Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0018

I'm experiencing a slight inconvenience with the system. I have a MSI Z170 Gaming M5 motherboard with 7 GTX 1070 GPUs connected to it. Configured the motherboard as per the instructions and wrote nvOC onto an SSD drive. The system works great when I have only one GPU connected to the motherboard (boots, GUI loads, and it starts mining).

But, once I connect all 7 GPUs, it takes much longer to load and I only get a blank screen. The monitor is connected to the first GPU. The system starts mining after a while but my display remains blank.

Any ideas?

Try to find the "bad" vidocard, pretty sure it has bad riser

I don't think that's the case. All GPUs are mining as we speak.

When above 4g encoding or similar option is enabled (needed for 7 plus gpus), and multiple gpus are used: it is normal for the screen to display all black during boot. It should begin to display when ubuntu finishes loading.

Also the z170 chipset is odd and sometimes the primary GPU isn't the one you expect it to be when using 7 plus GPUs, it is worth connecting the monitor to each GPU and seeing if it has switched the primary display for you.
