hi, I am building a 6 x 580 GPU with msi h270 arctic, My first attempt failed, the mobo only recognized two GPU. what should I do?
I'm trying to spin up some rigs with these boards as well with 8GB RAM onboard.
I'm using SimpleMining OS and have four going now. Nothing I have tried has allowed me to get the last two working. I have tested all risers and cards and can confirm that they all work.
I've followed tips and instructions from this forum and others six ways to Sunday. Here's a good example:
For those waiting on the info for the MSI Z170A M5 Gaming board and 7x GPU support I finally have it working on both of my boards.
1) Make sure you're running the latest BIOS!
2) Enable 4G
3) Set PCIe support to "Auto" - DO NOT MANUALLY SET TO GEN1. THIS CAUSES MAJOR ISSUES
4) Enable onboard graphics startup as first! I believe this is changing "PEG" to "IGD" or something in the Advanced BIOS
5) Plug your monitor into the ONBOARD graphics
6) Use either simpleminer-RX-v1093-4.11.rc8-16.60-enableexe0ANDips0.imgc or simpleminer-RX-v1093-4.11.rc8-16.60-enablerc60.imgc (sorry, I don't remember which I used!)
My 14x GPUs have been stable all night long!
In addition to this, I 've flashed the bios with the most recent version (7A68vA2) and even jumpered the PCI-E slots as shown here:

Anyone else get this board going with 6 (or preferably 8 with m.2 adapters) GPUs?
