It finally works here.. Speed is "ok" for RX 480's..

My Z170 only runs with 3 RX480s.. As soon as I put it int 4.th the board doesn't boot - it seems there is a conflict with the SATA port or so - no HD is recognized anymore. I already tried to disable the Internal GPU, HD Audio etc. everything in BIOS but it doesn't help.. Seems this shitty board can only run 3 cards at once.
did you update the bios? helps with some boards to get a 4th or 5th card working, what brand is it?
Yes, board is at latest bios, gpus are all stock and sapphire nitros
I have tried the MSI Z170 and the ASUS Z170 models and had the same issues along with burning one out after undervolting some of the gpus. After hours of trying got 5 gpu's to work, but I will NEVER get those motherboards again! I eventually took the motherboards back.
Yeah I wasnt aware they are THAT bad.
Do you remember how you got 5 working?it fails for me with the 4th already
Hi, whit Z170 and Skylake i have same problem, but i have try different solution ... if you want run max 4 GPU you need 16 GB of RAM and TLOUD option in bios in Auto ... and 4 GPU working fine! Afther i have tested whit 24 GB of RAM (2x8 and 2x4) setting TLOUD option in 3,5 GB max value accepted and my 5 GPU on z170 skylake working fine ... at this point if i add the 6th GPU i have memory error "d5" and i need reset bios ... but 5 GPU working fine!!! I think is a question of RAM ... and i think if i run 32gb of run i can use all 6 PCI slot ..
