Topic: Trying to run more than 8 1080tis on Asus B250, halp pls (Read 104 times)
oops sorry
Hey everyone
1st post so apologies off the bat if I mess up
Am trying to build a 12 x 1080ti rig. Have 8 cards running stable, issue is when we try to add more than that, system crashes.
Using:
PNY GeForce 1080ti
Asus B250 mobo
HP 1200W PSU (x3)
Corsair TX550M PSU
2 x 4gb RAM
Intel Pentium cpu (forget which)
Running SMOS, 50/300/200W. HP PSUs running the GPUs and risers, Corsair PSU just for the mobo.
One thing I thought it might be which I haven't tested yet due to not having the right cable, is that the mobo has 3 x 24 pin PCIe slots (1 for each bank of 6 PCIe slots). The Corsair only has 1 24pin so we only have one of the 3 connected. Do you have to power each of the 3 if you have more than 6 gpus connected? If so, would a 24 pin Y splitter work?
Have also seen some conflicting advice, asus saying maximum of 8 Nvidia cards, but YT vids aplenty showing 12 or more 1080tis on same mobo.
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks a million!
