Hello,

I'm trying to built 7x GPU rig with MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard. The problem I faced is that MB is not starting when 2+ GPUs are connected via USB risers. It works only with onboard graphic controller or with only one GPU connected to 16xPCI-E via powered USB riser. Please share what tweaks you make to get 7GPUs work


I have 6 rigs with MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard. All works with 7 AMD cards without any tweaks (plus M.2 SSD). It looks like you have defective motherboard.

Maybe the operating system.

Make sure you use crimson versions 16.10.1 or 16.10.2

@Aries,

I think you mean the $250 case is modified to fit 6 or 7 GPUs whereas the $150 case will not.
Correct?


Either one will hold 6-7 gpu's.  The $150 case will not have the modified brackets.

Check out our website for full modifications:  www.MintMining.com

You should put these custom cases and full rigs on Amazon.com Smiley


And on Ebay. You guys just go and type smth like "GPU frame rig" and check Sold

I'm pretty sure that  AriesIV10's things will be selling well.

I have a store (also a Power Seller, TopRate Plus) - so I'm paying 10% to Ebay and PP for transactions, dont remember how many percents they charged if you have a regular account

Aries are you willing to just sell the 4u cases?

I can sell you the case:

with no modifications for $150
with modifications for $250 plus shipping
Fans are extra at $20 each x 3 = $60



What are the mods with the $250 case compared to the $150 case?

It looks like this case with the front and back swapped and the drive bay taken out to accommodate GPUs.

What if use 7 such multiplerlers with 3 cards in each to build 21-card rig on a single motherboard? What if install 3 multiplers in each multipler resulting in 63 card per rig? Where significant performance drop will appear?

Look at the posting by citronick.  Looks like there are other issues that come into play.

It has been done actually by Nippy -- see this link and see the motherboard (its a USD$2000 PCI extension board for deep learning systems, like Facebook's Project Big Sur)

Its not as straight forward as ... just putting these multiplexors into an array ... you need Linux and special AMD drivers to make this work.... its entirely different animal all together. Claymore even needed to put a new version of ETH miner to support that many cards.

Actually big sur while it does have an expansion board it only uses 8 gpus, although it can run k80s which would then need changes similar to the OSS board, it would still not need much in the way of bios mods to work, rather a small hypervisor kernel change. The stock linux kernel is not happy with OSS boards iirc, and they do have a hard limit of 16 cards(just in the way of how graphics cards are allocated space today). If you want to see an example bios for a system that was made to work with 8+ cards on an amd mobo you should look up fastra II Smiley

I think Big Sur is part of the Open Compute Project so it's OpenSource. Now we need only some small manufacturer (maybe local) who will want to build it  for less money Smiley
