ETH mining? It must be amd then... nvidia is another story. AMD works also with pci-e spllitters so no problems running more cards in a single rig.

Win 7 ?  i have tried 6 but not yet 7... anyway 8 gpu is not a problem with z270p + win10 ...


anyone tried 12 gpu....?

goodluck

You could always just start it by connecting the PWR_SW pins on the motherboard together. I'm just using a screwdriver for this, works like a charm!

On the z270 Prime its the two pins to the top right, if I remember correctly. The pins should be marked with text below.

Ok, I understand, it is just before the BIOS update, you could turn on (from user shutdown) any moment you wanted. I was using it this way because I read that this is the way to go when you don't have a case or power button (first rig).


Thanks 4 reply.

Its meant for accidental shutdowns or power losses. If you just turn the mains off and back on, system will boot. If you shutdown your pc properly, well then its not accidental, and just turning power back on will not work immidiately, thats not what the feature is built for.
In such a case as you stated, you need to power cycle, which means turn off the PSU and wait a minute for the capacitors on the PSU/motherboard to discharge.

Hello, any1 noticed if AC power on power loss stopped working with the latest BIOS?

Well, not exactly, with older BIOS, you could power on only tapping the power button on the power supply. But I updated to latest BIOS (to have 4G decoding enabled) and now it doesn't turn on the same way. I must unplug the power cord first, plug again and then it works, but it's a bit of an inconvenience.

thanx for the guide, in 10 days I will try to add 2 more cards to my rig, will see how it goes

I have 2 rigs with 7 pascal gpus mining without problems on win7 x64.
The bios 0808 and all 3 pci-e related settings to gen3. Pimary gpu adapter set to pcie, audio disabled, serial port disabled.

Hi Guys,
             Good news for me now system is stable up and running without any issue for 7 GPUs, I have not tried 8 GPU till now but I believe that will work also.


For all those who are struggling with this issue. please follow below steps

First remove all the GPUs and perform below installation and then start connecting GPUs. (Better one by one)

Uninstall all the Intel drivers , Chipset driver.

Windows 10 x64 (restart system after every windows driver installation)

1 : Install Chipset Driver latest from Asus Website 19/7/2017
2 : Install new Graphic driver latest from Asus Website 19/7/2017
3 : Install latest Lan Driver latest from Asus Website 19/7/2017
4 : Install Latest Sata driver

AMD :
Install Latest driver 17.7.1 with all the features
Run Overclock Patch if card are overclock
Restart

on Bios :
Keep all the PCIe option to Auto except PCH Config :
1. DMI/OPI CONFIGURATION --->DMI MAX LINK SPEED will stay at AUTO
2. PEG PORT CONFIGURATION ---> PCIEX16_1 LINK SPEED will stay at AUTO
3. Advanced -->  PCH CONFIGUTATION ---> PCI Express Configuration----> change PCIe Speed to "GEN1"
4. Enable 4G decoding once add more GPU's

Dears I am also having the same issue now, 6 GPUs are fine but 7 GPU on M.2 slot Windows get crash sometimes after 3 , 4 Random time and when I check Windows even it show display driver crash and recover.

Asus release new Intel Graphic Driver , Chipset driver for Windows 10 Stability issue.
AMD installing latest AMD driver 17.7.1

Will share the result with you guys if it get stable.




If anyone of you able to run stable Z270-P with 7 or 8 GPUs on Windows 10 x64 , please share your bios setting and drivers details to help us

I've tried adding more virtual memory (like 20 GB) and same issue.
Btw, I've checked and while mining, system is using less than 3 GB of RAM, and I've 8 GB installed.

add some gig on virtual memory ...im using 0610 and they run smoothly.....

I've tried unplugging a 7th card, but not the one in M.2 slot. And it's stable!

So this means the M.2 slot is perfectly fine and it's probably a bios or windows issue with 7+ GPUs

I guess I'll have to try Ubuntu ...

Hi Guys,
             So M2 Slot are not working good for GPU's and crashing or on M2 we do not have to use Power plug (White cable) . Anyone have a stable 8 GPU running on Z270-P with 2x M2 slot ? if yes please share input/steps. thanks

Hi,

I've a Z270-P with Windows 10
GPU : Asus GTX 1070 Strix
Bios : 0810 (same issue with 0808)

6 GPUs are fine and super stable

As soon as I plug a 7th GPU on a M.2 adapter. Everything is fine (I can see 7 GPU) but it crashes and reboots after roughly 30 to 60 minutes of mining.

Any ideas? I've tryed 3 M.2 adapters and 2 risers: same result.

I have in the Bios pzd3mir's settings

Good news to all Asus Prime Z270-P owners!
BIOS 0810 is out!

My second rig started working with all 7 gpus... But I don't know why after so many hours of headaches 

I've installed 0808 bios on two Z270-P mobos, working great so far.

I'm going crazy...
Have 2 z270-p
Both have the same kaby lake pentium g4560. 1 have 1x4GB and the second 1x8GB ram.
Both have the same win7 ultimate x64 on sata ssd.
1st board mines with 7 gpu without any problem, in any slot combinations using M2_1 or M2_2 slot. 8th gpu shows on device manager but with the !
2nd board can see and use correctly 5 gpus. Each additional is not seen in the device manager at all.
Both have 0808 bios and same setings... Offcourse tried different settings on mobo2 aswell.
1st have 5x1060+2x1070 and the additional 1060 or 1070 showing ! in device manager
2nd have 2x1080ti, 1x1080,3x1070 and 1x1060 and cannot see more than 5 in the device manager.

Where is the problem? Mixing gpus? 1080ti consuming more resources?
Maybe I'll test putting the ti's on the first mobo...

Thanks!
