Title: 9th GPU on ASUS Prime Z270-A Mobo Post by: Helios45 on January 27, 2018, 12:08:10 AM Hey guys
Did you have any luck getting a 9th GPU to be detected on the Asus prime Z270-A mobo? My mobo is currently quite stable running 8 GPU's using one powered M2 adapter, I recently installed another powered M.2 adapter on the second M.2 slot and I can't get the system to detect my 9th GPU I remember when i installed my first M.2 there was a message after the BIOS screen before Windows loaded indicating that the system detected an M.2 device, when I installed the second M.2 I never had that I have already configured both M.2 ports on the BIOS for PCI-E use Any feedback is appreciated Title: Re: 9th GPU on ASUS Prime Z270-A Mobo Post by: Viecoin on January 27, 2018, 01:28:21 AM Which Windows OS are you running? I know that you should not have any issue getting the 9th card to show with your favorite Linux distro. You could try to do an in place upgrade with the media creator tool if on Windows 10. I have had luck with getting several extra cards detected afterwards. But honestly I think 9 GPUs is pushing it in any Windows OS.

I have the Z270-P and I can't get it to run with a card attached to the PCIEX16_1 with a riser. I tried it with just 3 cards and it would only detect 2 cards, however I'm running 5 cards just fine by skipping that slot.

I have run all 3 rigs on both Windows (latest fall edition) as well as nvOC. No problems with either. This is how I have my BIOS configured on these rigs: Code: Advanced/Platform Misc Configuration - Everything Disabled Hope that helps.

I'm using Windows 10 with latest fall creator update 1709, this version is supposed to support more than 8 GPU's Title: Re: 9th GPU on ASUS Prime Z270-A Mobo Post by: Helios45 on January 27, 2018, 02:18:35 AM Just curious, did you have any issues getting the mobo to run fine with a riser in the main x16 slot?

All three PCIEX16 are working ok with risers, never had any issue with it, though I previously had to RMA a similar mobo as I had a PCIEX1 slot not working at all Title: Re: 9th GPU on ASUS Prime Z270-A Mobo Post by: Helios45 on January 27, 2018, 02:19:36 AM I got 3 rigs with PRIME Z270-A mobos, and they all have 9 GPUs (2 are 9x1080Ti and 1 is 9x1070).

Thanks for this, I will test the settings whenever I have a chance Title: Re: 9th GPU on ASUS Prime Z270-A Mobo Post by: SCSI2 on January 27, 2018, 07:00:23 PM Also make sure your M.2-to-PCIe adapter board is properly aligned with M.2 connector. May need to move a bit either side.

As soon as I plugged in 9th 1080, it all went to shit, blue screen, freezings, nothing works. After I removed 9th, problems stayed :-[ :-[ :-[ |
