ASUS Z-270-A success stories w/12x1080ti?

[crypto4pizza]

Has anyone been successful with stability on a 12x1080ti rig on an ASUS Z270-A motherboard using a PCIE Expander?

I'm currently using an expander from Ubit with no success.

i do not think pcie extender work with nvidia
i have seen it working only with amd gpus
better invest in a motherboard with 13 pcie slots

I hope you are trying that in Linux, because Windows does not support more than 8 same cards.

PCIe expander works without problems with my 1070 and 1080ti, so...
At least this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/PCI-E-to-PCI-E-Adapter-1-Turn-4-PCI-Express-Slot-1x-to-16x-USB/32833259844.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.I4NdDS

My PCI-E extender are soon to arrive, but as far as I know it is working good with any nv card
so I'm doubting there should be problem, but, because of it is chinese staff this thing might be broken from the beginning, in that case just ask a refund or just change it

I ended up returning the second one I ordered and decided to go with 7-9 card rigs instead of 10-12 to avoid the hassle.  I probably wasted 4 days trying to get the 12 card rig stable with the expander.

Latest win10 build works just fine with 12 cards

It’s is not true that windows can not support more than 8 GPUs. I myself running 10 GPUs with Windows 10 for sometime. All are gtx 1070s. You probably have to update the windows current updates. It should work. I also run couple of 12 GPU rigs with ethos which is also very good and stable.

Correct - Windows had an update around the end of last year that allows more than 8 NV GPUs now.  There's no more limitation.
