Anyone using the MSI Z170-A Pro for more than 4 GPUs?

I've got mine set to Gen 1 and >4GB in the BIOS. All the cards show up fine and Claymore recognizes all of them, but when Claymore starts and gets to Create GPU Buffer on the last card (GPU0), the system hangs.

I'm on Win10 Anniversary with latest Nvidia drivers. I've got 4GB RAM installed and virtual memory set to 16GB (16384MB). These are all EVGA GTX 1060 SC 3GB Cards.

Any ideas?

i dont like Windows for mining... but
what psu do you have?
are gpus on stock settings?

I have that motherboard and i am mining with 6 gpu as well...
I remember i had to update the bios to the last version and enable the 4g decoding
I have to check when i go in the office for be sure.
But it run 6 gpu very good

I have the same Mainboard.
I run 7GPUs GTX 1070 on that.

Here a great Youtube Video about Bios settings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR-FkpU2KfI

I have 4GB RAM, Windows 10 X64

I had some troubles. So I had to install Windows 10 in UEFI Modus with GPT.

Oh yes i forgot you have to transform windows 10 in uefi mode gpt. If you have difficulty in this you can use aoemi partition assistant it will transform your mbr into gpt in 3 seconds without struggling....

I had to transform gpt hard drive and boot for all my rigs otherwise you won't be able to use more than 4 gpu

Thanks for these suggestions. I'll give them a try tonight. Yes, even at stock settings can't get past the Create Buffer step before a hard hang

I'm starting to think it might be the PSU's. I'm running two RaidMax 850W Gold PSUs. Maybe it's not liking that.
