Title: 6x 1060 MSI GeForce 6gb rig
Post by: RigbyDigby on July 08, 2017, 02:59:35 AM
I am currently building a rig with 6x 1060 MSI GeForce 6gb rig.  I am currently booted in and have windows OS active and am able to load 5 of the 6 cards currently.  I was wondering if anyone know's why the 6th gpu wont run.  Essentially i have 5 of the gpus working but the 6th wont.  I am using a Z170 Pro Gaming Carbon mobo.  If anyone could help us we are willing to tip :).

Well we have a Z170A Pro Gaming Carbon.  We also have the dual fan gtx 1060 6gb.  We were working with it last night. We know it has something to do with the bios.  We tried the 4g decoding and setting the pcie slots to gen 2 and 1 and still the system only recognizes 5 of the 6.

Thanks for your response!

You have to set Gen2 or Gen1 and enable 4G Decoding.Try to switch riser to see if it works. Install Windows 10 in UEFI mode otherwise will not work.
