motherboard form factors (from mini-ITX to extended ATX).Because mining is still a niche endeavor, Red Harbinger is attempting to bring it to market through crowdfunding site Indiegogo.Thus far, it's earned about $4,800 toward its $20,000 goal, though it has another six weeks before the funding campaign deadline ends.A contribution of $200 gets you a case in your choice of black or white  -- add $50 for shipping outside of the U.S.

If you don't want to build your Dopamine system yourself, Red Harbinger offers a (very pricey) option for a fully configured rig.For $4,999, you can get a Dopamine equipped with motherboard, processor, a pair of power supplies, a trio of fans, and six GPUs.The specific components aren't yet listed, but you will get to customize the color of the chassis.Projected delivery dates for Dopamine shipments (presuming the necessary funding level is reached) are July and August 2014.BIOSTAR Intros a Pair of AM4 Motherboards for Bitcoin Mining Rigs BIOSTAR expanded its niche line of motherboards for Bitcoin-mining rigs, with two boards for the socket AM4 platform, the TA320-BTC, and the TB350-BTC.These boards feature a minimalist layout so you can drop in as many PCI-Express GPU or ASIC Bitcoin-mining cards as possible.As their names suggest, the TA320-BTC is based on the entry-level AMD A320 chipset, and the TB350-BTC the mid-range AMD B350.Both boards share an identical PCB, and barring for some chipset-level features, their feature-sets are largely identical.
