have u tried to disable 4G like suggested here ?

I'm getting crazy with this mobo (Asus prime z270-p)

I was really happy when I saw this thread that a lot of people managed to get their rig working but unfortunately I am not able to get it up and running with more than 4 GPUs. My last hope is that one of you can give me another tip. I tried already the following:

- BIOS upgrade to version 0808
- 4g is enabled and everything is working up to 4 GPUs
- DMI/OPI, PEG Port and PCI-E: tried Auto, Gen1 and Gen2 in all combinations
- Onboard Sound, Serial, SATA and USB is disabled

Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?

Any help is appreciated.

Hello Friends,

has anybody managed to make 8 gpus work on this Asus Prime  Z270-P.  I have connected 7th and 8th gpu to the M.2 to PCI-e convertor but did not manage to see them added in device manager (windows 10).

Any Bios settings I need to change ?

I am using latest Bios 0808 released on 23-07-17.

Thank you.

Try during 8h to have my 6th GPU reconnized but not works..
Only 5 GPU is detected on W10..

I Start thinking to change the Motherboard but when i see its working for some people, im so frustated..

4G above, 0608

Hi
   Which Bios and setting you used for your rig.

It can run only with 4G above enabled with 6 GPUs on 0610...

I think it really depends on what Bios version you got. On earlier Bios I could run it halfway stable put all options on Gen3.

Hi Guys,
              I am new here and I was also having the same issue , till 2 GPUs Z270P was working fine but once I add my 3rd GPU windows was crashing. So I upgrade bios 1st to the latest version of now which is PRIME-Z270-P-ASUS-0610.CAP , For me also Internet download was not working so simply I install from usb stick.

1st : Upgrade BIOS to 610 version
2nd : Go Advanced ----> System Agent (SA) Configuration ----> Enable "Above 4 G Decoding"
3rd : DMI/OPI CONFIGURATION ---> DMI MAX LINK SPEED change to GEN1
4th : PEG PORT CONFIGURATION ---> PCIEX16_1 LINK SPEED change to GEN1

Thats all I did not change PCH CONFIGUTATION configuration like other bro did and for me now mining is stable and running without any windows crash etc. from last 20 hours.

Yesterday I was able to run on my friend's Z270P 6x Asus Dual 1060 6GB with almost no problems.
My Z270P was running 6x AMD 470/480 also very good, didn't test m.2.

I also have issues with my rx 580 with asus z270-a mobo, described here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/weird-reboot-issue-with-rx-580-1961377 , will try this solution later

GUYS SOLUTION!!!


I've been sitting here and try to get this dumb piece of sh*t to work for almost 3 days now.

So here it is:

All you have to do is download Bios v0808 that has been released 23.06.17. Put it on a USB stick which is formated with fat 32 (internet update didn't work with me for some reason)

 - Remove all Cards/ Risers, plug in your USB Stick with the Bios on it. Plug in your HDMI Cable to the motherboard.

 - Boot

 - While booting express your rage by hiting that mf*cking f2 key several times to enter the Bios.


 - After entering the Bios, press F7 and navigate to Tools


 - Open EZflash and choose Upgrade from Storage. Update your Bios to Version 0808.

 - Reboot while pressing F2 several times again to Enter BIOS

 - Press F7

 - Go Advanced ----> System Agent (SA) Configuration ----> Enable "Above 4 G Decoding"

(DMI/OPI CONFIGURATION --->DMI MAX LINK SPEED will stay at AUTO! Dont change these..)

(PEG PORT CONFIGURATION ---> PCIEX16_1 LINK SPEED will stay at AUTO ! Dont change these..)

 - Go back to Advanced, then PCH CONFIGUTATION ---> PCI Express Configuration----> change PCIe Speed to "GEN1"


That should do it!


Some other usefull stuff:

 - Advanced ---> APM Configuration ---> change Restore AC Power Loss to "Power ON" (Rig goes on as soon as PSU delivers Power, no need to press on button or short pins)
 - Boot---> Next Boot after AC Power Loss, change to "Fast Boot" (boots faster)
 - Boot---> Boot configuration ---> Post Delay Time, change to 0 sec (for no Post delay, in Case miner restarts.)

When done in BIOS, Press F10, Save and reboot.


prey.


Hope this helps... ASUS PEOPLE, YOU DIDNT MAKE THIS EASY FOR US

This is why I advocate that people have hard drive led status lights and not just a power button for your rig. That little led has helped me TS rigs so many times I've lost track. I run Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) and had issues initially with getting this board to work.

I updated the bios to 0610 via the built in flasher in the bios
Changed all PCIe speeds to Gen2 and turned off what I didn't need like HD Audi, LED light and USB charging
Rebooted, but after the bios screen my screen would go blank.

Luckily I had my hard drive led status light as even though the screen was blank it was blinking, which let me know it was reading/writing to the drive and not frozen or locked up. So I gave it time to do its thing and low and behold it booted. Seems the GRUB menu doesn't load with above 4G decoding enabled, hence the black screen but the OS does eventually boot. Had I not had that HDD led I would of just taken the blank screen as a sign things aren't working and shut it down premature.

Hope the above helps someone

I have this mobo with Windows 10 Pro and 6 AMD GPUs was working very well. I've ordered M.2 to PCI-E adapters so will it test with 7 and 8 GPUs, but I don't have anymore GPUs now
All GPUs OCed and udervolted with modded bios. I had only problem with detecting cards before installing new drivers, run DDU twice with rebooring solve it. I'm installing drivers with iGPU as monitor and then connect HDMI to GPU in x16 slot on mobo.

This mainboard f*cking sucks... Driving me crazy... All I know is, when you enable 4g decoding, you will have to have an OS that has UEFI and not MBR, otherwise it wont boot.

This thing is driving me nuts.... seriously.

I get it to work with simple mining os but it crashes all the time. Cards have stock clocks.

It could be that or something. I will try it out. Thank you a lot!

I'm not sure what the equivalent in Linux is, but for 'Above 4G Encoding' set to enabled to work with Windows, it has to be installed in UEFI mode enabled. I'm guessing Linux has something similar. You probably have to install Linux with UEFI enabled.
