It seems that the mining madness is not over yet. And this is a fact, and it appears that MSI is aware of this and seems to believe that the mining world requires new motherboards for this purpose. That is why the MSI H310-F PRO has been created. That is a motherboard with the LGA1151 socket designed to install the next Coffee Lake processors, notably the following Pentium and Celeron, which are the most popular choice among cryptocurrency miners.

Thanks to the 12 PCIe x1 and PCIe x16, the MSI H310-F PRO can have up to 13 graphics cards installed simultaneously. So, providing an extra power supply through the different Molex connectors.

For the rest of the features, it has an 8-phase VRM power supply for the CPU along with two DDR4 RAM sockets. That is more than enough for the purpose for which the motherboard is intended.
It also has four SATA III ports, one PS/2 port, four USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and DVI video connections, Ethernet port, and 2.1 sound, although I know what matters least.
On the other hand, in the images of the MSI H310-F PRO. Also, you can see the lack of a Molex connector and four PCIe x1 due to the limitation of the chipset. That may come with the version that incorporates the B360 chipset.
The rest doesn’t matter, so we have four SATA III 6.0 Gbps ports, one PS/2 combo port for mouse and keyboard. Also, there are two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet port, two DVI and HDMI video outputs, five 4-pin connectors for incorporating fans, and dedicated buttons of the system on/off and reboot.
