I want to buy new version MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon or Asus Prime Z270-A.
Do you think that it will be working with all PCIE slots (6/7 GPUs)?

I've got asus z270-a. 7 gpu works fine

What BIOS settings? How much RAM in your GPUs?

I have same MB and can only run 4 GPUs

pc ram - 4gb
7 x rx480 8gb

I dont know what exactly helped to run 7 gpu, but here what I changed:
above 4g decoding - enabled
pcie switch to gen 1
dmi max link speed switch to gen1
disable all sata, which is not used
disable all usb, with is not used

I have a MSI Z170A mobo.

I have gotten 6 cards to be detected. But 6th card does not behave properly. Fans run at 100% and it mines very low hashrate. Now 6th card is only detected if it is plugged into 16x PCI slot E_2 (silver colored) SLI slot. If it is plugged into E_5 the other silver SLI x16 slot, it is not detected. Even when I put 7th card, 7th card is not detected in E_5 and GPU in E_2 still runs fans at 100% and very low hash rate.

Anyone know what is going on and how to fix?

Hi first thanks for that information but you think that i can put 7 R9 Fury?

Don't waste your breath with this, numerous others on this forum have tried and wasted money on a 150$ motherboard that only holds 4 cards. This thread was probably created to boost sales or something, who knows.

FYI, I have have sapphire rx480 nitro+ 4gb and setting gen1 and above 4g locks my computer up. I had to set them back to defaults, I have not tested 7 cards yet. This is the msi z170a pro gaming carbon with 8 gb of 2300 ram and a g4400 pentium proc

Would it be possible for someone to share a setup that got more than 4 cards working on the msi z170a gaming pro carbon, no matter what I try, linux crashes at boot with 5. All the tricks in the walk through did not work

Hello team, I am really hoping someone can help here. I am on my second MSI z170A carbon and I can not get a boot screen to show up. I have followed the guide and not installed any gpu's and am using the onboard HDMI and tried the onboard dvi. Tried 2 different monitors, also 2 sets of ram and 2 different procs. When I watch both of them boot i see the diagnostic lights flash for ram and cpu but never for vga. I have reset the cmos. Am I missing something here?

Proc: Intel BX80677G3930 7th Gen Celeron Desktop Processors
Mem: Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 DIMM Desktop Memory (HX421C14FBK2/8)
Tried memory with just 1 stick in slot 2

The rx cards take more power from the pcie slot compared to previous generation cards. The sata connectors have a high rate of arching which can melt the connector and give you problems. Newer version risers use 6 pin pcie cables for power which I have had the best luck with. Also when viewing with the flir they run cool and haven't given me any problems. I have some sata to molex that start to melt the sheathing (of the molex side) with rx cards and melt in the same spot. Now I scan with the flir and can see temps rising before the sheathing melts.
