@Citronick - Basically in the Top right corner. Look at P 15 of the manual. Where the top part have 5 pins. You would only use the 4 pins to the right handside. Match the power button and LED + and - buttons the same way.
@ Marvel - Are you able to get this MB to work with simplemining OS? It seem to scroll forever very fast with errors on all my MBs.
@ Everyone - Do not set the PCI to Gen 2 and 3.5GB until after you flash the BIOS to the latest, otherwise you won't be able to see anything anymore. This Motherboard is a Pain in the @$$. Will contact support to figure out how to bring the other boards back to normal. Also if you want to use the Celeron 3930 and 3950 CPU, you must use a supported CPU to flash the board to the latest BIOS first. Not to mentioned that it would do multiple on and off power cycling when you add or remove GPU. Very weird motherboard. Yup, another stupid annoying thing but for $61...................hehe, I'm willing to go thru the headache. Updating Simple RX image now with just 1 GPU attached. Let's hope it fixes the Multi GPU issues with Simple OS
@yun9999 i gave up on simple mining os just using windows 10 not sure what i was doing wrong but my cards never detect on simple mining I can get 7 gpu to work on win 10. I have some kaky lake or whatever cpus im today fot my other boards but from what i hear this board has to be flashed to latest bios to support those |

what was the ICO price, trying to determine a good entry point
1 ETH per 1000 GNT, that was when ethereum price hovering around $10 during the ICO. Thanks so its still worth double the ICO price i'll hold off a bit, i never pay more than 1.5x ICO prices on all ICOs |

Just ordered one shipping to the US was $22 ouch , to do all 30 rigs would cost me a fortune, for now i have 10 problem rigs i will test these on

nah i did a few times had nothing but trouble with them, I buy motherboards and PSU's new only buy used proccessors, ram , and GPUs that are still in warranty

Do you guys use the cheaper open air racks or the pricey fancy racks for those?
I think for a large scale deployment like he is doing this is the best way to do it since you can better control the direction of heat |

Marvel - You wouldn't have this issue if you had more powerful PSU! HAhahaha........ 7 x 470 and you can't power it? COME ON, stop buying 1KW PSU!! The FANs are waiting. Shut down another rig and bring another baby PSU over to help. Just kidding. Thanks for the update. You make me very happy as I have 15 of these. 4-5KW Baby 4-5KW Baby! Holla at Finksy, time for a upgrade. I have 5 on the way in preparation for VEGAs and 2 for Protypes. A little PEEP Show of my progress. I'm ALL ABOUT DA BASS!!!!!!!!!!! THE CRYPTO BASS! 5th Rack is 50% populated with GPUs on the way to fill em. 6th reserved for the VEGAAAAAAAAS!  I have like 20 1k-1375 lep, suprnova and roswill pSUs already sitting around waiting to be RMAED , I dont think i will be buying those 4k Deals anytime soon , not really adding that much for hash with summer electricity rates and heat just around the corrner. I will RMA this lot as spared and backups for now. If finsky or somomne comes up with a platinum rated solution uing those 4k bundles that can power, the PC-E slots, risers and motherboard and CPU in one nice complete package I would probbaly buy one to play with but for now I'm fine with a 5-6 GPU rigs. 5 Rx480s on 1k Platinum PSU or 6 RX 470s on 1k Platinum PSUs, when i get back the lepa and Suprnova RMAs i could do six 480s on those 1375 and 1200 watt PSU's Its hard enough for me to manage 30 rigs not sure how you guys do it lol , I'm not building anymore for a while until i play with SRR to help me manage more machines |

GUYS - Citronick / Phillip , can u guys test this? I'm traveling and won't be home for a few more days so I can't confirm.
This is for the Z170 GT7 Racing MB. Biostar support say it should be able to support 7 GPU via risers no issues. Can either of you test and then confirm?

Dear sir
Please follow the following web-site and try again once,
(1) set all PCI-E at gen2
(2)go to BIOS " Chipset" > System Agent (SA) Configuration > Max TOLUD > Set to [3.5GB]
Genius i also bought six of these racing boards on a whim since they were so cheap, i could only get it to detect 4 cards before, updated it with these settings and it worked with six GPUS I also updated the bios before this to the latest version. Not tried it with 7 i dont have any more risers, Microcenter had a deal on some GPUs on newegg they are $184 microcenter had them for $164 so grabbed six of these to play with https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131699*new problem ** it detects all the cards but 3 cards do not seem to have enough bandwith or something , they are only mining at 8mhs vs 27 or , trued ti reinstall drivers same deal, gona try a clean install in the am are you using claymore 8? try -ehti 4 the default is -ethi 8 if left blank it that does not work try doing it with simple mining uses linux a fast install. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1541084.0I sometimes get the 4mh and 7mh bugs with windows on the board. using smOS it does not happen. what cpu are you using ? a pentium or a celeron? if you have an i3 or and i5 it may help you fix the 4mhs bug by putting in a display port cable to every graphics card one at a time with the other end connected to your monitor. vwaaaaala no more 4mhs bugs Yeah. Also a dvi to Hdmi to monitor will work. All for the 4mhs bug ..the 7 mh bug is different. As is the 8 mh ok thanks for all tips , i fixed the problem by opening up watttool and resetting the card that was basically showing that it was overheated , seems like a power profile from the nano i replaced with a rx 470 for some reason after multiple re-installs of the AMD drivers something seemed to be saved ? I uninstalled from safe mode using DDU. Now all six cards work like a charm, I plugged in a 7th card and it is detected by the board, I can't mine with 7 cards since i have no PSU that can power so many cards so I cant say 100% it will mine with 7 cards. Bottom line this is my fav new board, it can use newer processors which means even with the g44 Pentium , so nore more lagging while mining the pc runs silky smooth still with six cards active. I also like the LED's so I know its on, the bios is extensive so many setting , most other 1151 boards i tried don't have the max TOLUd setting and so many other settings I found in the bios. also it will keep resale better since its a newer sixth gen board. Interesting.... so Marvell, you can confirm that the BIOSTAR Z170 GT7 mobo with the settings mentioned by yun9999 does take 7 cards? I have not gone to the warehouse yet thanks to bad batch of sushi I ate last week so I havent got the energy to go out and play yet. If 7 cards on Z170-GT7 is possible... then I think yun9999 will be very happy. I too will revamp my Nanos into 7-riggers with the 1600w EVGA because that PSU have 9 x PCI cables out. yes 7 cards are detected , you have to set gen 2 on all the PCI-E slots and also GEN-2 on the other page where you set the Max TLUD to 3.5 like i said i have no way to power 7 rx 470s constitently, i let it start up mining eth/pascal and the PSU powered its self down which indicates too much of an initial power draw once i disabled one card in the device manager i can mine with six cards fine. I'm also in the process of re-installing the OS from scratch on this board running updates overnight to see if its a quicker fix to the issues i had earlier. **edit ** yeah a clean install , all six cards worked as normal at full speed. Seems like even DDU could not clear some driver setting saved by MSI afterburner. Never seen that before , but at least we know it was nothing to do with the board. I only have six , mostly got them for resale purposes on ebay but i like these boards , I even like the packaging box. I think i will keep them as spares |

I was thinking. Looks like a great time to buy GPU's Prices have been falling on the RX 470 and 480 due to mfr rebates. AMD redesigned them as the more powerful 500 series, but I've heard that the expected power draw is higher. Look for current card prices to drop around the launch of the new cards. you only get one rebate per houshold , you buy 5 cards of the same brand they will only honor the rebate on one card , been there done that read the fine print i dont even look at the rebate price anymore |

the issue though with this setup is you can buy platinum roswil platinum 1k PSU's for $120 right now brand new with 5 year warranty
I have around 10 6 gpu rigs running this setup with no problems only had one die on me.
The finsky solution along with all the cables and the mother board adapaters could ealy cost 2-3 times the cost of buying normal PSU's
This math is not a good example and no way it's even more expensive never mind being 2-3 times. 4 of those Rosewill 1KW even at your Super Sales price is $480. You really can't compare a super blow out once in a while sale but I'll use it anyway as it's an extreme example. Finksy 4KW bundle is much less than this. His Triple A package is $255 and includes everything you need including 30 cables, power cables, fan mount, fans, the complete deal. Now if Finksy can get the Pico with Custom cables at $25-30 x 4 that's up to a Max of $120. So your total price is $375. Way cheaper than your extreme example. ***** The MORE ACCURATE Comparison *********** Most people are not powering just 470s or as efficient with undervolting as you Marvell. You simply can't push 7 x 480 on a 1KW nor would you be able to do 6 x Furies, 5 x 390, Vegas, yadda yadda. So a more accurate comparison is against 4 x EVGA 1300 which normally sell for $200-235 after tax. Let's not count Black Friday SUPER Sales or 1 offs, let's compare average selling price, the what does it cost if I need NOW... . We're then talking easily over $1K of PSU and they're not future proof if your rig requires more than 1000-1300w which means now have double the cost for each rig with 2 PSU and an even uglier Bird's nest in the rear blocking flow. Don't forget even if you don't choose the 4KW bundle, and chose YSLUNG HP 1200W server PSU for separate individual controls, it's still much cheaper and you're getting Enterprise server PSU compare to consumer grade ATX. Of course the ATX comes with better resell value and warranty which is a plus but the server PSU is so cheap, you can buy plenty of extra spares and still have money left over for Dinner and a movie with the entire family. Also you don't have to leave your rig down for a few weeks waiting for that dead Rosewill RMA. Spare server PSUs are like $18-45 depending on whether you're choosing HP or IBM so you can do your own immediate Warranty maintenance. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of places where ATX make sense like my Server case rigs but that may change in the future as well. This is why I'm pushing hard on Finksy, Hawkfish and YSLUNG to get us GOOD PICOs for reasonable price of below $30. If it's at $50 and above, the value proposition drops a lot. However, wait until you see the CRAZY designs I'm going to be coming up with that is only made POSSIBLE by HAWKFISH007 PCI risers and PICOs. IT will be BAD ass and something very unique making even pricey Picos worth it. You also lose the Birds nest of ATX PSU and cables in the rear blocking flow..... ...............Stay Tune............... Three Different Designs 1) Server PSU w Picos for Server Case 2) A Standing Tower Rig 3) The most compact RISER powered stacking Rig You are missing the most important part with finksy A Psu is 40 bucks? You can have multiple spares, all the other gear is reusable. You can easily have backup server psu and swap them out with VERY little work/effort/down time. With a pc psu even if you have a warranty you are looking at 30 days return, or a pricey replacement/more work to rewire a psu. so longer down time  finsky 2000 wat psus are $40? thats nice but ive found with finsky the larger part of the cost is the cables and breakout board |

it was already there but got "deleted" anyway here it is, as i mentioned before i'm not a fan of messy setup.  all cables are hooked up ! except for CPU was waiting for stock to arrive. very nice & clean setup, are you inserting some cables into your tubes or they're just attached ? would love some more pics hehe. Awaiting you pico's too, they sound really nice. where are you located ysly ? kinda bad for me to order from US :/ would love to find nice product from EU  wow thats the most beautiful setup i have ever seen, what power supplies are those ? I'm located in asia. i'm out of stock atm, let's see how things goes. yes the cables are hidden in the bars. they are HP server 1200W Platinum PSU's. small, light weight, direct PnP & power is perfect for a 6x GPU rig even dual mining. But you will need an input of at least 208V to get 1200W (Max) if it's 110V then you will get 900W. one they are in stock how much do they cost |

@ m1n1ngP4d4w4n - The MSI is a different beast. That link might come in handy for me though as I was looking at other FUN MB options last night since I have all these LGA 1151 CPUs and a few DDR4 RAM chip last night so I decided to get a MSI Gaming Pro Carbon used on Amazon. @ Cryptowatcher - I'm ordering all the supplies you need my friend, it's in my Amazon Cart ready to ship to you. Let's make it happen. I see endless opportunities if you can make those cables for me. ************PICO PSU***************************************** Finksy's version will be SEXIER and more POWERFUL. This is just to give everyone an idea of how PICOs work with the Server PSU. In order for Finksy to get us attractive prices, he have to buy in good volumes. This is where I urged Hawkfish to partner up with Finksy to make this happen. It's not part of their core business so both of them don't want to be stuck with huge inventory of these things. I said "DO IT FOR THE COMMUNITY, there WILL BE a huge demand for it once people understand the value it brings. The goal is to get a complete turn key solution including all custom cables for around $30 while saving everyone from the headache of buying crappier / more expensive solution like I did and then hunt for specialized cables since the PICO was designed for mini PC not mining rigs. Why a standard PICO PSU won't work for us * The CPU cable won't reach a normal Motherboard CPU slot. * It requires an expensive and Bulky AC power adaptor. Who needs another thing to plug in or waste another outlet? * It will require a custom 6 Pin to 2.5MM barrel cable to power the Pico if you dont want to use the AC adapter and power it via server PSU * It will require a 6 pin to 4+4 ( pin EPS CPU cable if you want to make it 100% server PSU powering or a 4 pin to 4+4 (8)Pin EPS cable if you want the PICO to power the CPU. What I got from Ebay $40 for this weak 80W combo with no cables that I need. I still had to go and find the EPS cable for $10 on Amazon and it was very difficult to get the 6 pin to 2.5MM barrel adapter cable. I ordered 2 different version and only 1 worked. More money wasted. This is NOT the Pico you want.  6 Pin PCI to 2.5MM barrel adapter to power the PICO via server PSU. Another cable was used to power the CPU via the server 6 Pin to 8 Pin EPS. This waste 2 valuable PCI slot from the server PSU breakout board.  WHAT WE WANT................ Who wants to search on Ebay for separate items just to wait a month from China, overpay and get wrong stuff like I did? No one. I had to do many trial and errors and the complete solution worked and is better than the above but still not cost effective nor SEXY as I want it. We want 1 solution that is tested and have everything so there is no guessing game. We at least 160W of Pico power for the same price as 80W. We want to use 1 6pin cable that splits and power the PICO and can also power the CPU. This will reduce the PCI slot wasted per rig. Most importantly, we WANT IT CHEAPER! WHY WE WANT PICOs. * It's super Compact and sexy. The entire PSU is just a the size of your MB plug adapter. You hardly see the thing once it's plug into the MB slot. I purposely left the cables outside just so you can spot the PICO! If I hide it's tiny 4 pin CPU and SATA cable, you won't be realized a PICO PSU is plugged in.  * It's very cost effective if we can get it for $30. You can't get a quality baby ATX PSU for under $50 raising your cost per RIG * Less Cable clutters and space needed in the rear. This help improve air flow and cable management  Picture Powering 4-5 x 6 GPU rigs this solution easily when paired with Finksy 4kw PSU bundle. SO FRESH FRESH...........SO CLEAN CLEAN!  NOW HERE IS THE KEY WHY YOU SHOULD want it. On top of being SEXY, Cost effective per RIG, you now move 98% of your Power load to the more efficient GOLD to Platinum rated Server PSU. These things are TANKS and are designed to be run for years 24x7 vs consumer grade ATX which are not. When you're using the old way with 4-5 Baby PSU, those are generally cheapy 80+ or less efficiency so this solution pays for itself very quickly via the efficiency. P.M Finksy and Hawkfish and tell them. WE WANT PICOs.............WE WANT PICOs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with this i would buy 2 or 3 4KW bundles if i could use them to power the motherboard as well as you are in your images , who sells those MB pico adapters |
