Topic: Gigabyte-GA-H110-D3A Mining board SUCKS! Can't get 6gpu up and running - page 5. (Read 25643 times)

Did you check the power consumption, what PSU? Watts?

Hello
I have quite the same problem.
I use bios version 23a.
UEFI mode, with partition GPT.
I installed Windows 10 pro with mining mode enabled, 4G Decoding on, Gen 2 on i-can't-remember-the-option.
3 GPUs : works fine with every miner.
4 GPUs : can't get to windows, it freezes at windows startup when i the small circle is moving and windows background is displayed.

I tried to install just one GPU. Then a second, go to windows, wait for peripheral to be recognized.
Then a third one.
And at the fourth, boom.

I interchanged the RISER, same bug.
If i try to connect the molex 4P power on the motherboard (shown as PCIE_12V_1 and 2) it doesn't start.
I also tried without mining mode, with or without the IGFX as primary and internal graphic enabled or disabled.

Any ideas ?

Same here.
Got 2 of them for testing and its great, a lot better than the crapy assrock BTC R2.0 boards.

Plug into onboard video, disable audio and serial in bios, 4G decoding off
Disconnect network cable (to prevent auto download of drivers), disable windows update service...
Use DDU under safe mode to remove all graphics drivers
Confirm in Device Manager that the video cards now show up as Microsoft Basic Video
Reboot into bios, enable 4G, save and reboot, power off (don't boot to windows)
Plug in the remaining video cards, all 6 should be plugged in now
Power up, windows will boot up and device manager will show Integrated Intel + 6 Microsoft Basic Video cards
Now install the latest video drivers...
Plug Network Cable back in

I was in a 24h nightmare to setup 5 GPUS with this one, I will recommend you the following:

1. Update to the last BIOS.
2. Do not use "Mining" crappy mode.
3. Setup Windows with an USB Flash Drive, use Rufus to create the bootable drive and use GTP partition to UEFI.
4. Format hard drive using GTP partition (VERY IMPORTANT). If you use MBR partitions, when 4G Decoding will be enabled you will get a big black screen at start up.
5. Setup Windows 10 Pro and drivers with up to 3 GPU (NO MORE), and with 4G Decoding Disabled.
6. Once the first 3 GPU are installed. Turn off and connect the 4th GPU an turn on, go to BIOS and enable 4G and Gen1.
7. Wait for Windows starts and configures 4th GPU. Once it is complete, turn off, and install 5th GPU, and turn on again.
8. Repeat untill 6th GPU.

For this experience, I will never buy this motherboard, Gigabyte, great mobos for gaming, for mining Asrock, Biostar and MSI.

if you enable the mining mod then it does not see the sata disk?

For windows you have to disable the CSM option in BIOS.
It's a great board, rock solid.

I'm using this mainboard too, it's quite stable at mining. But It easy to get trouble on boosting which might be your rig's problem (when I update window to ver.1709, this boosting problem happen again).
So in the boost section, you may try setting it to win (I dont remember exactly the options' name, but if you choose sth like P1.. it may get error).

One of the best boards I ever used.

what windows version you are using? Try to plug your gpu 1 by 1, don't plug your 6 gpu together in one time. after 1, shoot-down your Rig, plug the other one to the next socket......until all your card  detected all by system.

Yes this board really sucks! So I start from the beginning. First of it took me like 3 hours until I got my network running (never had issues on other boards). Installed all drivers (turned on 4g decoding, gen 2) and it turned on but 4 out of 6 failed to mine. So I disconnected 5 cards and flashed the newest(f23)  bios.. Everything looked fine so I connected more cards. When there are 4 cards connected,  cryptonight is working correctly but when i try for example claymore eth,  then 2 of the gpus are not working. Ok, i tried to connect another (5th) gpu. When i started mining with nicehash it always gave me the error "gpu-x failure, disabling.. Gpu-y failure disabling". Always 2 random gpus fail to start mining. In the device manager all 5 gpus showed up correctly, an other thing is that MSI afterburner detects the cards but I cant change anything. I also tested all risers and pci-e slots with only one card and everything was fine. Then I tried reinstalling display drivers (tried like 5 of them) and nothing helped. The only thing that changed is that after the last deinstall (with DDU) I cant even boot into windows, I get only a black screen after the gigabyte logo(when I disabled 4g decoding at that moment it got even stuck at the gigabyte logo). So i've read like most of the threads including this one and couldnt find an answer for my problem. I am going to return this f*cking motherboard and pick up an asus or asrock. Btw, I am running 6x rx570 8gb

install windows in uefi mode with rufus format as gparted!!!

Found your problem. You are running Windows.

Its an excellent board. Easy af to set up. Cheap. The last 5 mobos I purchased have been these and as soon as they're back in stock they are what i'll keep buying.
Literally idiot proof.

Hmmm....the board seems to be rather popular. Maybe it is you that sucks. Anyways, you may want to do a bit more research and testing before posting that something sucks.

I only use this board, i prefer to set it up manually, pci gen 2, primary video igfx, boot set to other os, 4g enabled, igfx enabled, ac always on.  It always worked.
Use the latest bios 23a.

You probably have riser or driver problems.

Plug your VGA Cable monitor to Internal Graphic motherboard, not to GPU Card

If I enable mining mode I can't get to windows. I just see gigabyte logo then black screen... Did you just enable mining mode and nothing else?

Check at bios setting, make sure you Enabled Mining Mode on bios setting

I'm used this Motherboard and work well on my rig
