hello, i am building a miner with following components:
board: asus p5q deluxe, cpu: intel c2d e6600 RAM: 4x1 gig corsair: power supply: enermax revolution 1020W.
GPU's: 2x 5870 2X5850
OS: windows 7 x64(clean reinstallation already done)

my problem is the computer only recognizes 2 of the cards. and yes, i am using vga dummy plugs Wink
if i change 2 cards he ever recognizes the cards which are on the blue pcie slot and the card on the bottom pcie slot(black)
i am using 1x pcie risers to connect the cards.

does anyone have a clue where the problem can be?

thx, remedin

I would check to make sure that putting a card in one of the other slots doesnt disable the rest. I had that issue with my GA-695P-DQ6.

Use both x16 slots and all of the x1 slots are disabled.

Checking the user manual of your board now.

Well, it doesn't say anything...

Intel P45 handle 16 pci-e lanes for first two slots and ICH10 have another 4 lanes for the rest. Try to install cards to pci-ex16_1, pci-ex16_3, pci-ex1_1  pci-ex1_2.

tried to bridge the contacts but still doesnt detect the grafic card on 1X slot Sad
EDIT:
tried to bridge it on the motherboard(bridged it on the riser before) and now it seems to work!
THANK YOU GUYS, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Wink
