Re: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON 7GPU

Hello, I'm new to the forum,
my configuration:
Intel Celeron G3930 7th gen(Kaby Lake)
MSI GAMING Z170A PRO CARBON
Kingston 8 GB DDR4
Intel 120GB SSD
7x Sapphire Rx 480 8GB OC (with modded bios)
EVGA Supernova 1200w

I installed the new BIOS and then installed the modded one, but every time I try to boot into windows it shows a backlit black screen and whenever I try booting a UEFI install usb it shows the windows loading circles and then backlit black screen. I've left it on for 24 hours with the same result.

Without the 4G decoding the system is fine, but whenever I try turning it on the system just does a backlit blackscreen, also I have PEG0 and PEG1 set to Gen1


What should I do? I'm really desperate right now, any help is appreciated.


I had much better luck using a Sky Lake Pentium G4400 CPU with this board and 7 GPU.  Couldn't get a Kaby Lake Celeron G3930 to work with 7 GPU.  Has anyone??  I read somewhere that Sky Lake was needed and it indeed fixed my issues.

@magnoman that is certainly a tip... where could you possibly read that?.   I am running 6xRX580 GPU and having problems with the 7th on the Celeron G3900 on Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon.    Using @creepas BIOS of course.

Also, every time I've tried to use Afterburner with a 7-GPU rig, the whole thing crashed after it applied OC's to the 7th card. There must be some limitation there.

Seems we are on the same boat.   Why the 7th card has to be a problem?.   I ended up NOT using Afterburner at all.     Yes there must be an issue there with AB and the RX5xx drivers.   At this moment I set all OC and Undervolt on Claymore even though sometimes cards do not take it right away.   Known issue of Claymore.
