actually, I don't have  Octominer but I have some Biostar brand so far (Biostar) don't have a big problem just setting a bit different when compared to ASROCK (with the same number of PCIe).

Price Of of  Biostar TB250-BTC D+: 178$ at NewEgg

when viewed based on price and manufacturing experience its, personally I choose Biostar TB250-BTC D+

Tou can't go wrong with any of these two. Octominer is tried and tested but Biostar is a big brand. I'd go for Biostar, high quality and newer model.

I would NOT recommend octominer, which is sourced from a low quality factory in china.

Biostar is a reputable brand with decades of experience in building motherboards.

The Biostar is a level up in quality compared to Octominer but keep in mind that Gpu-s , the ones for mining are usually dual slots and you will have a lot of temperature problems especially now in the summer if you can't keep them in good airflow places.

Overall though both are good choices and it all depends on personal preferences in the end because both motherboards do their job correctly.

I have 6 octominers that are working flawlessly. However, my cards are blower style, 2 slot, 10mm space between each card (vega). If your cards are not blowers you will need powerfull airflow because the cards will overheat each other. No experience with Onda, sorry
