I am not in to the mining seen but it would be interesting to see if this board actually helps with mining or not. Can a motherboard be made to improve mining or is it just a waste? With this i am not referring to the ability to have 12 GPU's on one board but can the Mining BIOS version help over the standard versions with lets say just 2 GPU's instead of 12. This would level the playing field to all motherboards and not just a mining board.

No, the motherboard has nearly zero effect on mining. What little it does have is merely stability with having 12+ GPUs (such as 4G mode and that "mining mode" they mentioned in the article). Actual hashrates are card and power-delivery dependent.
