Since this is a mobo thread i thought i would ask some help.
In a nutshell
I bought GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 LGA 1150 to build a zcash rig.
This one from new egg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128708together with 4 RX 470
and pci risers.
The problem is that the cards will not power up unless i connect the riser directly on the cpu, and even then it cannot see more than 2 cards. It just shuts down and the screen flickers.
I though this would be an awesome mobo to host 4 cards, but it seems i was wrong.
Anyone encountered similar issue? Do you know of any workaround?
Gigabyte support has not been of much help. They suggested to update BIOS which i did but the problem remains.
Any ideas more than welcome
many thanx
