I just set up a mining rig with Conf :

- Intel i3 - 6098P CPU
- Asrock - Z170 Extreme 3
- AMD Powercolor RX 480 GPU - 6 gpu
- Kingston 120 GB SSD
- Corsair RM 1000x PSU.
- windows 10 Enterprise x64
- Ram DDR4 HyperX Fury 2133 Mhz

The recent problem I encountered is when joining 6 gpu's. 3 of them are running perfectly fine and in device drivers window showing - "This device is working properly". The other 3 are showing this in the driver - "Code 12: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system". http://imgur.com/a/MhWI6

I have tried my level best to work on this error but unable to solve. when I connect 5 of them only 2 runs fine and the other 3 of them doesn't work as the same way above.

I have tried solutions given by microsoft and other aslo. but no clue still.

Kindly Help.

"When connecting 5 GPU. 3 of them shows the Error only 2 works. While connecting 6 GPU 3 of them shows the Error only 3 works. When reconnecting 4 GPU all work fine". HOW ? WHY ?

I have an ASRock H81 BTC R2.0 and 6 MSI RX 470 Gaming GPUs
Up to three GPUs everything runs smooth.
If I put in #4 I get all kinds of errors... BSODs, Code 12 or 43.
I changed risers, power leads, PCI-E slots and GPUs to no avail.
All risers connected with SATA-Power, PCI-E slots extra powered with 2 4-pin molex plugs from PSU as stated by the MB manual.

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

You should have maybe read through the forum for compatibal boards before you purchased the components. None of the skylake boards (B150, H170 Z170) work with more thsn 5 GPU. Most will work with only 4. There is no solution, this is a hardware limitation. If you want to use more than 6 cards, use an older motherboard/processor/ram combo, like the several mentioned in the replies here.
If you purchased 6 cards, two are now useless and its best you return them.
If youre in bangalore I can buy them off of you.

Same error here.

Setup:

- ASRock B150A-X1
- 5x Sapphire rx480 Nitro+
- 250gb hdd (had some left)
- rm1000x 1000watt
- 4gb ddr4
- intel pentium G4400
- (windows 10)

Using 1x to 16x powered risers right now, will be using usb 3 risers next week.

I have my rigs (3) running with only 3 cards now untill there is a solution. I hope someone can help us!!

edit: Just got 4 cards to work, dont know how/why.

same problems

i have 6 GPUS x RX 470 8gb
i change the Motherboard from ASRock B150A X1 to ASRock H81 Pro BTC and works perfect

Screen shoot here https://s21.postimg.org/dtzegteyv/eth_screen.jpg

The ASRock H81 Pro BTC is designed specifically to work for mining. So it is better to use it. I also use ASRock H61 Pro BTC

They are good boards.

i have asrock extreme4 and i have this issue 6 gpu not working... anyone can help? thanks Cry

Try to update bios at last version

i have update at last 7.00 version of bios... but when i connect 6 gpu ... 3 of them on w10 have (code 12) error code on windows device list...

Ok. Try to switch off USB, LAN and Audio from bios. When boot on OS and delete hidden devices from device manager. When reboot your rig.

I have Asrock H81 Pro BTC, chipset Intel H81, and only 3 GPU and the same error.
The sistem work with 2 GPU, but CODE 12 error with 3 GPU.

It did work sometimes after several restarts.
I tried on Ubuntu 14 and the same. The system see only 2 GPU, so I belive it has something with the BIOS.

Same problem with the MSI Z170-A PRO.
Only 4 cards are working. 2 cards code 12.
Has anyone found a solution to this?

had the exact same mobo, tried *almost* everything, gave up and returned it

I found that the H61 BTC pro or the H81 BTC pro are the best mother board out there. They are very reliable.

Same problem here - can see 4 out of 5 on ASROCK B150 PRO4/D3, Win10.
Connecting a fifth gives me THREE cards with error code 12.
All cards are fine, all RX 400.
Turned off all the non essential devices,
upgraded bios to latest
switched to pcie gen 1(tried gen 2 as well...also noticed in the new bios there's actually separate setting for each pcie slot),
disabled integrated, including gpu multimonitor (btw with integrated graphics on - the system won't post)
tried all on USB raisers and with one card in slot
upgraded win to latest...
what else... contemplating reinstalling windows although doubtful if it will help...

kinda out of ideas ... will go for a while with 4 ... maybe later will play with power/raisers.

In the BIOS, maybe you can change the PCIE generation from auto or 3 to generation 1, that might help.
