@djentmining Did you use some kind of PCI-E splitter to get a 7th in there? Is that the maximum for those mobo?

Yeah the asus maximus viii hero only has 1x M.2 so max is 7 cards. Using NGFF to PCI-E X4 slot adapter got them from amazon. Plug and play no need to connect the 4 pin power that comes with it.
You can get the Asus Prime Z270-A has 2x M.2 gives you a total of 9 cards pretty cool plus them asus boards are so easy to setup and mine better than asrock and biostar.

Tell me how it goes if you decided to get one.

Cheers.

I have an Asus Maximus Hero VII, and if you enable M.2 socket you loose the PCIEX1_1-3. There's no way you have the 7 connectors at the same time on. either you loose M.2 or you loose PCIEX_1-3. you Don't you have the same behavior on your Hero VIII?

You should use skylake CPU.
Here is the solution.

You should probably ask for the settings that that guy used and it should work. If not, you should seek help to the computer store where you bought that.

No problem now, it works perfectly.

to run 6 gpu in 4g mode you have to install windows in uefi mode

Have you installed drivers for that mobo first?

No, i am using Linux, no drivers needed.

Little update. I had to switch all PCI-E to Gen2, because it wasn't always starting robust. Another notice - when you send system to shutdown, it isn't shutting down actually, but enters in some stuck state.

Hello

I have, and work with 6 GPU without problem on SMOS after bios update and some setting changed.
I am trying for a 7th GPU on M2 RISER, but some problem for overclock....

Just bought this MB, from box it's really doesn't work even with 1 card thru raiser. And it haves old BIOS 2202 which dated 2016/09/26. I upgraded it to latest BIOS 3703 and it worked fine with my 5 GPUs without any tuning.

I use maximus 7 ranger, and I can only manage to get more than 5 gpu with not using overclock even XMP ram (2100 ram only 1600 now)

Overclock has nothing to do with the mb detecting cards bro! plus why would you OC your RAM just leave it at default should be 2133MHz

This is what i understood from you post unless i've missed something please elaborate would be happy to help

Default on DDR3 is 1600, even auto OC (XMP) will make my motherboard just silent when start (not post), must reset bios.

Can you list the parts you're using for your rig please.

Thanks

Actually this rig is gaming rig before.
Asus Maximus VII Ranger, I7 4790k 4.4Ghz (before 4.8GHz) and 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 (before I used to OC it to 2100 or 2133).
I think still better using H110/B250 Mining other than another gaming board.
So what make my rig can get more than 5 GPU is, reset bios to normal, change cpu core to 4.4 skip XMP for ram (if I change to XMP motherboard wont post) enable 4G, change to gen1 even all other setting, save and restart.

To Hash or not to Hash, that's what the question

In some bioses there is an option for MULTI MONITOR SUPPORT - make sure you will enable that one too.
If you have PCIE GEN option that says AUTO, i would leave it unchanged.
