Title: Hardware Help (GPU)... PLEASE
Post by: JohanAngel on January 30, 2018, 02:34:33 AM
Hello everyone. I am currently running 2 systems: one is my main computer and then I have my mining setup. I have 3 GPU as of right now, as I bought my last one recently. I went to install it on my mining machine and I was not able in any way of doing it.

My build is more or less this one:

just different GPU and SSD. I have tried multiple times but it seems that only when I plug in the risers into the X16 slots, the two cards that are plugged into those work, while I cannot have any of the x1 Pcie slots work. Is this a bios update that I have to do? Do I have to tweak something in the settings? What can I try to do to make this work? Currently, I am just running 2 GPU in each machine and just going with it temporarily, but I need to figure this out for my next purchases otherwise it goes all basically to waste.

Can you guys please help me, I spent like 2 days on this and still cannot find any solution

Thank you in advance
