Title: Graphics cards not detected with my new PCI-E risers... Post by: Chick on June 22, 2011, 07:18:56 PM Hi guys, I just got in my PCI Express x16 risers today.
I've risen all of the video cards, but now, the mobo only detects # 0 and 2, with it unable to get any operating information out of #1. If I've done this correctly (which I believe so), it should be able to detect all of them! (0, 1, 2, 3) Have any of you experienced problems such as this?

Post by: timberfox on June 22, 2011, 07:32:20 PM Have you troubleshooted to make sure its not the cables; ie switching the working cables/card combinations around to eliminate that variable?
next, i would see if when you remove the working 2 if the others get detected. my pic-e 16x risers work fine by themselves, but my mobo makes me jump the pci-e 1x hooked up to a card with a wire to force the auto detection of a card or something... anyways, other people will likely wanna know the specifics of your machine before they can troubleshoot anymore.

I second this, did you get your auto detection wire in place ? Title: Re: Graphics cards not detected with my new PCI-E risers...

Hope I didn't damage any resistors. [Edit: Now Ubuntu hangs on the purple loading screen indefinitely.] Title: Re: Graphics cards not detected with my new PCI-E risers...

It looks like I've damaged one of the resistors / transistors on the thing... I've going to get an exchange from Newegg since it's been less than 2 weeks.

On a line that you know is working then its dead. RMA it :).

They all have different numbers on the bottom of each box. ??? Title: Re: Graphics cards not detected with my new PCI-E risers...
