So I had all the reasons to expect they will work with the VEGA gpus too. The asus z270-a is no go, but I did manage to get 8 vega gpus after 2 days of trials on a z270-p. I think the secret was not updating the motherboard bios/uefi (I used the one that came with it out of the box). On another z270-p I could only get 7 cards to work, the 8th always had problems or not being recognised at all. Very strange.
I can't return any motherboards, but I can return the ones I will get in the future to test.. like the 13 slot pro btc mobo.
Very little info out there regarding 8 VEGA gpus on a rig. Hope this helps someone. Z270-P works.
I can only get 5 cards to work on asus z270-a, the rest are not recognised, and sometimes a 6th comes up with problems in device manager only disappear at the next reboot. very strange.
Do you know what motherboard/driver etc can get 6+ cards running on windows ?
On linux I couldn't even boot with more than 3 cards, it would give me some pci express errors.
Also, what miner works with vega on linux with the 17.40 + rocm drivers ? or is there any way to enable old opencl for vega ?
Please advise. thanks.
I personally think that if you're building a rig of 8 or more GPUs, the sensible options are to get mining-specific mobo like BTC Pro, Asrock H110 or Asus Mining Expert. Expecting the two M.2 adapters (or one!) would work smoothly without problems is just a gamble.
Can you still return the Asus Prime mobo?
For example every 9 minutes there is happens wallet swap for 1 min and then again to the normal wallet?
Why would you want to change dev fee address to your address when you're not the one who coded and developed the miner?
Given that you've build the rigs for your customers, wouldn't it be better if you just sell them at a profit? (which I think is what you're doing unless you're on to becoming a charity and/or a saint)
