I tried on a h81 pro btc and it can't boot with more than 6gpu even if they are on 5 slots! So h81 have trouble with this, but the gigabyte z87x works like a charm, the only thing you need to know that you can put only 8 cards from one manufacturer AMD or NVidia.

I have a few H81 probtc, they can boot with 8GPU. 2X7990 + 4X7970 or 2X7990+4XR9 390.
Are you using usb risers or ribbon one and what are your settings in the bios?

For the pictures : it is an ugly wooden rig and i sold one of the 1070 yesterday! But if you want i will post the pictures these days!


I have 2X7990+4XR9 390 on H81.

I use the ribbon riser. I just set the PCIE generation to 1.

Huh

How do you do to put 10gpu?

I do not understand

He used 4x7990 and 2x1070 on a gigabyte Z87X !

The 4X7990 uses 4 PCIE slots with 8 GPU in total. 2x1070 use 2 PCIE slot.

So he only uses 6xPCIE slots.

I got a powercolor 7990 and tried with 9 gpus , but when windows try to install the driver for the 9th card it crashes in blue screen.
One question , about that 7990 powercolor- it is a bit strange card , gpu-z says the cores are tahiti not malta as the others , and at the same speed as the others 1000/1500 it gives 245sol  on every core and the others give 295sol for a core? What could be the problem?

I once tried 6 x 7990s, but it wouldn't work with more than 8 GPUs in Windows, so i gave up trying Smiley

I'm surprised you can still mine with your 7990s.. all of mine died after 1 year of mining.  7990s are terrible for mining unless you have them water-cooled.

I have 2 7990 which ran between 80°C - 90°C with stock fans and now run at 56°C - 75°C with 2 x 140mm yate loon fans zip tied to the card mining Equihash.

The stock fans are useless for mining - I hit over 100°C when the card's airflow was restricted i.e. in a case.

Only way is a higher static pressure and higher airflow solution

stock thermal paste on the 7990 is shit, replace it and the pads and they do fine

was waiting to do the same setup and then read this thread, 4 7990's on zcash pulling 1450w from the wall..mobo gigabyte z97.. thanks! wasnt sure if I had a mobo that would work.

Hi , if you have one more graphic card to put to see if 9 gpus will work? Put on pcie 1234 and 5 if you have time!
Did you overclock it to get this 310sol/s , which driver do you use! Mine work at 1000/1500 and undervolted to 1.13v. Or may be you gave a better cpu?

I wonder if anyone ever bought a HP dl580 server?Huh   you can install 8 video cards @ pcie x16 since it does have 8 pci-e x 16 slots plus 4 slots of x8 ..  just wondering ..

Hmm I'd like to know too. Since they are about 1400 euros used with 2x 1200w psu. I wonder if windows server can run more than 8 gpu?
