Title: ASUS Z270 >6 GPU Linux ?
Post by: omnip_1 on June 07, 2017, 05:25:53 PM
Has anyone gotten UBUNTU 16.04 to run >6 GPU's on a Z270 ASUS?

4g decoding, latest bios, PEG set, PCI speed @ 2.

With 5 cards, I see the bios boot and it runs.

With 6 cards, I can't see the bios but it still boots ubuntu but kinda runs slow. Mines fine.

With 7 cards, system won't boot.

well I hope that is not the case, because I got the z270 Prime and everybody here said it worked with 8

The other issue I'm having is the 1x to 16x riser cards don't want to work in the 16x slots. The system won't post.

I have 6 cards running like this with ubuntu using the 1-3 extender off a 16x port, but it did crash after 9 hours it looks like.

I'm running 7 cards today with EthOS. BIOS doesn't post at all. But system boots up and runs.
