Title: AMD card not detected. 6 card only 5 detected
Post by: pornluver on July 05, 2017, 12:33:00 PM
How do I even trouble shoot this


- motherboard A88X-G45
- 1 psu 650watt
- 6 VGA 460 sapphire.

6 fans in VGA all running and only 5 detected

I wonder why my VGA only 5 detected ?

I try to turn off claymore. Result is all fan are on despite GPU 0%. Another miracle.

So it's hard for me to know which card is problematic

Only 6 cards show up on device manager, wattool etc.

All fans are running irrelevant of whether I am using them for mining or not.

Something is just wrong.

I suspect the problem is because I am using my PSU sata power cable to power 4 sata risers.

I am using rx 460. My PSU have 650 watt capacity. The whole rig need only 350 watt last time I check.


The 6 pin power is not used because of this.

I had the same issue with Asrock h81 PROBTC motherboard. To solve this issue I had to install a patch for windows 8. I was using windows 8.
Anyway the psu you have is too small for 6 cards. The consum for 1 card is about 120-150W in full load.

I am using windows 10

Does the mothoerboard itself have drivers?

Do the fans keep running too?

Sounds like bad risers.

Unplug all the cards, then plug 1 in at a time until you find out which one has the problem. Then try another card in that riser AND try that card in a different riser.

The card and risers work well on asrock btc. The problem is also made difficult by the fact that all rx 460 fans keep running. So I can't tell which one isn't detected.

That is. Even if claymore is inactive, all the fans are doing 1200 rpm.

All are sapphire rx 460.

I wonder if it's the card or the mobo or what?

It's rx 460 very low power.

What patch did you use?

very likely the riser side issue.

check all connection
check and swap the usb cable
check and swap the riser

i had that issue before and it also can cause memory error with some not so good riser
