I'm beginning to believe my motherboard is not capable of handling more than 2 cards ugh! Msi z170a gaming pro carbon either on boot (windows 8 or 10) doesn't recognize cards, afterburner doesn't show temps and card crashes or opencl hangs on miner

I got a Z170 board not knowing issues. It will see and mine with 4 GPUs no problem (470/480), though if you try 5, it will lock up at bios, even though board has 7 slots. I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128838 Then I just decided to get H81 BTC pro boards (harder to find).

This MSI Z97 works just as good as an H81 BTC - cheaper in most cases - plus it has 7 pcie slots - I have 2 rigs with this board and 7 RX480's each. Works great.

anel and cooling (in summer, Georgia), but I can recommend to friends.

For that Motherboard, do you need to short the A1B17 manually or it is automatic like the ASrock boards?

You do not need to short anything. Just make sure your PSU and O/S can handle 7 cards - I'm using Ubuntu 16.4.1/Win 10 dual boot and a 1600W T2 PSU
