One of the topical news topics of this summer is the prediction of trends in demand for computer components, fueled by so-called "miners" - members of the community who believe in the prospects for earning money in the market of crypto-currencies. Having devastated the stocks of graphics cards based on AMD graphics processors, this category of buyers along the way allowed sellers to get rid of the stocks of such specific goods as powerful power supplies. Yielding to the efficiency of
the production of crypto-currencies of the NVIDIA video card against the background of the lack of an alternative, they also became more expensive and became a scarce commodity. By the way, this is not felt by all the countries of the world. For example, colleagues from the site Bits & Chips explain that Italy "crypto-currency boom" affected minimally and with a delay, so here it is still possible without any problems to buy at least video cards based on NVIDIA GPUs, although the Radeon
running models are already sent by suppliers to "needy" countries.
But colleagues from the site ComputerBase.de after a conversation with one of the German dealers predict an early shortage of motherboards based on the sets of logic Intel Z170 and Intel Z270. Some models of these cards not only have enough PCI Express expansion slots, but also are equipped with M.2 interface connectors for installing solid-state drives. Since online auctions can buy inexpensive adapters from M.2 to PCI Express, then this motherboard is easier to equip with an additional video
card - through an adapter and an extension cable, of course.
Of course, card manufacturers have already started to offer specialized models with multiple PCI Express slots for miners, but they can not always be found on sale, and a universal motherboard is easier to use outside of the crypto currency. Related Products :
