Coin Mining Motherboard: TUF Sabertooth

Whether your flavor is Lite, Doge or other, crypto coin mining requires reliable, stable hardware to generate successful hashes with minimal downtime. Typical coin mining motherboards are left out in open racks, which is where the TUF Dust Defenders can be of most benefit, greatly reducing the dust build-up across the board and within the slots. Secondly, the Sabertooth comes with six fan connectors compared to just three other 'coin mining' board's. This, combined with Thermal Radar  and Fan Xpert II allows more flexibility and control in system cooling, retaining system stability at all times. In the above shot of the Thermal Radar software, the Sabertooth's additional cooling fans provide key cooling to essential areas identified by the thermal readings and software, while the DirectCU II hardware on the 290X GPUs provided sufficient cooling headroom for 24/7 operation.
