Hello, I'm new to the forum,
my configuration:
Intel Celeron G3930 7th gen(Kaby Lake)
MSI GAMING Z170A PRO CARBON
Kingston 8 GB DDR4
Intel 120GB SSD
7x Sapphire Rx 480 8GB OC (with modded bios)
EVGA Supernova 1200w

I installed the new BIOS and then installed the modded one, but every time I try to boot into windows it shows a backlit black screen and whenever I try booting a UEFI install usb it shows the windows loading circles and then backlit black screen. I've left it on for 24 hours with the same result.

Without the 4G decoding the system is fine, but whenever I try turning it on the system just does a backlit blackscreen, also I have PEG0 and PEG1 set to Gen1

What should I do? I'm really desperate right now, any help is appreciated.

Hello,
First, install this bios (A single gpu main port) ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/bk22xpc6afayexc/E7A12IMS.7Z?dl=0
Then install windows in UEFI mode. (Before installing, change the partition of the disk to GPT).
After installing windows. Install Amd driver
reboot.
Now activates 4G on the bios, you do not need to activate or change anything else.
Reboot.
Plug all gpu and wait

Good Luck Sorry my english is not very good

Hello,

just wanted to say that we run sucesfully 7 GPU MSI RX 480 8 GPU on multiple rigs with no problems.

We have custom BIOS that i post in this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bk22xpc6afayexc/E7A12IMS.7Z?dl=0

There is option cryptomining just turn it on.

Important info: it works only on UEFI Win 10.

So be sure you have it.

If you need any help just post it here or send message.

Best regards

cReepas

thanks for good job. i have two rigs. one is running with 7 gpu with this firmware. Other rig is working good with 1.7 stock bios.
I just tried to connect m2 port to a m2 to pcie adapter but system doesn't detect the gpu connected to the adapter... does anybody knows some bios mod or additional setting to get it works or it depends from hardware/chipset limitations? thanks for helping.

Hi everyone,

With the shortage of the asrock h81 pro btc board, I started looking at some alternatives, one of which is this board.

I know people are able to do a bios update and run 7 rx400 cards on the mobo. My questions is, how do I properly power 7 470 cards and risers from an EVGA g2 1300W PSU? Is there a post on this forum explaining that, that I might have missed?

Thanks

If you have the same EVGA that I have - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438011 - it has connectors for 8 GPUs, as long as at least 2 of them are only 6 pin (instead of 8 pin) GPUs. If you are using powered risers they would either be connected with molex connectors or with 6 pin to sata adapters. I am using these risers so far - http://www.parallelminer.com/product/ithoo-usb3-0-pci-express-1x-to-16x-extender-riser-card-adapter-w-24-cable/ - Hope that helps.

Yup, that's the PSU. So the 7th GPU goes into the second CPU slot? I am looking at the 570's, and they all come with 8 pins

HI guys, I wondered if any of you know about issue when pcie_05 doesn't detect GPU on a riser. Tried with many different risers and it doesn't detect it at all, linux and windows. When I put whole GPU inside it works. tnx

Hello,

I flashed with cReepas bios mod but a problem keeps happening.
Device manager see the 7 GPU and the UEFI OS boot perfect (w10) everything seems to be Ok.

Then i run Claymore, when it's setting DAG for GPU0, it gives error:
GPU 0, OpenCL error -4 (0) - cannot create DAG on GPU

Sometimes it's GPU0, GPU2, GPU3...
The thing is that Claymore won't work with 7 GPU, just with 6.

After it start mining, WATCHDOG Error and the miner restart.

Have 2 RIG with this error, both of them with cReepas bios mod.

When i disable 1 GPU in device manager (anyone), Claymore start mining perfectly.

I'm using Crimson 16.9.2. Win 10. Sap Nitro+ RX 480 8GB OC. Z170A Carbon. EVGA 1600w. 4GB DDR4. Intel G4400.

What do you think guys? Why is this happening?

Added cReepas to skype btw

Guys,

just download the bios.

Only setting you need to turn on is Cryptocurrecy mining to enable.

BE SURE you have WINDOWS 10 in UEFI mode instaled.

I have instaled 30+ rigs all with 7 cards and it just works fine. All mobo there are MSI Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON 7GPU.

All cards i have in rigs are MSI RX 480 Gaming 8 GB.

It will work even with other cards as well. No need to adjust any other bios setings. Only think you need is to enable cryptocurrency mining.

Thats it.

If anything write me on skype... cReepas.

Best regards

cReepas

what are you talking about lol there is no such setting "Cryptocurrecy mining" in any brand of bios MSI or otherwise

i got a MSI Z270-A Pro yesterday and installed it, and in the bios, just like that guy, there is that pcie settings : 4gb decoding / crypto mining
before it used to say only 4gb decoding.

i enabled it as well and system works very well with only 4 rx 480 for now. tonight i'm gonna try to add a 5th and a 6th card in it.

Has anyone used this mobo with the simple mining OS installed? I'm planning on picking up a few, but not if 7 GPUs works only in Windows. @Rocketron's issues with ethOS has me concerned that any linux OS might have problems with this mobo.

I also cannot get more than 4 gpu working in ethos on the gaming pro carbon. Has anyone managed to get it working ?

I really don't want to use win 10. And I have 4gb ram is that ok.
