i see on picture is six gpu 
but you tell only 5 why
but you tell only 5 why
I cannot get the 6th GPU to be recognized by W8.1
Some tips to try fix it from fellow forum members which I will try this weekend.
Just use this mod : https://lbr.id.lv/6xgpu_mod/6xGPU_mod.html
thanks for the link - appreciate it.
I think this was one of the tips, but the thread is no longer available in the Litecointalk forum.
if you see a litecointalk link.. copy paste into browser and add archive.. like this..https://archive.litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=11761.0

Edit.. btw cool rig:) mine arent so nicely compact as that.. would you have a thread that goes over the parts you used to setup the machine.. Ive already scored finding a line on pcie 1x - 16x risers and on the h81 probtc mobo.. those are sweet setups for this.. im on my 3rd rig now im pushing 400 mhs atm. ive been buying up used 290 (x) off ebay.> been a good bargain and can roi within 2 months:)/ Im most interested in that rack you made.. That is something ive been looking at building yet i dont know where to start and i know others have gone thru this before. I like that they are adjustable.. Any info id really appreciate it.. thanks again
Edit id suggest you go solo if you have a good internet connection.. Ive been killing it since i moved off the pools. just need geth and eth proxy by sammy007 and your set.. You also run way more efficient.. Ive got mine setup to refresh every 50 ms for the proxy so im on new blocks very fast. I could go lower but 20 ms seemed to be my threshold for a 8 core 4 ghz puter. anyway once you get past a couple hundred mh/s id really think about it..
ohh and i just bought some of these for my rigs so that they would boot properly.. what a pain that was for a noob on the gpu rigs.. http://www.amazon.com/CompuLab-fit-Headless-Display-Emulator/dp/B00FLZXGJ6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
thanks for the advice Doug - Brutus is phase 1 of my project. Olive, Popeye and Seahag will join him in the next week or so when all the parts arrive to complete Phase 2.
With the 6th GPU likely solved this weekend. Potentially this beast will be a 720MH ETH monster with no OC. That's 24 x MSI R9 390 humming in a single open cage drawing 6400 watts of power.
Many forum members have PM me on the rig detail. This is my first ETH rig (well, first serious multi GPU system) so I am also learning as I go. I got good help from experienced members like thedreamer in setting up Brutus. A few mistakes here and there, esp missing the headless adapter thingy. I am sourcing parts from US and China to keep costs down....
I hope to get the solo mining ready soon - Brutus is currently pool mining. Will post the finished product when ready.
