Title: should my board work with more than 2 gpus
Post by: ozaudio on February 09, 2018, 11:40:36 AM
hi

after some ideas as to why i cant get my board working with more than 2 gpus. i have an MSI g43 z 97 motherboard with both pci e slots filled , the board also has 2 x 1 pci slots aswell, i set in the bios from auto to GEN 1 but im not sure if its the board just doesnt work with more than 2 gpus or i have faulty risers.

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z97-G43/Specification

 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot
• 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (PCI_E4)*
   - Supports up to PCIe 2.0 x4 speed.
• 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots(PCI_E1, PCI_E3)*
• 3 x PCI slots
* The PCIe 2.0 x16 (PCI_E4) slot will support PCIe 2.0 x2 speed when any PCIe 2.0 x1 slot (PCI_E1/ PCI_E3) has been installed

should i be using the 2 that are currently installed into the normal slot on x1 risers?



thanks for any input
