Hi,
so i read through all this thread, got the same board and maybe a similar problem.
What do i use?:
- SMOS
What works:
- Without any modification 5 GPU´s are being recognized out of the box
Whats the main issue:
GPU´s in Slot 6 are not being recognized. GPU´s in M2 slot are not being recognized
2a. i had once a 650TI being recognized in Slot6 for whatsoever reason. But i could not reproduce it and it was (obviously) only a test card. (i dont use that for mining, its just laying around)
How do i try to fix the main issue:
- I replaced already riser, usb cables, power and tried with different cards. It´s not related. All works fine for itself but not as 6th card.
- Reading the conclusions of this thread i want to update the Bios. I got the latest bios ready on an USB Stick
Whats the issue to update the bios:
- I see the BIOS Gigabyte Splash screen and if i press "DEL" it stops there, but i cant get past it. Only the spash screen is displayed. I cant enter into the settings part of the bios. The monitor is attached over a VGA Cable (its an old 10" CRT which is fine for console display). Monitor is attached to GPU0 over a signal converterwhich is showing the splash screen.
If i dont press "DEL" it continues to boot (if i have the booting USB SMOS inserted) after the spash screen. If i pressed del as said it just hangs infinitely on the spash screen.
What did i try:
- I tried to reset the bios (with unplugged power cord), i tried to attach different keyboards (ps/2) but the keyboard remains responsiveness (num key) during all the process. i just cant enter inside the settings part of the bios.
Has someone an idea ? Its crazy in my Farm i have like 0 issues with 0 ROI old low power, 4gig mem PC´s in which use 1-2 expander cards to get the them multi GPU ready. 0 issues on 6+ Card mining rigs using old underlaying hardware with enough pci lanes in combination with 1080ti´s, 1070ti´s and titanium Power supplies.
But oh irony with this dedicated piece of hardware which should work like a charm i have os far most of the issues. My goal is to run 7 GPU´s on it. 6 on the pci 1x and 1 on the M2 (using the white adapter i already installed).
