Title: I followed the step of a video on YouTube, and made a mistake
Post by: darwinpan2 on December 21, 2017, 01:32:39 AM


Please help me

I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuWb3Hy5m1M&t=327s

Where they teach me the components of a rig, but buy another mother card by mistake.

I had to buy the MSI Z170A https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Enthuastic-Z170A-Motherboard-M5/dp/B0131GA4WI/ref=cm_wl_huc_item

And buy the MSI h110
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B4U47E4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But what a fool I am

the h110 you have only 3 input video cards, and buy 6 rx580 video cards

to solve buy a PCI-E 1 to 4, which converts the main input to 4 inputs, and so I can connect the 6 cards

the problem occurs when I start with 5 video cards or more, the PC does not start the screen stays black

but when I start with 4 video cards or more, the PC works excellently

I'm using simplemining, I wanted to know how to solve, help please

Can't you just return the wrong motherboard? if it's new most retailers will accept it back.

In fact your motherboard doesn't have enough free I/O ressources for your extra PCI-E.
Try to disable some unused functions in the bios settings (like audio, USB or any others you don't use).

Return it. Or buy another motherboard and use this one for your pc.

Each motherboard has limited number of PCI-E devices it can support. Yours is 4 probably so unlikely u ll be able to see 5th card. Check motherboard specs.
