Soothaa,
I spent a good bit of the day futzing with that machine and I'm convinced that it's just not going to support 7 cards until MSI releases a new bios that's going to allow us to disable the SATA controller. I have several z98 boards from them that support 7 cards and in each case, the option that allows use of the 7th card is the ability to disable the SATA controller.
With 7 cards on the z170a, you can get 7 cards to show up in the OS and Claymore but as soon as a stress is put on the cards, you start to see weirdness with the OS like hangups or dropping network. I believe this is due to a resource constraint. Possibly interrupts or memory addresses. I went through the OS and ensured that everything that could be disabled was. That included: Audio, HPTimer, and the Serial port. Could be that the next BIOS from MSI fixes things. Only time will tell.
The highlight of the day had to be the new USB risers. Back in 2013/2014, those were crazy expensive and difficult to get. Now days, they're cheaper than the risers I bought years ago. These new ones popped right in and replaced the older risers AND the jumper wires I'd had to put in the PCIe slots to force the motherboard to see the cards.

Has anyone been able to get dual eth+DCR mining working yet? All the pools (dwarfpool for eth + suprnova for dcr) i've tried for mining DCR say that it can't authorize with the pool then fails at recogning the username and password switches.

From what I've read on here, people have been able to get the MSI z170a boards to run fine with 7 cards in windows, no? If that is the case, then it must be something else... |

That's interesting. I still have not yet had time to take another look at the board (and still won't tonight  ) plus it seems Amazon is delaying my new risers until Friday. Come Saturday I will be totally focused on this and building my datacenter so I hopefully will have more info then. |

Suprnova changed the ports for DCR. |

Can we turn off autoupdate? It allow to protect rigs from downtime in case of autoupdate. |

v1095 didnt brig anything to mention It was update for my needs (changed rig update pooling interval). Auto update cant be shut down because in some point your rigs will not be able to communicate with my dashboard if they wont have all have the same updates. Anyone who has problems booting with newer motherboards always try those: upgrade firmware in bios to newest enable 4g encoding. Set pci gen to 2 (or auto) disable audio set integrated gpu as default I am Still making changes to new dashboard, i will push those changes very soon fo you to start testing. |
