Hey,

I just got my Asus Prime Z270-p to boot With 6 Cards, but it does not recognize the 6th card in Device manager.

In the start i couldent get past 4, but when i Connected one card at the time and Connected the x16 slots last, it booted With 6.

Will update if i find out more.

Guys, I bought two of these boards, but after reading all that I want to ask - what CPU should I buy? Skylake G3900 or Kaby Lake G3930. Or it makes no difference?



G3900 works fine with Z270-P.

I have used G4400 Skylake and now G3930 Kabylake. Can't see any reason why G3900 should not work.

Got it working!  Searched around a bit, and some people were suggesting to not use the onboard video, and to connect right to the main GPU for video output.  A few small tweaks later, and it's up and running.

Just want to say thanks. I was struggling to get my 5th card working, but after connecting to the GPU instead of the onboard video it magically started working!

I think that it's related to bios version. I have two identical boards Z270-P, one with latest bios version and and with factory 0810 version. Latest version bios I only get 7 working, the 0810 version 8 working exact same setup.

0810 can't be downloaded either from asus support page, strange.

Hi to all
I try to make it work that config
 asus z270-p, 4GB DDR4 2400, 120GB SSD, Intel celeron 3900 + 2x 735W Raidmax PSU + 7x GTX1060 6GB

Everything is fine - win say here are cards, see all 7 of them, but when star miner script it's work 1-2min and start stopping cards one by one. Win10 still see all 7 cards but the mining scrypt none. After restart the same.

Has someone ideas?

Change PCIe speeds to Gen1
Disable all Sata ports and USB ports not in use
Ill take Ethereum Tongue

No dice, same thing.  Thanks though.  Any other suggestions?

For the life of me I can't get past 4 GPU's on this motherboard.  I've tried all the recommendations throughout this thread.

I have confirmed that the GPU's and risers all work fine.  I've plugged them in with different combinations of 4 x GPU's, and they all work.  Just not when a 5th is added.
All GPU's are RX580 8GB's.  All work fine in Windows, up to 4 max.

-Latest ASUS drivers installed.
-Latest BIOS installed.
-4G enabled.
-DMI/PEG/PCIe Speed all set to Gen2.  I've played with many different variations of this.

After the BIOS screen, it just goes black and I can't do anything.

$50 to anyone who has experience with this motherboard, and can troubleshoot and get me up to 6 GPU's.

Hi Guys;

I jut joined week before, and i'm ok for the now. But ı got a problem. I'm minnig with 6 cards. But one of the pci-e x1 ( the top one, the nearest to the cpu, doesn't response. The card is brand new, andi couldnt manage to use it. So ı'm using one of the card with m2 slot.

İs there any configuration about that slot ? Or my mainboard got factory problem ? How can i understand that ?  If ı sent to guarentee it will take min 10-15 days to come back to me.

Is there a way to check if it has a problem or not ? Or any configuration about that ?

One would think some chinese engineers could make up some sort of tester for at least the usb cables and the little pci-e to usb chips. I didn't see any IC's on the little pci-e to usb chip thingy so it should be very easy to make a tester for that. The actual cards would be more intensive to test but the cables and chip cards should be easy...

I posted here almost exactly 24hrs ago whining about my M.2_1 not working. Well guess what - after testing each card individually I found the culprit. The issue was yet again a f*cking bad Chinese riser part. Yes, the M.2 cards were 100% fine BUT this time I found a dead Mintcell Ver. 8 riser kit bad. It was the small piece that plugs into the PCI-E and turns it into USB on the motherboard side. I have found three bad pieces like that now! (two Mintcell ver. 7 and now now Mintcell ver. Cool.

My hypothesis that all of these "I can only get four cards work" or "I can't get the M.2 risers to work" blah blah blah are all attributed to rubbish chinese riser parts. I can't even imagine how much time has been wasted because those as*holes couldn't do any QC on their junk. It was very suspicious in my mind that so many people have 8+ cards on their Z270-P's yet a select few of us can't get anything to work.

Well there you have it - VERIFY 100% THAT YOUR RISER KITS ARE COMPLETELY OPERATIONAL INCLUDING THE USB CABLE, THE PCI-E TO USB ADAPTER, AND THE PCIE BOARD ARE GOOD.

That's why it's always best to plug 1 or 2 cards and test out. If you start with 8 cards in one go you will have hard time troubleshooting.

Yea! Risers and USB connectors between MoBo and riser often become vulnerability. Also the signal attenuation in too long USB cable can affect on rig stability. Even if the OS properly detected all GPUs a piece of .... USB cable can corrupt whole situation
