Is it possible to make 3x 295X2 working in ONE Rig?

Hey,
like my question says I have three of these monsters in my system running. However, it is impossible to make the third working. I tried every PCI connection and riser adapter but the MSI Z170A will shut down one of three I have 3 on the mobo (most of the time the middle one). After a few seconds it will turn on the GPU again but nothing in the device manager. I had different results sometimes just black and white sometimes the screen keeps changing the resolution until I have to restart. Any idea how to make three running? Huh

There is a lot of talk about the GPU brands etc but what about the other components.  If I wanted to run SIX RX 580s sapphire 8gb what kind of motherboard/PSU/memory/cpu would be recommended to be capable of handling all 6 cards?  What are you guys using in your rigs?
Well, there are so many options out there that is difficult to say. One can't say "Buy Asus model XXX" simply because so many others works just fine.
You need to do a bit of research.
Maybe you wanna buy a mobo with the newest Intel chipset? Maybe you don't...
Obviously you need to make sure that the mobo you're going to buy has at least a mix of 5 PCI lots and 1 M2, or 6 PCI slots, or 4 PCI and 2xM2...
And, for a CPU, I'd go with the cheapest you can find, like a Celeron that fits the architecture of your mobo (generally 1151)
4GB of ram is nough.
PSU will depend on how many GPUs, but generally 850w for 6 cards should do the trick. But, again, you need to check which GPUs you're buying and how much they consume.

Well Like I said I have ordered six Sapphire RX 580s 8gb.   The reason  I asked is because miners aren't like a gaming rig.  I don't need to configure it to suit my complex gaming needs.  I need a miner that just works when it's switched on.  Surely I don't need to research dozens of motherboards?  I just need a solid suggestion for 6 cards.   I used an ASrock H81 Pro BTC R2.0  for my first miner (Six RX470s) but I am hoping there is a better board for my second rig with six RX580s

I am not sure why I would need M2 slots,  are they SSD related?  I have an SSD on my first rig but it's just connected via sata.


I have purchased 2x MSI Z170A Gaming Pro mobos. They should support 7x GPU each.

I can get my hands on 10x Nitro+ Rx 570 for 2500€. Good or bad deal? I am still new to this and what I still don't get is the dependence of the Mhs to the memory. Is it that Hynix is the best, then Samsung and then Epildec (idk how this one was called),... What about Hyper Fury. I have read that this is good as well.

Sorry I am just confused can someone clear this up for me?
