Hello guys,

I need your help to setup 6x GPU in my rig.

I have:
  • 4x RX470 XFX
  • 1x RX470 MSI
  • 1x RX570 Sapphire

When I put all together the Windows 10 won't start, the login freezes or I get black screen.

I have tried putting only the 4 XFX and they are working after patching.

I will give you a tip if all 6GPU works at the same time Smiley

Motherboard: MSI Z170a gaming

I use MSI z170a gaming pro carbon in my 7 GPU rig and recently wrote about it:

A few things to check first
1 Your cpu: is it skylake? kabylake does not work I've heard
2 Mobo bios: must be v 1.7 or above
3 is your windows UEFI enabled? if not it won't work.

A few things to try:
1 uninstall your current driver, use AMD driver cleaning tool

2 restart and in bios setting, disable 4g decoding in PCI settings

3 You should be able to boot into windows now. Download Radeon driver 17.5.2 (which I use and it works, newer ones may also work), install it. You should see in device manager cards recognized by some may have question marks on them.

4 restart and in mobo bios, enable 4g decoding

5 boot into windows and wait for it to recognize and set up all cards.

Should work now. Hope this helps.
