anyone having issues with this board on linux (simplemining). i bought a lot of these boards (only wanted 1 for testing but it wasn't my choice) and it seems like it'll work just fine (using bios 1.30b) at first but as i start adding gpus eventually the network adapter will stop responding and i get this error:
a start job is running for raise network interfaces.. and it never finds it. can't see the rigs on my local network either. i'm really not sure what could be causing this :/
Topic: ASRock H81 Pro will not accept more than 2 GPU's (Code 12) (Read 4189 times)
Finally fix it.
I followed what Asrock tech support said to do in a review on Newegg:
Dear Valued ASRock Customer,
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Please try following to trouble shoot the board.
Unplug the power, clear the CMOS.
Load the BIOS setting default.
Test with 1 x GPU and known good raiser card on each PCIE slot one at the time to verify all slots are working individually.
Same to raiser cards and GPU to test individually.
Populate the cards if all slots, raiser cards and GPUs are working individually.
Check the PSU is enough power for whole unit.
If you have any technical support inquiry, please contact us at http://www.ASRock.com/Support/tsd.asp
We will assist you shortly.
Thank you

After each raiser was connected, I had to allow for 3-5 minutes for Windows to get through the log on screen, but after that it worked. That was a horrible couple of days.

I'm really, really learning to hate this board.
I have one H81 of the 5 rigs I have. all have 5 or 6 GPU's per Rig. AND this one, the H81, has given me nothing but problems. The miner crashes on this board, it freezes, and for what ever reason, this board hates me. Maybe it's Windows, maybe it's me, maybe it's the board.
I started with this rig 6 months ago, and rebuilt it so,so many times. First Win 10, but back then - Win 10 had issues, switched to Win 7. That worked for a while but recently I was having problems with ccminer freezing - so... I thought maybe it's time to go back to Win 10.
UGH... now I cant get it to boot when I add the third GPU. Every time I add the third GPU it gets stuck in Windows startup.
Any thoughts?

100% - power is cheap over here. You at 65%?
Yes... Wish i had cheap power (0.15 here) but my real limit is ventilation.My cellar is getting too hot when i put more than 75%. I already have a massive 1000CFM fan for extraction but i'm waiting for a fan controller. It's too damn loud at max speed

After days of debug i found the solution with this motherboard.
Drop Windows 10 with this board and install Windows 7. All your GPU will be recognised in no time.
Forget about windows 10. Not to mention i have better performance with windows 7.
A noticable hash rate difference in all your GPUs? What percentage increase did you see with w7? Drop Windows 10 with this board and install Windows 7. All your GPU will be recognised in no time.

Maybe the issue was with my system but with 6GPU i was running neoscrypt at around 7200 on windows 10 and 7800 on windows 7

What is Hashflag how to use it ?
What is Hashflag how to use it ?
"Hashflag"? - That is the use of a small graphic and a Twitter hash tag together. Personally, not a fan of the use of them.
But...
"Hackflag" is describe on this thread (just page back one page) - it's used to change / modify Window's registry when you run out of Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus numbers. Just be careful when you mess around in the registry. Read up on it before changing anything.
Good luck,
Just had a reply from ASRock Support:
Hello,
Hello,
I don't care what asrock support says, the molex power connectors aren't to be used UNLESS you are using Unpowered risers, not powered risers.
I have both the older version of the h81 and the newer r2.0 neither of which do I power the molex on the motherboards and they work as intended
I have only one of these boards - and i't been up and running for 4 months. I am running Windows 7 and 6 1070ti on it. I'm using powered, Mintcell risers and found it doesn't matter if you plug the Molex cable into the MB or not. Works fine either way. I'm not sure why you think you shouldn't use it. I actually have it plugged in right now. I don't think it matters - no harm with or without. But I am interested to hear why it should NOT be plugged in or are you saying it doesn't matter if it is or isn't?
Thanks
Hi everyone, it worked for me HackFlags. My mining is running 5 gpu perfectly. Here's my setup:
Asrock H81 Pro Btc R2.0
Celeron G1840
5 Gpu Gtx 1060 3gb
4gb ddr3
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bit
I did not need to update the bios, just install the drivers with nvidia 382.53. Important, connected with the video onboard, and disabled on the audio bios onboard and disabled in the device manager all the audios of the gpu.

After lots of troubleshoot now all is also working good. Microsoft Windows 10 1703 did resolve all problems !!!
Only message this board give at start: please install the psu's 4-pin power cables to the 4-pin power connector on your motherboard
While all cables are connected, and the rise cards and GPU has power directely from my 1200 watts unit. Is this something to worry about ?
Are is the board only telling you , that you have 3 cards or more
it does say you can ignore the message too, and yeah it only pops up after connecting certain amount of gpus. once ya tell it to ignore the message it doesn't come back
Just had a reply from ASRock Support:
Hello,
1. Please try to borrow more RAM to test with.
2. Try increasing virtual memory in Windows to at least 16GB.
3. The Molex power connectors on the motherboard must be used, even with powered risers. I know you tried this already.
4. Please try to test with Windows 10 version 1703.
Any change?
Kind regards,
ASRock Support
