did u you change ur 7th card with one of the six running atm to see if maybe the 7th card is the problem?

Otherwise i would try to ask the support of MSI...

The artifacts come before any bios or windows screen. It's directly before boot up.

7th card plugged in > Artifacts before BIOS POST

7th card disconnected > Boots perfectly and without any errors and mines days after days.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone actually got a MSI Z87-G55 working with 7 GPU`s? If i connect 6x cards everything is great, but when adding the 7th card i only get a screen with all weird colored artifacts (see picture). I also checked the risers and changed every BIOS setting i could find but sadly no joy :-( . Very curious if someone succeeded because it seems some say it should work and others say it can`t.



artifacts mostly because of less virtual mem or not using igpu or dongle or maybe reduce intensity???

MSI Z87-G55  - not working with x1 risers in the x16 slots! Hot plug doesn't help me, but some peoples says it is

try modify pcie gen in bios
and disable everything that is not needed in bios as well

The best one I used was the MSI Z77A-GD55. It is much cheaper than the MSI Z77A-GD65  You need lbr mod to make it work.

so, is this mb( MSI Z77A-GD55) supports 7 GPU for mining ,because in another post someone says that it can support only 6 gpus?

got problem with H270 Plus, I put 7 cards, 6xPCIe and 1xM.2, everything works fine until I turn on machine via AC power loss option, than windows recognizes only 6 cards. Reset win doesnt help..When I turn on board via Power switch everything is fine, 7 cards are shown but on AC power loss (power on) there are only 6, any idea?

Z87-G55 confirmed to work with 7x R9 290 (using modded driver from https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=11761.0) with Windows 8.1:



Getting some blackscreens sometimes though, either when shutting down, booting up or closing the miner. Can't figure out why yet.

look at your temps...no wonder you're getting blackscreens...

Hi, what about Biostar Racing Z270GT6, has anyone ever tried? I see it has 7 slots, right?
http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=859

I have it, only was able to get 6 GPUs to work.

TOLUD to 3.5 only got me from 4 to 6 GPUs, 7 had errors.

Messaged their support, nothing.

Always blows my mind when MB companies put 7 ports, when only 6 work. Other manufacturers like ASUS solved this with above 4G decode. Biostar is too cheap for that.

Again, I spent hours trying to mod the drivers on windows 7 and 8 to support 6+ gpu's, windows 10 is like $100 and no matter how many rigs you have, you'll never have to buy it again. The first rig is always the most expensive because there is a pretty steep learning curve. Also, I initially bought a 1200w psu for like $220 and it runs all 7 480s pretty well, but you can get 2 700w-850w psu's for like $75 each and the connection adapter is only about $10 or so.

I currently have a 7 sapphire nitro rx 480 8gb rig running off of an msi gaming 5 mobo. If I were you, I'd invest in a 6x gpu rig and then build another one on top of that if you want more mining power. I'm currently building a new 6x gpu rig and one of the cards will be moved from my 7x rig to the new one so they both have 6x each. Also, save yourself a huge headache and use windows 10.

Well make it 5x to 7x PCIe motherboards list and it would be good to know too, since most people are going to use 5-6 graphics cards in a mining rig at the maximum. The list is pretty helpful though, I like it.

Why just motherboards? Maybe a list of even the branded computer systems (like of Dell or Lenovo) would be good to know carrying at least 5 PCIe slots.
