H81 PRO BTC 2.0 vs MSI 1070 ARMOR

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey guys, I have 2 spare GPUs, so I decided to build a small rig. Both GPUs are MSI GTX 1070, but one is Gaming X the other is Armor.

Rig specs:
MB: ASRock H81 PRO BTC 2.0
CPU: Intel Pentium G3260
RAM: 2x4GB HyperX 1333
HDD: 128GB Kingston SSD
PSU:Corsair 850i (850W)
Risers: Gembird RC-PCIEX-3

I have no problem with the GAMING X card. I can install it anywhere I want, its recognized and mines without any issue. Problem comes with installing the Armor card. The card is perfectly OK, it runs well in a different computer, but after installing it into the H81, it does not get recognized. And it doesn't matter if its installed alone or with the GAMING X card. Riser is ok (I`ve swapped the risers and cards). The one time it does get recognized is when I plug it directly into the mobo, but then the gaming X card is not detected correctly (showing only 4GB of VRAM). I have tried resetting the CMOS, pagefile to 32GB, different cables... Please help
