OP here, so the rig failed after with Z270-p failed after 10 months, first it failed to boot to WIN10, nevermind tried to switch to Simplemining, the OS on the stick got buggered on booting up. I managed to get 5 cards running on windows after a BIOS update to 1002 (plugging them in one after another with reboots). Rig ran for 15 minutes before the graphics failed...oh well Simplemining atempt 2 on the way...

Nope, the PSU will supply on demand, meaning it will run as 6 GU's, the consumption will rise only after you add the remaining cards

The older models of risers were not powered, that is why.  |

Just be carefull which model of 3gb 1060 you buy, the 3GB MSI armor's hash higher than GIGABYTE GeForce GTX1060 WINDFORCE OC 3G for example (1832h/s vs 1475h/s on a 6 card rig)

Just out of curiosity, how do you plan on putting 4 cards into a motherboard that only has 3 PCI express slots?
|

in bios set PCIE express lane speed to gen 2 and that is pretty much all you need to do on this motherboard. well maybe switch primary display to PCIE express too since you are already in the BIOS.

Hi i'm new in the foro so i don't know where post this, i installed the program, i have win10, 3xRX480 asus strix, i was mining eth but i want mining zcash now, and i can't, windows freezes and shows a blue screen of thread stuck in device driver, i downgrade my driver to 16.12.2 but it wasn't work so i reinstall windows but it wasn't work either, i update the drivers too but nothing, i need some help pls.
We had similar problems with one of the 480 strix cards, it just won't mine( crashes the system after a while). Gaming is fine on it, but it just won't mine without issues. I was not able to find solution. |

Well maybe, try to find if it has bios settings for TOLUD set it to lower than 4G or above 4G. B150 chipset will not run more than 4 max out is 5 and it will run only on Biostar TB150 I think. Maybe try one of these it's all Asrock. I think the used Z170 (MSI, ASUS) would be best low budget mobo if you can't get BTC ones, Z170 can run 6 gpu with some troubles. http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/motherboard-for-ethereum-mining/Stay away from Z170-A Pro though, there is no way to set TOLUD directly in BIOS and it actually refused to boot system with 3 cards in(4G decoding was set in BIOS, did fuck all to help, had to flash down bios to G version for it to work with 2 cards). |

Pluging in the cards one by one in consecutive reboots worked, thank you for the tip (8 hours uptime so far) I have the same mb, I gotten 5 cards to work, with 4g decoding turned on, and all settings possible set at gen 1, when I plug in card 6 it shows bios splash 2 times then black screen.
Try gen 2, i switched to Gen 2 too. |

I have the following configuration
Asus prime Z270-p
Celeron 3930
4gb DDR4
6x RX480 (MSI gaming x 4gb version)
M.2 harddrive
When i try to use more than 3 card the system does not boot up(actualy does not even show up the bios press delete option if i recall correctly)
I have enabdled the above 4g decoding(newwest BIOS) and set all PCIE to gen 1. Is there anything else that needs to be set in order for 6 cards to work? I'm clueless what I'm doing wrong.
