Topic: Gigabyte-GA-H110-D3A Mining board SUCKS! Can't get 6gpu up and running - page 3. (Read 25639 times)

The M.2 riser unfortunately does not work for gpu only for SSD

anyone managed to run 7 GPU???
the 7th running through M.2 riser

Don't worry I had the same issue but after carefully reading the important steps and settings here: https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/462/mining.html I managed to get it to work. Think the setting that caused issue was Compatibility Support Module (CSM) option. It says to have 'Disabled' but from memory I had to have it 'Enabled' before my 60GB SATAII  SSD would boot Windows.

The other important steps to follow, some already suggested were:
1. Update BIOS - latest version 25a here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110-D3A-rev-10#support-dl
2. Change “Max Link Speed” setting from “Auto” to “Gen2” (M.I.T / Miscellaneous Settings / Max Link Speed)
3. Enable Mining Mode (Peripherals)
4. Change "Initial Display Output" setting from "PCIe Slot1" to "IGFX" (Peripherals) - initially I wasn't using on board graphics but seems best option to free up resources.
5. Change “Above 4G Decoding” setting from “Disabled" to “Enabled” if needed (Peripherals) - I have GTX 1070's with 8GB vram soof course I enabled this feature.
6. Windows Update turned off is recommended - I went one step further and ran Spybot Anti-Beacon link: https://www.safer-networking.org/2016/anti-beacon-1-6-available/
7. Go to Control Panel / System and Security / Power Options and select "Choose what the power buttons do". Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable" and disable the "turn on fast startup (recommended)" function.

Also wanted to mention the ability to run a 7th riser on the M.2 slot isn't supported on this model for those considering it. Chart clearly says 6*PCI-E only. If you're considering purchasing this motherboard I can't fault it like OP, although I think like anything it takes patience and doing some research before jumping to conclusions. Here's an interesting review link: http://1stminingrig.com/gigabyte-ga-h110-d3a-review-the-new-best-motherboard-for-mining/ Note down the bottom there are also comments about people overcoming similar issues.

Hi,

so i read through all this thread, got the same board and maybe a similar problem.

What do i use?:
- SMOS

What works:
-  Without any modification 5 GPU´s are being recognized out of the box

Whats the main issue:
 GPU´s in Slot 6 are not being recognized. GPU´s in M2 slot are not being recognized
2a. i had once a 650TI being recognized in Slot6 for whatsoever reason. But i could not reproduce it and it was (obviously) only a test card. (i dont use that for mining, its just laying around)

How do i try to fix the main issue:
- I replaced already riser, usb cables, power and tried with different cards. It´s not related. All works fine for itself but not as 6th card.
- Reading the conclusions of this thread i want to update the Bios. I got the latest bios ready on an USB Stick

Whats the issue to update the bios:
- I see the BIOS Gigabyte Splash screen and if i press "DEL" it stops there, but i cant get past it. Only the spash screen is displayed. I cant enter into the settings part of the bios. The monitor is attached over a VGA Cable (its an old 10" CRT which is fine for console display). Monitor is attached to GPU0 over a signal converterwhich is showing the splash screen.
If i dont press "DEL" it continues to boot (if i have the booting USB SMOS inserted) after the spash screen. If i pressed del as said it just hangs infinitely on the spash screen.

What did i try:
- I tried to reset the bios (with unplugged power cord), i tried to attach different keyboards (ps/2) but the keyboard remains responsiveness (num key) during all the process. i just cant enter inside the settings part of the bios.


Has someone an idea ? Its crazy in my  Farm i have like 0 issues with 0 ROI old low power, 4gig mem PC´s in which use 1-2 expander cards to get the them multi GPU ready. 0 issues on 6+ Card mining rigs using old underlaying hardware with enough pci lanes in combination with 1080ti´s, 1070ti´s and titanium Power supplies.

But oh irony with this dedicated piece of hardware which should work like a charm i have os far most of the issues. My goal is to run 7 GPU´s on it. 6 on the pci 1x and 1 on the M2 (using the white adapter i already installed).

I Connect my monitor and I see image, config all parameter how this line say but when I Connect de gtx don't recognize and I can't see anything

Connect your monitor cable into the motherboard! Thats the first rule of mining..
#2 I hate all Gigabyte motherboards.. I was not sleeping for 2 days straight because those stupid mobos

I have a problem with this MB. I Connect one gtx 1060 in the 16x slot and I can't to see video don't show anything. Someone else have this problem?

Yeah I remember going through this as well. I think I had to load windows for the first time with Mining mode off, then enabling it after installing 1st GPU with drivers. Not sure exactly what I did but didn't take me long to go through. Even now after resetting BIOS, I have no problem with detecting GPUs or loading Windows. It's just my IGPU wont display anything for me.

at the end I got it to work, I got scammed with the pack of 4 risers, received them dead :/
the mayor problem of the H110-D3A that I had, is the Mining mode that didn't want to load windows, don't remember how I solved it.

That's what I followed when I got it runing, but I was more focused on recognising and getting the 6 GPUs to work. I still couldn't get it to use integrated VGA instead. If I enable integrated graphics in bios and choose IGFX as primary display output, I lose both integrated and gpu and have to reset bios after that to get video signal. Have the same issue on 2nd rig with same config as I said. Doesn't seem like a deffective product.

Other than that, I use GPU0 for display, rig is working fine, mining is going well, it just bothers me that it's not right.  

For me works like a charm, I have two of them and no problem at all, have 6 pcs of Gv-1070 gtx on them.
Used uefi win and last bios.
try this https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/462/mining.html

I got this board and at first I had some trouble getting it running properly but this was my first ever rig. Had the same issue as many other people, after loading windows it got stuck on loading screen. But that's somewhat normal, it is detecting GPUs in the meantime, give it a few seconds up to a minute instead of hitting numlock capslock or trying different method to check if PC has frozen.

I plugged 1 GPU at first and set the bios settings properly (enable 4g, mining mode, gen2 etc etc) then installed video drivers and then restarted with 1 more GPU (wait to recognise it), then restart and plug one more (wait to recognise) and so on until you plug all 6 one by one.

The only issue I'm having is it won't force the video on the integrated graphics as long as there is GPU plugged in the PCI-E slot. I enabled integrated gpu in bios and chose it as primary display output, but still nothing. It either displays through PCI-E main slot, or just doesn't display video anywhere. Bios is updated. Also I got 2nd rig recently - exactly same config and mobo - same issue.

So do you have any suggestions what might be the problem? I really don't want to have my video output on one of the GPUs as it affects performance a little bit. Recently heard it might be causing instability with higher overclock which I encountered, it's not all the time, sometimes it's stable for hours, sometimes unstable after couple of minutes. Maybe it's because of the video being on one of the GPUs?

I just found this post and hope that someone can help me please...
My Win 10 Pro 64 doesn't want to detect any of my 4 risers in any PCI-E. Any idea???

MOD your GPUs BIOS and at least use the following clock speeds: gpu 1150/ mem 2100.
You'll get around 175 mhs.

Just an update for everyone using H110-D3A MOBO.
There is a new bios vF25a on the website: https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/462/mining.html

Cost me a few hours but Gigabyte H110-D3A mobo is working with 6x GPU (AMD RX570). using Ethos version 1.29. getting about 160Mh. You must disable onboard VGA and connect monitor to GPU0. Enable mining in bios. Then it works...

So....
My Mobo is actually H110-D3.   non A.
It has 7 PCI slots.

I have kept the F23 Bios which was already installed, so there was not Mining mode available.
I have set up the BIOS as per Gigabyte instructions on the Mining Minisite.
Then I  installed Windows 10 without problems, made all the usual Windows Mods for mining.
Installed 4 Vegas on the mobo on the first 4 slots.
Connected the monitor on 1 vega.
Started the Rig, unistalled previous drivers in safe mode which were previously installed by Windows automatically, since I had an old Nvidia 760 that I used for installing Windows 10.
Installed Blokchain driver.
Crossfire on registry was already disabled.
Applied Soft Power tables 1100 to registry.

Run Cast miner, at full hashing speed and without an itch for few hours now.

It was a very smooth process.

Thank you!
I actually tried that already and got an error message when I attempted to flash the BIOS with F22.
Maybe was a glitch, some mistake of mine or t just does not take older BIOS.
Anyway I am going to just try as you suggested and see what happens.
I want to use it with 4 Vegas.

Cheers.

You might try to use the board any way. If it does not work, then flash it to F22.

Hi all, I bought this MOBO yesterday and it has Bios version F23, which does not have mining mode at all. Yet al the other settings suggested from Gygabite minisite are there.
I assume since BIOS F23 is more recent than (F22) which has mining mode. With this bios it may not need mining mode at all, or is somewhat already supported.

Any though?
