For this to work, does it require Win 10 in UEFI ?

Hi, my rig is msi z170m5 +7msiRx580gamingX+
All is working perfect and 0 errors in hwinfo.
But my rig shuts down always, sometimes in 1h, others in4h... Cant find the reason, i dual mine etc+sia and only 2 cards are 84° the others are under 75°. Watt is around 1580 and my psu is 1700w enermax.
Anyone having such troubles?
More RIGdata: Win10x64, 8GbRam, 32Gb VirtualfileSwap. and IntelSkylake. I tried 5 amd drivers, and shuts down with any driver.

Hi, I would like to say that is not true about CPU.
I have Intel Celeron G3930 - it's Kaby Lake and I run on 7gpus (rx480-8g).

I can't get more than 4 working, even with the GPUmod to allow more cards. I'm thinking it's just a crappy chipset...

Sounds like you do not have 'Above 4G Encoding' enabled.

When enable 4G Encoding should use ONBOARD Video or PCIE Video?

4G Encoding should work with 3 GPU? (FOR TEST then try with 5)
PCIE

Similar problem with h270 prime (asus)

Got 2 rigs g4560, Asus h270 Prime, 8gb ram & x6 470 8gb

Above 4G enabled in bios, Pci set in Gen1 wherever possible.



Both rigs work with all Six gpu with smOS.

Windows 10 enterprise boots only when 5 GPU are connected, as soon as I connect a 6th they Crash on Boot with ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NOEXECUTE MEMORY


Whichever gpu I disconnect and leave 5 online, windows boots all 5 cards recognized....


Does anyone know about this issue;

Does the display show artifacs when Above 4G Decoding set to Enabled is normal? I turn off the computer when I see them should I wait?

 Huh

If not active 4G when connecting the fifth GPU appears a memory error, did it happen?

 Huh

Can somebody film the startup of the miner?

Hi All,

New info for thouse who installed 6-7 cards but see only 5 in Win10 and you already installed AMD driver.  After all thing according to first page done, you need to do the following:
0) Go to BIOS, then to "Board Explorer" and check that all your cards are visible there. Reboot to Windows.
1) Install Intel Chipset Driver, download from MSI support site. Reboot.
2) Install Intel Management Engine Driver, download from MSI support site. Reboot.
3) Go to Device Manager, remove all RX cards. After some time (several minutes) they are starting to come back. Wait until you see all of them (we have 6). Reboot.
Enjoy.

i'm not quite sure that item 2 is required, but with the above we have 6 cards visible in the system.

try reinstall win10 using any amdgpu as video out from beginning.

Just tried it. Plugged in a single GPU and use that as video output, there's no image on my screen if I enable Windows 10 mode in bios. If I disable windows 10 whql support in bios, it works fine but I can't boot into a windows install or windows itself. If I plug the monitor directly into the onboard hdmi, then everything works fine.

I disabled fast boot and it seems to be working!! I get proper video output from one gpu shown on my monitor with 7 gpus hooked up. However now Device Manager only shows 5 GPUs instead of 7.

Bios settings same as before. All Gen 1 with 4G Enabled
Actually, everyone says that GEN must be "2", but i have the same problem as you - Device Manager shows only 5 GPUs no matter what.

 CPU - I have a G3900 skylake - confirmed with CPU-ID

 Did anyone follow the guide with flashing the bios with a HDMI cord plugged in. Are used to DVI the whole time on one of the cards

Hello,

Same board

LGA1151 G3900 Skylake 4GB of Ram 2133mhz ddr4 AMD 3 480oc and 1x 480gaming x, I can't get past 3 cards

PEG0 & PEG1 Currently set to GEN2
I have Windows 10 turned on in bios and the rest disabled
4G Decoding : enabled
UEFI/GPT is setup properly drivers are 16.9.2

I have 3 cards connected, the 4th stops the system from booting up.

Risers : 3 are version 006 and my new ones are version 007.

Anything I might of missed? I've been very thorough or so I feel...

I've lost a lot of sleep.  Huh

1. you may try a skylake CPU?
2. I had problem with 4 1080 Ti too, you must put three GPUs first on the three full-length PCIEs, then try adding the last GPU on different 1xPCIE. I have two slots not working for my four GPUs setting.

just received my risers and setup 6 GPUs on this board with manufacturer bios 1.D no problem

My rig:

G4400
MSIZ170 M5
8G Ram
120G SSD
1300W PSU
4 X 1080 Ti FE + 2 X 1070 AIB (should get 1600W PSU to support 6 X 1080 Ti)
WIN10pro

I firstly installed 4 X 1080 Ti, and found PCIE 1 & 3 not working with 4 card setting, I only got them working in PCIE 2/4/5/6/7 (don't understand why), or the motherboard only recognized 3 cards.

Luck I added two extra 1070s without any problem, so now I am using PCIE 2~7

I am having an issue with this board and it's driving me nuts.

I'm using a G3900 skylake. If I enable Windows 10 mode and leave my GPU's plugged in, the screen stays dark and won't boot.

I have to unplug all my gpu's and plug my monitor into the onboard hdmi to get any image.

If I disable Windows 10 mode I am able to see the screen turn on and get into bios, but it won't boot into the windows installer.

I'm currently installing Windows 10 in GPT mode with all the GPUs unplugged and using the onboard graphics to my monitor.

I have bios set exactly as everyone else here: PEG 1 and 2 to Gen 1 and 4G Enabled


Can someone write an exact step by step on how to set up this board with 7 gpu?

No matter what I do if I connect the 7 gpus I don't get any kind of image on my monitor through HDMI connected to any of the 7 cards.
