Is this a good M.2 riser?

@manicdan What do you mean with power cards?

This is the one I'm talking about:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/-f4AAOSwTapV4-qz/s-l1600.jpg

As you can see it has a small 4 pin power connector. You don't have to use it as the riser itself is powered.

The one your looking at is probably a good choice.

I guess I can get this "adapter/riser thing" on e-bay right?

It's much better to get this adapter. you can run upto 4 devices from this one. I am using one with 4 cards plugged in. no additional power required by the adapter either. Just ensure you get the VER 002.

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/PCI-E-to-PCI-E-Adapter-1-Turn-4-PCI-Express-Slot-1x-to-16x-USB/605305_32833259844.html?spm=2114.12010611.0.0.649f3bbb809U1s

I had an incident of that m.2 pcie adapter burnt out. Luckily didn't damage any components on the board. The pins below can get bent and short out.

This works 100%??

I am using 2 cards. All 4 ports work for me on 2 separate Z270 motherboards
Imo it's definitely worth trying out yourself for 14 bucks odd.

So you can potentially run 9 GPU's with this adapter plus the other 5 slots?

Is anyone running these right now can say how they're working?

Thanks heavyarms

Does a Celeron 3930 work on this motherboard out of the box? Not too keen on swapping a cpu in just to update bios.

Yes!

Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

So it turns out these boards only like certain risers. Version 6 i believe. This is why my board only saw 3of6 gpu.

Swapping risers solved my mobo's identifying issues

My ASUS boards like ALL risers, the Biostar boards are choosy though.

I have 6 rigs with 8 GPUs and this motherboard. It has been troublesome to get them running because the m2 adapters that I got is of terrible quality. Some work and some don’t. I just found out that they are full off solder “balls” and bridges.

Hello have someone successfully try 8 GPU on this mobo? Or do you recommend Z270-A? Tnx for the answers

i have 8 running in windows without issue

turn on 4g
and dont use the power cords for the 2 m.2 riser cards, it works fine without them.

_kaurus can you check if your HDD or SSD is partitioned with MBR or GPT? MBR does not support Above 4G Decoding, but the symptom should be system lockup.

https://www.howtogeek.com/245610/how-to-check-if-a-disk-uses-gpt-or-mbr-and-how-to-convert-between-the-two/

Other then that I would remove one of the 1070's to see if the R9 390 got recognized. Or check if the system will accept 4 or more 1070's if you have more.

I'm using an MBR partitioned SSD with win7 and it works with 7 nvidia gpus. On the asus prime z270-p offcourse.

I was under the impression that Microsoft used MBR by default on all windows installs. So why would i have an MBR issue to recognize additional cards.

My AB350 board did 6 cards (not of the same brand), my asrock does 8+2 and now this Asus prime Z270-a only does 3 cards of any type. All systems are running off a normal laymen's install of windows.

for my rigs on Z270-P with 6 cards that option PCIE-X GEN speed became most crucial!!
if it was set to auto - no luck on loading, no keyboard, no HDD
if set on GEN1 - nu loading
if set on GEN2 - stable and running good
if set on GEN3 - not stable loading

I don't know what to say, but I guess for some rigs this option is important as well

I just did a test on one of my rigs and it will boot Windows 10 and mine regardles of what PCIe speed is set to, Gen1, 2 and even 3. That is with BIOS version 0810. 3x580 Nitro+,1x570 Nitro+, 1x580 Gigabyte Gaming 8 and 1x1070 Zotac Mini
Unless your BIOS older than 0810, it may depend on the graphics cards and/or the risers used?

Bear in mind that a lot of the post you read are old and the problems described may not apply to you now as BIOS firmware and Windows/GPU drivers has been updated. I set the 3 different PCI speeds to GEN2 and GEN1 on my first rigs to get them running, but I have now set them back to Auto on all my rigs. I think Above 4G Decoding is the only thing you have to enable in BIOS.

This drive was setup on another system and transferred to this mobo. It was running 10 1070 + 2 390s. Do you think i should still try the mbr version?

No. It should be GPT. If you used the drive with 12 GPUs it is GPT.

This other system is also a Z270-A? If not I would reinstall windows from the mobo you are going to use.
