Colorful today introduced an non-standard form-factor socket LGA1151 motherboard for crypto-currency mining builds, the C.B250A-BTC PLUS V20. This board is 485 mm in length, and 195 mm in width, and probably won't fit in even HPTX cases for its intended use, but is suited for custom rack-type setups. It only includes the most bare-essential features to set up a mining rig with up to eight graphics cards, with 2-slot spacing between each card. The board lacks a 24-pin power input, so you can share your high-wattage PSU with multiple machines based on this board.
So this happened. Not surprised at all but the one thing that stands out to me as an SFF addict is the lack of a 24-pin ATX connector. Next to the sea of PCIe 6-pin connectors, the only power connector is a 4-pin EPS connector up top (black) and one on the bottom (white). So basically this board just needs 12V DC, period.
Now I'm even more curious if we can't finally ditch that annoying non-SFF-conform connector. Calling
@ASRock System to start the motherboards and @Corsair Johan for the power supplies.
