Too bad I cant reach the rigs then :/

Any way to hard reset the motherboard with wake-on-lan ?

No,
this kind of control can be done only with MBOs that have some kind of KVM on them, basically every better server board that's not entry level.

The included "b250 mining software" is kind of crap. It does not show what lane that is not functioning.

Possibly the generic B250 mobo driver

It shows the same as device manager.

Flashing bios from windows is not recommended, I think you can just load the bios .rom in any pendrive and use the ezflash utility in the bios itself

Any way to flash new bios from windows?

Winflash is tool for that but i am not sure if this board is supported.
I think that i have been flashing bios from windows only few times, to much stuff can go wrong so better just do it old-fashion way.

Other combinations may also work well, but ASUS doesn’t ensure the stability of the others. We recommend to use the suggested combinations.

When I get my board...!

I'll run 24+ cards on it

I think you'll might be missing a trick here.. Should be able to load the whole thing with Nvidia's, plus some! You just have to do it in the right order. load in numbers that wont trip the switch from x2, x4, x8, x16... This means you should load just x1 card per section, then x3 card, x7 cards.. So you don't swicth it's limits (if this section has x4 then that section limits to x8,x4,x2 or x1) once completed x3 cards in each section, the empty slots can be filled without limiting the others, because it can't limit to x2 with x3 in use) Something like that anyway Cheesy

Think CPU lanes too

What u talking about?

What is it that's stopping it from going over 13 cards, just seems strange.. Been waiting on my pre-order board since Dec from amazon.. I've got an Asus strix 6 slot running 10 cards fine

Official statement about this bios update are very clear, and they would probably say something about unlocking additional slots for non mining GPUs because that would be major change.

For Asus all 19 slots are working, so do not expect them to say "the bios now supports 19 cards" cause that would make customers to sue them for deceptive marketing and product feature. If they do a bios update to allow more than 13 gpus then it will be silent.

Install the lastest AMD Adreniline drivers after removing the drivers in safe mode with DDU. Then you can toggle to Compute mode from Graphics mode in AMD settings.

Can any one tell me for who use more than 8 card amd and use Windows what amd driver you using isit aug23 BLOCKCHAIN

I want know what driver can work with 13 card without hashrate Affected

I tested all the recent drivers on windows 10, for me blockchain driver is so far best. Here are reasons

1) For new drivers, you gotta change GPU workload to "compute" mode for each GPU. In case of rig crashes for some reason, all settings go back to default, time confusing process to change settings back

2) the main problem is the blue screen, new drivers are not stable and cause a lot of blue screen issues in my rig of 13 GPUs

3) new drivers break claymore temp and fan monitor, can't OC via claymore

Compute mode only set once
I have none bluescreen.
Restart claymore to take effect.
Using 18.3.2

I have two Mining Expert rigs and I have yet to see any settings for Compute Mode in the GPU software (windows 10 pro update 1709). And I even followed the many online instructions (clicking on global). Anyone know why?
