1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 - How to Enable 6 GPUs on: February 08, 2018, 03:24:55 AM
Oops I meant 7 cards, maybe I have a bad m.2 adaptor, my card is connected to the M.2 adaptor but it is not detected under Linux. Riser and card is good as they work when connected straight to the PCIe slot.

Can I ask what adaptor you are using? Is it the green kind with a power plug? or the black/blue kind which connect straight to the riser cable?

Also are you using the mining BIOS from this page:

https://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/462/mining.html

Finally which m.2 slot are you using? The one closest to the CPU (M2D_32G)?

Thanks

I'm using the EXPLOMOS adapter available on Amazon and it's in the m.2 slot closest to the CPU.  The adapter has a 4 pin adapter and looks just like the green ones available.  However, I'm not sending any power to the m.2 adapter.  

I'm also not running the BIOS from that page.  It's the F22i version.  There's a newer one available now, but I haven't updated.  Not sure it matters, but both of my gaming 7 motherboards are Rev 1.0 and not 1.1.

One last thing - not sure it matters.  I have one card directly connected to the motherboard in the x16 slot closest to the CPU.  I'm cheap and didn't want to get another riser.

I'm running Win10.  Tried Linux once and got frustrated when I couldn't get more than 20Mh/card.

has anyone managed to have more than 6 gpu's running on this board?

i've tried to get 8 going but m.2 to PCI-e adaptors don't seem to be working, card is not recognised.

very odd, i'm going to try loading BIOS settings from defaults and see if it fixes it

Yes.  I have 7 working on my rig.  Six PCI-E plus one m.2 adapter.  That's the max per the gigabyte mining website.
