will sky lake dual core work ?
Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake Dual-Core 3.3GHz LGA 1151 ??

can u tell me which processor u were using first ? I don,t want to fall into the same problem

i tried with i3 6500 but gonna try with G4400 in few days. I ordered today
I will tell you if it works

awaiting your feed back .... who knows I might give my feed back first ... we already have the board but GPUz isn't, available yet .

I am waiting for the Intel Celeron G3900 Skylake in the mail. Should be able to get everything up and running to see how it goes.

some people claim that g3900 also work with 7 GPU ,,, but i don,y trust his word much ..

if anybody here can try we would appriciate it .

talat PMed me his G4400 was working quite well.

I can confirm the G4400 works perfectly on 7 GPU rigs

I just placed an order for the Z170-M5 Grin

.

I could not find MSI-Z170 carbon or Biostar TB250 anywhere around, was actually planning to pair G4560 to one of the two boards before reading this posts. Really appreciate your update for G4400.

Here are several dual core Skylake CPUs that should work. The prices may not be the same in your country, but just look for one of the cheapest dual core options and you will be fine.

Solved the issue. here is what i did;
Go to BIOS and update the bios to 1.D version
then go to Settings>Advanced>PCI subsystem Setting
Above 4G Decoding set to Enabled

But very important:
I was using Kabylake CPU (Pentium G4560)
Because of that i failed. Then i tried Skylake series CPU i3 6500 and boom. i mined with 7 GPUs.

If you use Kabylake u can mine only with 4 GPUs
I was in trouble because of that.

Have an MSI Z170A Gaming here as well, while I have no problems with other 170 boards that one causes real problems above 4 GPU, seeing PCI bus issues with the risers... Some others I have tried work much better...

I think it is CPU based problem.
I'm using G4560 - Kaby Lake series CPU
Skylake series may not create a problem. ı'm gonna try and give you the results guys.

The problem is that you're running 470's...

You can't get more than 4 470's working in a single mobo without a little magic...you've got to use nvidia cards or 480's for the other gpu's.

Generally best to do 3-4 470's per build.

you can do it with the 470's there is no difference in the driver and it is the same process if it is 470, 480 or nvidia.

In theory, yes...In practice not so much.

There absolutely no difference with 470 cards.
Running rigs with 6 of them with no problems at all.

My Z170a (gaming pro carbon) does 7gpu. I think this should work too but it may take some tinkering like mine did
