Is there any mining motherboard for socket 1200? Like Asrock H110 PRO BTC+ or Biostar TB360-BTC PRO etc. for socket 1151?
For socket 1151 is very hard to buy cheap CPUs now

Yeah the answer is no.

 But have you tried used cpus on ebay?

the t versions save power.

But this ebay CPUs are really not cheap. Actually I need at least 100 PCS Celeron G4930 for Biostar TB360-BTC PRO (it support only 8 and 9th gen.)
Several weeks ago my buying price was around 31 USD (BOX, new, 3 year warranty). But now no stock, and all Intel distributors tell me, that Intel is not able to deliver them...

You used to buy processors for $ 31, now you have to pay $ 100. You will pay 69 more - this is an extra expense. But 1 mining farm of 6 video cards gives a profit of $ 15 per day (I counted not the most profitable video card - $ 2.5 per day)
This means that in 5 days of mining, you recoup the costs.
I think it is worth buying more expensive processors in order not to lose profit.

well then you fucked up.  you were too slow.

but switching to 1200 socket won't help you.

SO either pay for the more expensive cpus

 or sell your mobos and gpus.

If you need 100 cpus. It means you have a ton of motherboards and better yet a real lot of gpus.

Go into the gpu sales business.

unless of course you purchased them at a high price. and can not resell them at a profit.

I would guess you have more than 500 gpus to need 100 cpus.

looks like you may not get the farm running anytime soon.

I know how it goes. my issues are much like yours but on a smaller scale.

I have space and power for 50 gpu rigs I have 12 . I can not get gear to fill the space.

I won't pay top dollar so I build very slowly
