Built around the Intel B360 chipset and the LGA1151 socket, it supports 8th and 9th Generation Intel Core processors (Coffee Lake \/ Coffee Lake Refresh), giving Australian miners access to readily available second-hand CPUs at low cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12 PCIe 3.0 slots are arranged as \u003cspan class=\"mh-highlight\"\u003e2 × x16 (one full-length, one for primary GPU) and 10 × x1 slots\u003c\/span\u003e for riser-mounted secondary GPUs. \u003cspan class=\"mh-cyan\"\u003eTwo 6-pin PCIe power connectors\u003c\/span\u003e on the board itself supply auxiliary power to the slot rails — critical for stable 12-GPU operation, since drawing all GPU slot power through the 24-pin alone risks voltage drop and unstable mining. Two DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 32GB at speeds of 1866\/2133\/2400\/2666 MT\/s (4GB is generally sufficient for Linux mining OSes like HiveOS or RaveOS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage and connectivity include \u003cspan class=\"mh-highlight\"\u003eM.2 SATA III (6Gb\/s)\u003c\/span\u003e, 4 × SATA 6Gb\/s ports, Gigabit Ethernet (Realtek RTL8111F), 4 × USB 3.1 Gen1 ports, 2 × USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, and PS\/2.
