I overclocked my Asus Rx570 gpu on SMOS and I need to bios mod a few cards. I have some instructions on how to flash the settings, however one thing I'missing is how to get the Gpu to connect to my laptop. I have a riser and power supply connected and I connect the USB, but it does not detect the gpu. I tried downloading the driver but it doesn't do anything, because it can not see the gpu. I can do nothing until I'm able to get my laptop to see the gpu. Anyone out there have some suggestions? What other info do you need?

Thanks.

Have you installed the drivers for the USB controller?

What OS are you using?

You can try format Hardisk on your laptop and deleted all partition, next setup new windows and new partition, also you can try select bios setup default, If you do not solve the problem then contact the servicing center.
or
You can use 'Drivertorrent' for fixed some driver problem solved, Which you need.

Note: Before doing it, you can move it to something else (Data) you need. Moreover you can lose all your data...!

He wants to flash his GPU bios and you’re reccomending deleting partitions and some wanky driver software, you sure mate  ::)

Oooh!mate  ::) I'm not sure, But Everything is finished, Either it will be solved or destroyed, I have already said that if it does not work by doing so, then go to the Service Center(it is final treatment for this).

I have windows 7 and windows 10. Tried downloading the AMD drivers on both. Both laptops do not see the gpu, I've tried several gpus and have had unsuccessful results.

I didn't even think about that. I have not downloaded any USB control drivers. I'll do a little research and see if I can find one.

Take a look in device manager and look to see if there are any unknown devices, anything with a yellow triangle etc...

I think something is missing from your windows file but I am not sure that, you can try to download new windows 10 version 1809 from official site of Microsoft,  and install it,   I think it will solve the problem,  sometime when some file missing from your windows file,  your hardware can't work instantly or perfectly can't work.

Nothing shows up in device manager.

These things can be possible:
1. Lack of power by PSU
2. VM (virtual memory)
3. Bios mod software is not good enough

Short solution:
- Back to your default Bios settings

I'm not sure how to get back to my default bios settings. I can't even find a control driver for it. Perhaps the USB cable I'm using is incorrect? Maybe the laptop isnt compatible and I should connect to a desktop? I only wanted to use the laptop as a controller for the gpu. To make mods. Kind of hard when it doesn't see the Gpu.

If this is a normal gpu you need a PCI-E slot (Riser), but where do you connect the riser :-) ? I dont think its possible to connect normal gpu directly to a Laptop? USB and the other cable on the riser is not enough - You need to connect the riser to a PCI-E Port UNLESS its a eGPU.

I dont know if i misread anything - but it just hit me that you wrote u wanted to connect the GPU to the laptop :-)

It is a egpu. I have the riser connected to a PCI-E power source as well as the card connected to its own power source. I want to use my laptop to modify the bios on the external graphics card, but it won't detect a device when plugged in.

Hmm weird.. have you tried another riser?

I've tried different, new risers, I've also tried several different cards, but my laptop just won't detect that cards. I have also tried with two different laptops, one has windows 10 and the other 7. Still nothing. I'm lost as to why it won't detect it.

Any suggestion from them will never work because you are using a laptop to make your GPU visible in manager device so that you can modify the bios of the card.
The riser will not work if you just connect the USB to the USB socket of your laptop.

If you want to make it work you need to buy an adapter or they called it "EXP GDC Graphic Card Dock" it's an external PCIE this is working on laptop. You can find the guide from here https://trickiknow.com/external-graphics-card-for-laptop-egpu-setup-guide/

And then for Bios Mod guide, you can find them from here [GUIDE][TUTORIAL][XMR,ETH]How To Mod Bios RX470/570/480/580 VEGA Mining 💰⛏  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0) just scroll down and you will find the guide.

It is not recommended to connect Gpu-s to your laptop as the power supply of the laptop is weak and will destroy both your laptop and cards in a short amount of time.

Just buy the pieces needed to build an open air rig and build everything there. This is the right solution to your problem.

This is good information. I was under the assumption I could use it USB to USB. I'll purchasing it right now! I'll let everyone know how it goes when it comes in.

Indeed - and for the love of baby jesus don't listen to any formatting hard drive/updating bios/torrenting drivers nonsense. Cheap MB, psu, amd drivers off amd site, you'll be golden. Top tip: mod them one at a time, and save the stock bios.

it is helpful information, Think if I want to mining Then what are the new things I need to do, I have no idea for mining, I have no idea hardware and others system, you let me know any information full work details. thanks.

The title is somewhat offensive, but the most important thing is there is valuable information in it.
