Title: Computer only recognizes 2 grafic cards Post by: Remedin on July 26, 2012, 09:54:22 PM hello, i am building a miner with following components:
board: asus p5q deluxe, cpu: intel c2d e6600 RAM: 4x1 gig corsair: power supply: enermax revolution 1020W. GPU's: 2x 5870 2X5850 OS: windows 7 x64(clean reinstallation already done) my problem is the computer only recognizes 2 of the cards. and yes, i am using vga dummy plugs ;) if i change 2 cards he ever recognizes the cards which are on the blue pcie slot and the card on the bottom pcie slot(black) i am using 1x pcie risers to connect the cards. does anyone have a clue where the problem can be? thx, remedin Title: Re: Computer only recognizes 2 grafic cards Post by: runlinux on July 26, 2012, 10:00:27 PM I would check to make sure that putting a card in one of the other slots doesnt disable the rest. I had that issue with my GA-695P-DQ6.
Use both x16 slots and all of the x1 slots are disabled. Checking the user manual of your board now. Well, it doesn't say anything...

EDIT: tried to bridge it on the motherboard(bridged it on the riser before) and now it seems to work! THANK YOU GUYS, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! ;) Title: Re: Computer only recognizes 2 grafic cards Post by: Ilikeham on July 29, 2012, 04:49:46 PM Didn't even think you might do that , yeah a little piece of wire and bingo it generally works fine. Glad your issue was solved.
