I´m using an Asrock H81M. Both 5V Power Plugs are connected..

1) Asrock H81M is a miniATX board, and has only two PCIe slots, so no, that is not the board that you are using. What you have could be the Asrock H81 ProBTC or Asrock H81 ProBTC V2
2) Those arent 5V plugs, they are molex power plugs which can draw upto 12V. And you should not have them plugged in when using RX 470/480 cards.
3) Again, go through the forum threads, every answer you need already exists there. Please have the patience to read through hundreds of pages and try 10's of settings, we all did it.

Yes, sure, you are right. H81 BTC Pro 2.0. And in the documentation was a comment, when using more then 3 Video Cards, you have to plugg in at min, one Molex Power connector, but better both. So i thought, i have to.
Please believe me. I´m doing nothing else, then reading. I´m sick at home and i´ve a lot of time.But i also have a lot of qustions..
But you gave me hope, that there is a solution for my issue:-)

Are u using powered usb risers?
If you are please UNPLUG the 4-pin connector that goes from your PSU to your mobo before u fry anything...

If you are NOT using powered usb risers then ok keep the 4-pin molex in

He's not going to - please stop giving bad advice. Powered USB risers are cut - they don't connect the power from the mobo to the GPU.

That's not what i said
I never said he will fry the GPU
But he CAN fry the risers

Using an Asrock h81 pro btc with powered risers PLUS 4-pin molex connectors is an overkill

Giving too much power to the mobo (main mobo cable plus 4-pin molex) when it's not needed is not good


You HAVE to give the mobo that 4-pin, or it won't work with all PCI-E slots filled. Plus, having the extra power is NOT going to fry the risers. Power doesn't work like that.

OK then i will TAKE A PHOTO of ALL my rigs that have x6 GPU's (ALL 6 PCI-E slots filled) mainly 480's (i have other setups also) WITHOUT any molex 4-pin connected that work perfectly for months
and post it here...(after i get home that is)

PS. I am using ethOS but Windows 10 works as good without problems


Where are those pics? Some of us want to see

Sorry I forgot to post the photos
Why would anyone lie for something like this? What motive would I have?

ANYWAY

Here is a video I JUST took
You have 1 week from the moment I post this to check it out, after a week it gets deleted

Here are some pics of my rig with 7 GPU's regarding the molex debate, you can see my rig and no molex connected to the motherboard (Asrock H81 Pro BTC) and no molex visible in the pics:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/success-7-gpu-mining-with-asrock-h81-pro-btc-pcie-switchhub-1851487

Only thing I remember doing was updated the motherboard firmware to 2.30 and changing PCIE to gen1 and it boots up perfectly fine everytime.

Now the money is free, and so the people will be
About that molex thing....I have just one H97 that demands it at boot, and others that do not.  doesnt change anything to have one molex connector on it, as far as I can tell, it doesnt really draw much power at all.  Been running over a year like this, no problemo.

They could have switched to a serial power design...last time i talked to them their first batch of miners were parallel based design (ie about 4-5 chips per DC-DC power buck) in order to reduce time to market, and they were going to switch to serial later on(string of chips running off 12v like bitmain). If they did that in their new batch they could possibly gain 10-15% in power efficiency.

OOK.. I got it.. What a nightmare. Just to let you know. From Version 13.12 on AMD has changed some entrys in their driver, related to the registry.
The result of this change is in some Asrock H81 BTC Pro R2.0 and Asrock H81 BTC Pro, it is not possible run more then 4, or 5 GPUs.
There is a verry good, working fix available.

Here is a good tutorial and all you need to fix it.

If you are using Win10 / Linux distro, there shouldn't be any problem to make it work with 6+ cards.
6xgpu mode is only required for Win7/Win8.1

Hi together,

i tried both. With both Molex connected and without. Result was the same. I bought a new H81 Board.. There must be something
wrong with the other. And i can´t find anything regarding to this issue in the net.
Thats so sick. I have installed them one by one. OS is identifiing each card. Then plugg in the 5. and the error message appaers. Driver could not installed. Then i unplugg one of the 4 others and reboot, and the os is finding the card and can install the driver. When i then re-plugg in the other one again, that worked before, i got the same error for this card. Driver installation failed. I can do that with any of the 5 cards. All are working fine. As long they are only 4.

I´ll see, when the new board has arrived.

Then I'm guessing you changed something in the Mobo BIOS - I have an H97 Anniversary (basically the same board), and it complains.

True I have updated the firmware in my H81
but indeed the H97 Anniversary needs it. I have one H97 Anniv. and it doesn't let me without the 4-pin molex
But i have plenty h81 Pro btc and they all work without the 4-pin molex

Deadsix: I have both Asrock h81 pro btc and the pro btc rev.2... They both work with x6 RX 480's with no problems

The H81 ProBTC I remember had issues with 6 cards, but the V2 fiexs that problem. You do not need the molex connectors on the board at all, unless using unpowered Risers and non RX 470/480 cards. both of which no newbie ever uses.

i have 6 rx 480 running with modded bios at 770 hash average per card , and i use around 800Watt

is this ok? or can we use even less power ?

looks good i did 6x 470  758hash/card for 750W

Are you all wanne make me criing :-((((

Is nobody willing to help me with my AMD Radeon RX470 Nitro 4GB OC.. I triied everything..Flashing, Wattman, Sapphire Trixx..
Doesn´t matteer what i do, it is always getting worster, then better. I getting 640 Hash per card and one of these cards seems to be anpthe model. Looking a little bit different. Power Supply is on the Top, not on the back and she has other RAM, not Samsung ans is 1236 - 1750 takted. And she is slower. only 580 Hash. Is there something i can do?

RFegards,
Scandalrosi

average of 750 Hash / GPU, 100W power usage / GPU (on the wall) + 50W for the system.
All cards are sapphire nitro 470 (with differents memory).
Using -a 2 parameter, it helps for power consumption.

@Scandalrosi : Don't use other BIOS. I provided you already informations about the best way to mod your bios which is to paste your original BIOS' 1500 timings (elpida, hynix) into 1625, 1750 and 2000 straps.
It is very easy to do and should provide a nice increase already.
If you just flash BIOS' that are not compatible with your GPU, chances are high that it won't work.

Which timings do u use? I use 1750. What memory and GPU clock , voltage ? Smiley
i posted couple page back, 1425 was the best for me, hynix memory  on sapphire rx470 4G  memory runs at 1920  gpu at 1200 default voltage
i don't care much about power usage i just limited a bit because my psu is 750w and i sow it was a bit over 750 in corsair link
