I cant afford a build, i have a small budget,
OEM will cut a big chunk (mobo ram cpu & an OS)probably the internal psu would run ok with ram/cpu/hdd/mobo,with a 2psu adapter could put a decent psu to get the hang of the gpus .

There are no PCI-Express settings in BIOS. The PC works with four GPUs connected to the extender and two GPU raisers connected to the mobo(or three GPU raisers connected to the mobo and 3 GPU raisers connected to the extender), but when I connect the seventh GPU the PC powers on but all diagnostic lights are on(not flashing) and the monitor is not starting.
Not all motherboards can run those PCI-E slot multipliers. I'm surprised you were able to get a Dell running with six cards. If possible, try setting all the PCI-E slots to GEN 1 in the Bios, but even then it may not be possible to have all the multiplier slots work. Also check if Windows is installed in UEFI mode, not legacy mode.
Hi,
I'm using Dell Optiplex 3010 which has 4 PCI-Express slots(1x16 and 3x1) and I'm using PCIe 1 to 4 PCI express 1X Slots Riser Card(like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/PCIe-1-to-4-PCI-express-1X-Slots-Riser-Card-Converter-Add-On-Card-4-Ports/32814708108.html?spm=2114.search0304.4.120.Y1xyWg) trying to run 7 GPUs on one mobo, but when I connect all the GPUs the PC won't start. All the four led numbers at the front of the PC are on(not flashing) and screen won't start. When I connect 6 GPUs(no matter how, 4 to the MOBO + 3 to the extender, or 3 to the mobo + 4 to the extender) it runs like a charm.
I've updated the BIOS to the latest version(A17), tested with different raiser, PSUs, GPUs, etc. I checked the BIOS settings, but I think I'm missing something there.
CPU: Intel Pentium, G2030 3000MHz 3MB,
RAM: 4GB DDR3

Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks in advance.
