[cryptomonitor NEWS] Octominer B8Plus for GPU mining (HOT)
How are you doing my dear STEEMIANS ?
This is my new post about actual news in Cryptosphere.
Every week i post at least one cryptocurrency related
news post. So, in this post, we will discuss more about
new, cool hardware for crypto mining called Octominer B8Plus 8.
So, there is an interesting new Chinese company called Octominer with main focus on the GPU mining market by offering a specialized mining motherboard for 8 GPU mining rigs.
The Octominer B8PLUS motherboard has 8x full size PCI-E slots spaced decently enough to eliminate the need to use PCI-E riser boards. The manufacturer suggests that the motherboard is suitable for any Nvidia or AMD GPU that is 4.5 cm or thinner, so all 2 slot thickness cards should fit, 2.5 slot cards might also fit, but very tightly and there could be some trouble with cooling them.
Furthermore the motherboard comes with integrated Intel mobile CPU with built-in graphics. The motherboards uses SO-DIMM DDR4 memory and comes with M-SATA slot for an SSD memory and a sATA interface for an external HDD or SSD drive that you need to buy separately of course.
Board specifications
Here are some main Octominer B8PLUS features:
- Motherboard: support 8x PCI-E 16x slots for GPUs
- GPU: Embedded 6th gen Intel Celeron Processor 3855U
- CPU cooler integrated on the board
- Supported GPUs: 8pcs AMD470/480/570/580 or Nvidia P106/P104/1060/1070/1070TI/1080/1080TI
- Memory: Support SO-DIMM DDR4 up to 8GB RAM (Laptop memory)
- Ports: 2x USB, 1x VGA, 1x RJ45 Network
- Power: Support server style power supply and ATX PSU
- Board dimensions: 46 X 18 cm
Price & conclusions
This 8x GPU mining motherboard with integrated CPU
from Octominer is currently priced at USD $199 with
shipping from China (shipping and import taxes and
VAT not included). Shipping is with DHL Express and
should take about 5-7 days according to the website
and cost you $25 USD for most locations, though the
price may vary for some regions.So, if you are into mining and looking for 8 card solution,
i think, this is something, you deffo should look at. There
are also youtube videos showing how to build mining
rig, so, let me know if you build one with Octominer :) .
Please, comment bellow, what are your
toughs about Octominer? Do you mine with GPU?
Did you plan to build one already?
I upvote EVERY good comment.

Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions.
Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
The young boy paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the youth replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.”
The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.”
The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!”
Interesting post, and very informative and comprehensive in its content.
I'm looking forward to our next post
I so want to get into mining but I really have no idea what i am doing. i am going to check out the youtube video you linked and start seeing what i can do.
I really like you post
Interesting
G-OO-D J-O-B
Amazing. Looks complex in photos, can't imagine put all that together!
excellent info beneficial for crypto miners who require better options to work. thanks for sharing
La minería es un tema interesante que he estado revisando; veo que hay máquinas como la que describes para minar. Pero también hay otras formas de hacerlo. Por ejemplo, aquí en steemit, cuando estamos creando contenido, este se está transformando en "steem". En ese momento; nosotros, los usuarios de steemit, nos estamos convirtiendo en robots que desarrollamos dinero a través de datos de nuestros escritos. De verdad, es un tema bastante interesante. Gracias por compartir.
When you first add the address, it asks for a "label", I just put my account name in both fields, then clicked No Memo and was able to receive the funds.
Great and informative post. I'd also like to add that your rig looks awesome and your write-up about it is a good read. I've built multiple miners for both Bitcoin, BitcoinCash and Ethereum. I find that heating is often a major issue and all of the components work better when they are efficiently cooled. Do you find that your rig gets hot with all of them lined up like that? Why not use the ol' reliable method of using GPU risers to give them a little breathing room?
Great post! Keep it up!
Hi, I really appreciate your post. I am also providing some valuable info for all Windows miners that I want to share with as many people as possible. Many people don't know how to properly configure Remote Desktop so that there is no mining performance degradation of the GPU. I explain how to fix this problem, which will be helpful for all miners. I would greatly appreciate if you would resteem this for me. This information will help a lot of people!
