How to install more than 4 gpus on x370 SLI killer

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

   Hi everybody, how do I accomplish this?

Bios has been updated to 4.5.

I have over 4G encoding turned on. I've tried setting PCI Express options to 2nd generation. I've tried different pcie slots via riser cards (1x to 16x adapter).

There doesn't exist anything on the web that I've been able to find about this board being useful for mining. Ideally I'd like to attach as many video cards as there are PCI Express slots and maybe another one or two to the M2 slots via an M2 adapter to pcie.

I'm using different brands of Radeon RX 580s. They're all 8 gigabyte models except the two Asus 4 gigabyte models and currently one of these who's 4GB models is the one that is not recognized. It does not come up as an unknown device in device manager.

I do have some Nvidia cards that I'll be using as well but I really hoped to use those in another rig. For the sake of experimentation and learning I'll be plugging them in today and seeing if they are recognized.

	I've been trying Auto, Gen 1 as well as 2. After changing out all the AMD cards to NVIDIA I'm still only getting 4 cards recognised. A fifth card is showing up but is not running properly. This fifth card is known good and new.
