Title: MSI z270 MB for +7 GPU's Post by: Etherion on March 23, 2017, 02:21:57 PM Has any tried any of the following MB from MSI?
Z270-A PRO Z270 GAMING M7 Z270 GAMING M5 Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON Z270 KRAIT GAMING Z270 SLI PLUS Z270 SLI Z270 GAMING PRO Most of them has 6 PCI-E ports and some has 2 M.2 ports. I want to build a 8 GPU rig using RX470 but so far I am stuck on 7 GPU with old 1150 MB.

Title: Re: MSI z270 MB for +7 GPU's Post by: kemo6600 on March 23, 2017, 09:28:41 PM If you are considering running dual PSU it might be cheaper to run two systems each with 4 GPUs, you can easily score two used H61 motherboard + CPU + ram combo cheaper than 270 MB.
I haven't seen any success stories running 8 GPUs unless some people with modded gear and none shared the solution Title: Re: MSI z270 MB for +7 GPU's Post by: Lagniappe on April 11, 2017, 04:23:35 PM There are folks running 9-10 card rigs, with undervolted cards, but you just don't hear about it nor see DIY threads because they have the difficulty in mind.

This community has been very open about sharing most of their trade secrets even, so I wouldn't agree. 8 card rigs exist, but only 2-3 people have the skills needed to make them, and even they have let the cat out of the bag on several occassions, you can run 8 cards on linux with minor tweaks. I have not, in my year and a half on these forums, heard of a 10 card rig, so its too well kept a secret to be possible. I did read that someone managed to get 10 cards detected in Linux a couple of days ago but that was a noob account and he hasnt shared any image or proof, so I do not trust that information yet. Some enterprising members like Jstenfanop are developing 8 card modules that can be added in pairs to run a total of 16 cards off of essentially one system, but that's specialized hardware, and its still in production.

Well, I suppose we must agree to disagree then! See, I believe that it's negative to freely share the best ideas, if they directly deteriorate earnings. It's a positive thing for the crypto community, to be 'secretive', to an extent. Otherwise, difficulty will be ruined too quickly; it is definitely a positive, and I appreciate the secrecy. I don't mind finding out the hard way, story of my life. PS Do you happen to know which Linux tweaks those are, I'm kinda creating a huge searchable file of stuff to go through when I hit brick walls.

Are you confusing individuals being secretive with a community being secretive? As already stated, this community isn't secretive at all, infact all new innovation in software spreads like wildfire, and most do directly impact earnings.Quote Do you happen to know which Linux tweaks those are, I'm kinda creating a huge searchable file of stuff to go through when I hit brick walls.

Don't even work with one gpu in the system. They gave me a 50% refund. Title: Re: MSI z270 MB for +7 GPU's Post by: HandyHan on May 11, 2017, 05:55:50 PM I have 4 GPUs running on Z270 GAMING M5.

Title: Re: MSI z270 MB for +7 GPU's Post by: XXXJAYXXX on July 07, 2017, 06:12:27 PM I am trying to set up an MSI Z270 Krait Gaming mobo with 6 EVGA 1060 gpu's... It will only recognize 5 of the 6 cards.. seems like the second from bottom slot does not show up.. anyone know of a solution for this on these Mobo's? I enabled the 4G in the bios.. and that fixed the resource issues with 5 cards.. but I am still having problems getting the 6th card to show up..
I was planning to build 8 rigs with 45 cards total.. But if I can't get the 6th card up and running I will need to build 1 more system.. trying to avoid this if possible! Thanks for your help!

Could you please share your experience on running 7-8 gpus on Msi Z270 krait? Thank you! Title: Re: MSI z270 MB for +7 GPU's Post by: josh1095 on September 01, 2017, 06:00:57 PM I currently have a MSI z270 SLI PLUS running 6 gtx 1060s just fine. I'm about to test the m.2 to pcie adapters. There is ZERO info on the net of anyone trying this on this exact mobo. The 270 A(or R?) will do it but the SLI PLUS is a big ???
I should have info by sunday 9/3 and can put this to rest and offer an tips or tricks on how, if possible, i got it to work. Since this is a TEST, I didn't order 2 more gpus just yet. I will run 4 gpus in pcie and 2 in the m.2 to pcie adapter just to get proof of concept. I will post up any and all settings that anyone may be interested in as soon as i test and verify stability and other things. Thanks, Josh *one thing i DO know is that you should NOT POWER THE M.2 ADAPTER AT ALL! This is because you are applying the power to the riser. You'll run into a burned up mobo if you power the m.2 adapter itself. Just a heads up! Title: Re: MSI z270 MB for +7 GPU's Post by: josh1095 on September 04, 2017, 08:17:11 PM UPDATE: No go. MSI Z270 SLI PLUS will NOT WORK w m.2 to pcie. Some other models like the A Pro are PROVEN to work but you'll notice differences in their BIOS when compared to the SLI PLUS. I knew this wouldn't work but i had to test it so others like myself would have a FOR SURE answer, not vague guesses.
I tried it every which way. The sli plus will not work with a m.2 to pcie adapter. Just get the h110 BTC+ and never look back. Now i'm stuck w 6 gpus. I could've bought the aformentioned mobo for LESS than the SLI PLUS lol. I feel dumb but, i have an answer and am willing to share the info. Hope i haved saved some headaches!

Easiest steps to run 8 gpus there is.
