for which board?
I want to get the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON for 4x Vega 56 and possibly 6 pieces later

who can confirm that the board can handle 6 GPUs?

MSI released a new bios to support "above 4g decoding" that may help to recognize more gpus.



Hello,

I had previously written on this thread that I could not get the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON working with more than 1 card, or even 1 card in some situations.
My problems disappeared when I disabled IOMMU in the BIOS. After I disabled the IOMMU in the BIOS, everything worked correctly, no more kernel issues, and I have been running it with 4 cards for a few months now.

NOTE: It is a gaming oriented card, and has a high power-consumption. This makes it less than ideal for mining, but it gets the job done.
