Title: 6 gpu's on z370 motherboard
Post by: Napalm1432 on February 21, 2018, 11:28:36 AM
Hi there,

I just finished building my first mining rig, using the aorus z370 gaming motherboard with 6 pci slots.
I managed to get 5 of the gpu's working, but the sixth is not being recognized for some reason.
I have already set the bios settings to gen2 and enabled 4g encoding, which made 5 gpu's work (before it was 3)
Now i still need a solution for the sixth one, and i hope some of you could give me some advice!

(Components:
    6x AMD Radeon RX580
    1x AORUS Z370 Gaming Motherboard
    6x pcie risers
    ssd hard disk
    8th gen i3 processor
    )

Are you using OS Windows 10?
Are you using latest drivers AMD (Crimson adrenalin) or using Blockchain drivers?

Crimson adrenaline is now installed, downloading and installing the blockchain drivers now!

Hey dude, if you installing adrenalin already, you don't need to install blockchain version.
didn't detect the sixth it mean only 5 shown in device manager?.
How much power your PSUs by the way?

1. Check the sixth USB Riser cable and Riser power cable make sure everything is Ok.
2. Reset your MB bios through CMOS batteries.
3. Re-setting your MB Bios like before, activate 4 encoding and PCIe gen 1 or gen 2

checked all cables, reset cmos, activated 4g encoding again, and set pci to gen2.
Still only 5 cards are detected.

I think you need install latest version of BIos  cmos, activated 4g encoding again, and set pci to gen2.
