I read on this group people that run 8 with z270 chip, with m2 to pcie or usb extender Title: Re: 8 and more gpus on new chipsets Post by: philipma1957 on April 16, 2017, 02:32:00 PM Does anyone testing to run more then 7 RX 4xx gpus on B250/H270/Z270 motherboards? no 7 is the basic limit. I read on this group people that run 8 with z270 chip, with m2 to pcie or usb extender yep but that is not a basic setup. Some have done up to 8 with pcie splitter But 7 is the basic limit. And most will tell 5 or 6 makes more sense.

The one I got from ebay did not and I was refunded. Not even if the system has only one gpu installed. So except for people that has modified custom MB I don't know of anyone who is has gotten more than 7 rx cards working.

You get one or the other. Title: Re: 8 and more gpus on new chipsets Post by: Vann on June 09, 2017, 08:54:14 AM I have not seen anyone that has gotten a gpu to work via an M. 2 to PCI-e adapter.

The ASUS Z270 PRIME A / AR is verified to do 9 cards, 264 MH/s per rig if you add M.2 to PCI-E expansion adapters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ-EAunoAqY Title: Re: 8 and more gpus on new chipsets Post by: erk on June 09, 2017, 08:59:27 AM I have not seen anyone that has gotten a gpu to work via an M. 2 to PCI-e adapter.

They work. https://www.nicehash.com/?p=news&id=155 Of course you enter the problem with power supplies at a high enough rating, in which case it's usually easier to build two rigs with more affordable components etc. Title: Re: 8 and more gpus on new chipsets Post by: avirdoz on June 09, 2017, 09:10:00 AM Soon we can try asrock mb with 14 pci-e 8)

A server PSU or dual PSU setup is also an option. Title: Re: 8 and more gpus on new chipsets Post by: 2econd on June 09, 2017, 09:26:15 AM 8 GPUs on Z270 Prime was easy.
