I'm using the EXPLOMOS adapter available on Amazon and it's in the m.2 slot closest to the CPU. The adapter has a 4 pin adapter and looks just like the green ones available. However, I'm not sending any power to the m.2 adapter.

I'm also not running the BIOS from that page. It's the F22i version. There's a newer one available now, but I haven't updated. Not sure it matters, but both of my gaming 7 motherboards are Rev 1.0 and not 1.1.

One last thing - not sure it matters. I have one card directly connected to the motherboard in the x16 slot closest to the CPU. I'm cheap and didn't want to get another riser.

I'm running Win10. Tried Linux once and got frustrated when I couldn't get more than 20Mh/card.

Thanks, I think that my adapter is bad or incompatible. My adapter is the kind without the power connector, it's identical to the 'Leboo M.2 NGFF to USB3.0 PCI-E X16 Slot adapter' on Amazon.

I'm also using the slot closest to the CPU, and also running the mining BIOS but I think I'm going to try the latest non-mining BIOS as it's newer, plus the mining BIOS seems a little unfinished, for example there is no way to disable thunderbolt.

I'm running a rev 1.0 board also, I can try running a card directly in the end x16 slot, but I've ordered a EXPLOMOS type adaptor and I'm going to try that first.

EDIT: EXPLOMOS type adaptor arrived today and it works great, I can now detect and mine with 7 GPU's, thanks dude!

I guess some m.2 adaptors just straight up don't work with certain mobo and riser combos
