Title: Only detects 5 gpus! Please help!
Post by: Pukito on March 09, 2014, 04:33:32 PM
First thanks for reading and for the help you can give me, forgive my English, I'm using a translator.

My components:

Asrock H61 pro BTC
8GB Ram
x6 r9 290 (non-x)
x6 powered risers
CPU Intel Celeron G1620
AeroCool Templarius Imperator 1150W 80 Plus Gold x2

I shall explain my problem:

Well, the problem I have is that my computer only detects 5 of 6 gpus that I have connected.

If I connect 5 gpus from right to left (PCI1 x1, PCI2 x16, PC3 x1, PC4 x1, PC5 x1) everything works perfectly and all gpus give me image if I connect the monitor.

If I connect 6 gpus (All PCI occupied) the PCI2 x16 stops working, windows only detects me 5 gpus and all except PCI2 give me image if i connect monitor.

Look at the picture, is connected with 6 gpus:

I've tried everything to detect 6 but not succeeded.

I tried windows 7 (only detects 4)
I tried BAMT (only detects 5)
Now I'm with windows 8.1 (only detects 5)

After reading a lot and try many things and not gotten it to work, really appreciate it if someone could help.

Thanks.

What's your power supply?  I had a similar problem with 5 GPU's on one motherboard but when i connected the 5th the computer would dumb it's memory after 10-15 minutes.  I solved it by adding more PSU's.

Not the same problem, he can see 6 gpus (5 bien and 1 error) but I can only see 5, anyway I have tried before to do what it says in the thread you have given me and not worked.

Anyway thanks for the interest.
