I got the board yesterday and can't get more than one to work. Have also tried the latest BIOS and Beta BIOS with 4G decoding etc. but nothing works. I also made your IOMMU settings, even without success. Please ask for help:) thank you for which board? I want to get the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON for 4x Vega 56 and possibly 6 pieces later who can confirm that the board can handle 6 GPUs? MSI released a new bios to support "above 4g decoding" that may help to recognize more gpus.
Hello, I had previously written on this thread that I could not get the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON working with more than 1 card, or even 1 card in some situations. My problems disappeared when I disabled IOMMU in the BIOS. After I disabled the IOMMU in the BIOS, everything worked correctly, no more kernel issues, and I have been running it with 4 cards for a few months now. NOTE: It is a gaming oriented card, and has a high power-consumption. This makes it less than ideal for mining, but it gets the job done. What does "it doesn't work" mean? Are you booting Windows or linux? What error do you get? |

I went ahead and bought an MSI 370x Gaming Pro Carbon with a Ryzen 7 1700.
I went through quite a few issues installing linux. I tried with Ubuntu 17.04, Fedora 25, and Arch from April, however almost all crashed at some point due to different kernel issues during the install.
In the end, the cause of the issues was the use of the PCIe 16x to 1x riser that I used to connect my Sapphire RX480.
After installing linux, I did some testing, and this issue is present whenever connecting that card through the riser to any of the 1x slots. If I use the riser to connect to the 16x slots, the problem is not there.
Also for testing's sake, I installed Win10, and the the cards work fine using the riser on the 1x slots.
The incompatibility appears to be:
AM4 + PCIe riser on x1 slot + linux
Unfortunately, the board only has 3 full-length PCIe slots, so it leaves me with 3 slots that cause a crash on boot with linux, so they can't be used.
The following does work:
AM4 + PCIe riser on x16 + linux or windows
Intel mobo + PCIe riser on x1 slot + linux or windows
AM4 + PCIe riser on x1 + Ubuntu 17.04 w/ kernel arg acpi=off -> Only one core is visible in /proc/cpuinfo BAD
Unfortunately, I am not finding much info on the topic, probably because the board is new, and on the expensive side for mining purposes.
I am hoping to find a fix before giving up and upgrading my desktop with these parts.
Before anyone suggests differently, just using Window$ is not an option for me, because I am a bit of an open-source zealot.
Hi! i will like to confirm something about this, so you already tested the x370 gaming pro carbon with 6 cards + windows and it worked just fine??? i really need to know this, where i live this mobo would be cheaper than any other option actually for mining, thank you for the testing info already  No, sorry. I only have two cards. The issues I described happened with a single card. I can confirm up to two cards detected by Windows with risers on the 370x. |

Hello Everybody!
Mining n00b here!
I just bought an Bitmain Tech Antminer S2, and after having the factory PSU throw sparks that sounded like gunshots and stink up my house like an electronics factory burning down; I successfully replaced it with an Enermax Platimax 1350W and am back online.
I successfully configured Slush's Pool to verify the functionality, and am trying to switch to Eligius.
After roughly 12 hours of mining on the stratum server, and 5 hours of mining on the GBT server, I have not seen updates in the Stats server.
I would love to say, "It's not you, it's me", and keep troubleshooting on my end, but I'm afraid I'm throwing away BTC. (or at least throwing them at the pool instead of my own wallet)
Thanks everybody,
Vittorio
Hi,
can you send screenshot of your settings for Eligius?
 Hi! I hope the previous image is sufficient, please let me know otherwise. Thanks, Vittorio PS: How long does it normally take for stats to post for a new miner? PS2: Wallet address for pastiness: 3HMiKMkBCBeEoP5ik4u3mBzckKfBYsru1B Um... I thought all BTC addresses start with a 1... Why is yours starting with a 3...? Edit: well I guess it is a valid address since I can find it in blockchain... Learn something new every day... Those are multi-sig addresses. I think they are a good idea for a payout address for a consortium. At this point, I would add a 3rd address to a 1prefix, and I would run the miner as load balanced. I would point it to the same address as the 2nd miner. I don't recognize the 1st http address, so naturally I suspect it. After it has run a while, I would check all payout addresses. If the 1address shows statistics and the 3address does not I would send a message in to wizkid and Luke to see if that is intentional behavior. Good catch! Thanks! Another address worked perfectly, and I was listed in the stats page in around 5 minutes. Mining payouts to multisig addresses are not officially supported (yet). They're currently treated as invalid due to some incomplete code which needs to be finished in order to properly handle them. Unfortunately it hasn't been a priority and no one has really requested this either.
Thanks Wizkid057, and thanks for the service! This address is one provided by Green Address, these are apparently multisig. It worked well with a Blockchain address. -Vittorio |
