I can't get more than 4 working, even with the GPUmod to allow more cards. I'm thinking it's just a crappy chipset...

Sounds like you do not have 'Above 4G Encoding' enabled.

When enable 4G Encoding should use ONBOARD Video or PCIE Video?

4G Encoding should work with 3 GPU? (FOR TEST then try with 5)
PCIE

Hi All,

New info for thouse who installed 6-7 cards but see only 5 in Win10 and you already installed AMD driver.  After all thing according to first page done, you need to do the following:
0) Go to BIOS, then to "Board Explorer" and check that all your cards are visible there. Reboot to Windows.
1) Install Intel Chipset Driver, download from MSI support site. Reboot.
2) Install Intel Management Engine Driver, download from MSI support site. Reboot.
3) Go to Device Manager, remove all RX cards. After some time (several minutes) they are starting to come back. Wait until you see all of them (we have 6). Reboot.
Enjoy.

i'm not quite sure that item 2 is required, but with the above we have 6 cards visible in the system.

try reinstall win10 using any amdgpu as video out from beginning.

Just tried it. Plugged in a single GPU and use that as video output, there's no image on my screen if I enable Windows 10 mode in bios. If I disable windows 10 whql support in bios, it works fine but I can't boot into a windows install or windows itself. If I plug the monitor directly into the onboard hdmi, then everything works fine.

I disabled fast boot and it seems to be working!! I get proper video output from one gpu shown on my monitor with 7 gpus hooked up. However now Device Manager only shows 5 GPUs instead of 7.

Bios settings same as before. All Gen 1 with 4G Enabled
Actually, everyone says that GEN must be "2", but i have the same problem as you - Device Manager shows only 5 GPUs no matter what.

Hi All,
We built the rig with 5 rx480 (no more risers currently) on that mobo and Win10 (driver 16.11.5), but have a problem: MSI Afterburner doesn't show GPU voltage/temperature/load and so on for RX cards.
What i suspect that i set to first initialize cpu's intel graphic card in the BIOS, because we connected monitor to it during install/setup. Maybe this confused afterburner in some way?
So, any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks.

ps: i start Afterburner in the RDP session.
