Title: Mining Rig Problems.
Post by: Ranger9202 on December 28, 2017, 07:22:46 PM
So... I know the title is dumb, but I'll explain.

Me and a friend of mine are building a 5GPU rig with 5 xfx 580 4gb, 1200w Chieftec Power supply, and motherboard http://prntscr.com/hthn8m
The problem occurs when I boot the system with 5gups. The GPUs start working, but windows ( win 10) never boots. I partially solved the issue, by removing 1 GPU, booting it with 4, and works perfectly, and then added the fifth, and again works well. But I tested it , and again, if I have to boot it with 5 gpus, it doesn't work. So its kinda impractical for me to remove than plug in the fifth one every time electricity goes down or the rig goes off...

Any suggestions? ( I haven't done anything to fix the issue as I don't know what to do )

P.S: I have the same setup on 5 rigs, all 5 have the same issue.

first off id prolly replace that cheieftec psu, secondly you didn't say what motherboard you have, just the lack of spec's in general no one will be able to give you a good answer

get yourself a good brand psu not some knock off crap

Please if you asking for a help , provide the full system spec .
including what risers you are using , how you powering your risers , system memory , did you installed win 10 in legacy or uefi mode  , are you able to get into the bios setting when 5 gpu is connected to the mobo ? you see the bios post , but windows is not loading ???

Are you plugging in the gpu when your system is powered up ????
