I'm wondering if you get 5 GPU's to work, becouse i assembled a mining rig lastnight, but get 3 out of 5 to work on the Asrock 970 Extreme4 Mainboard. My internet search did'nt made me happy becouse lots of people have problems doing this. Some people say it can't work with 5 GPU. Dummyplug anything doesnt help. The mainboard has only 22 lanes with has a limit of 4 GPU's. I use all powered connectors. But connecting the molex, or don't connect it, doesnt change anything. Even with other 5GPU rigs i've got. Connecting the molex doesnt make a difference. |
