19 PCIe Slot Board to Crunch Crypto hashes being released soon
-
This thing is insane, 19 PCIe slots, 3 power supply adapaters (cause you know those GPU's are going to need it).
Over 24000 cores!
-
I saw the board and how do they plan to plug in 19 cards in it? Even with riser cards seems hardly doable.
-
PCIe Riser cables are likely the only option. Like these.
-
With the addition of these 19 PCIe slots means 3 more power supply units. Still worth bitcoin mining? I don't think so.
-
But, I'd be interested in if it is possible to use all 19 PCIe slots from cryptography, or just an astronomical butt load of storage.

If the currency increases in value, sure it would be worth mining. It might just take a bit longer to earn your money back.

It all depends on how fast you get a bitcoin from mining... I did the math, assuming 3x 1000W power supplies running at capacity, and the electrical price I pay here, I would spend $176/month in electricity to run it 24/7.

@brianlittlejohn and probably a visit from the DEA with that jump in my electric bill.

I wonder if this could be used in other serialized applications? Machine learning? Genomic research? Seems like this has a much broader application then just mining.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Cryptocurrency mining is the short game. To me, something that takes a lot of computations but not much in the way of storage or RAM might be perfect for something like this, such as, like you said, genome research or maybe even stronger cryptography than AES, if ever possible.

That's good pricing. I'd expect far more.

Yes, but there are bigger systems for that.
