Title: MOBO not detecting GPU's Post by: bitjet on March 16, 2013, 02:27:04 PM Hey guys, so my old mobo died on me. It was a foxcon board and worked well mining off of mini pci-e slots.
However this new board will not detect any of my gpus while on the mini pci-e slots. Regular pci-e slots work. Any advice? BOARD: MSI NF750-G55 PIC-E extender cables Win7 32 ATI 5870's Thanks! Title: Re: MOBO not detecting GPU's Post by: Bogart on March 16, 2013, 03:20:56 PM er...wat?
I sure don't see any mini-PCIe sockets in the photos of that board on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130235 I've never heard of an extender cable for mini-PCIe... Edit: Do you mean that the x1 slots are not detecting your cards? Maybe you need to jumper A1 to B17: http://blog.zorinaq.com/images/pcie-short-schematic.png http://blog.zorinaq.com/images/pcie-short-photo.jpg Source: http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=42 Title: Re: MOBO not detecting GPU's Post by: bitjet on March 16, 2013, 07:22:50 PM Yes that is exactly what I meant. I thought those were called mini pci-e, but now thinking about it mini is for laptops right? Thank you. I will give that jumper a try!

Title: Re: MOBO not detecting GPU's Post by: bitjet on March 17, 2013, 11:01:18 PM OK new problem. Now my 5970 go dead on both cores after about 20 minutes if that wire is in place. That's really weird but it seems to be the problem. I dont really know what to do about that. Any chance it could be the fact Im running latest SDK? (i think, just downloaded the driver installer and used whatever it installed)

Title: Re: MOBO not detecting GPU's Post by: bitjet on March 18, 2013, 02:21:11 AM temps are fine, gpu's mid 60's and vrms 70-80.
Title: Re: MOBO not detecting GPU's Post by: solosequenosenada on March 18, 2013, 08:58:52 PM thank you, that seemed to work! I try the same but didnt work. My mobo is a MSI 970A-G46 latest bios.Title: Re: MOBO not detecting GPU's Post by: kpriess on March 19, 2013, 06:45:15 PM are you using powered extenders..?
Title: Re: MOBO not detecting GPU's Post by: bitjet on March 21, 2013, 07:26:16 AM are you using powered extenders..? no but the only card on an extender is a single underclocked 5850. The 5970 and 5870 are on the main PCI-e slots.
