Hi,

Anyone been able to get 5 or 6 GTX 1070s to detect under windows?
I've successfully got rigs with 6+ AMD GPUs but can't seem to get the NVIDIA cards to the same.

Currently setup is:
-G3950 celeron
-8GB DDR4
-60GB SSD
-4xMSI ARMOUR 8GB GTX 1070
-MSI Z270-A PRO MB
-EVGA GQ 1000W Gold+ PSU

As far as I know (correct if wrong), a 5th GPU should run on 1000W? I know 6 won't and next week I'll be dual running two x 750W PSUs to handle it but for test purposes I believe 5 1070s should run in 1000W at stock settings.

I have tried enabling 4G in BIOS, PCI Gen 1 in BIOS
Cannot seem to get the card to even show in device manager in Windows.

Tried swapping Risers to new ones, power cables etc.  How can I determine if this is a PSU issue vs other issue?

EDIT:
We tried a few more risers and cables and now it shows up so I think it was a dodgy couple risers.  4G Enabled and PCI Gen 1 on MSI mobo all 5 display in DevMgr and mine now

Cheers
