Title: 10 gtx 1060s on B250 mining expert Post by: mdu830 on February 22, 2019, 09:25:07 PM Hey everyone im having trouble booting into my system (black screen) after adding a 9th card to the rig im using:
Ubuntu mate 18.04 120gb ssd B250 mining expert Intel i3 7100 2x 4gb ddr4 ram (8gb) Evga gtx 1060 3gb x9 Everything is fine til i put the 9th card on... Now i have reinstalled ubuntu without the drivers and it boots up but as soon as i install nvidia-driver-390 or the headless version and reboot the system doesnt boot up just get a black screen again. Any ideas on what this could be? I’ve refered to this topic where someone was running 12 titan xps before but to no avail: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2750990.0 Title: Re: 10 gtx 1060s on B250 mining expert Post by: BitMaxz on February 22, 2019, 09:44:35 PM It should be run fine with 9 GPU in Ubuntu OS I think you need to add 12v into your mother if you can find the 4 pins socket on the board put another one 4 pins 12v.
The location is nearly on GPU PCIe socket and I think you need to install lower version because new driver version doesn't support more than 8 GPU based on what I heard. Also, check this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2110421.0 and this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2357461.0 And move this thread to altcoin mining section here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0 Title: Re: 10 gtx 1060s on B250 mining expert Post by: mdu830 on February 22, 2019, 09:56:14 PM Ive tired hooking up the 4pin molexs to the board but doesnt help anything. From what ive read if you have powered risers ( witch i do) you shouldn’t need to hook up the Molexs. Is that right?
I’ve been unable to install older drivers in ubuntu it just keeps pushing me back to nvidia-driver-390 Someone suggested if 4G encode was on witch it is. And the i3 7100 can handle up to 16 pci-e lanes according to intel Still can’t figure it out! :/ Title: Re: 10 gtx 1060s on B250 mining expert Post by: mdu830 on February 23, 2019, 10:53:07 PM Update!
After much trial and error. It turns out if you space your risers evenly across A B and C it will run very smooth; i had A filled up with 7 cards and B had the other two. Now i have 3x 1060s on Pci-e lanes A 3x on B and 3x on C Works like a charm i hope this helps anyone else that would be having these problems!
