How to flawless install 3 and more AMD cards

[ioglnx]

Hello,

I would like to gather ideas on how to flawlessly install more than 3 AMD cards in a rig.

I would be interested on how you guys install new driver or initial setup with more than 3 cards.
I tried the method 1 card install and then install next one after each other..

But i often came across the point of loop flickering, BSOD, or random..how to say looks like MEM freeze artifacted picture.
It also takes a long time ..very long e.g with 4 cards until the setup is done and inbetween the system often freeze mouse and keyboard not working and then it suddenly after 10min works a few seconds and freezes again.

It took me always more than 2h to get 6 cards to work after countless bsods, crashes, freezes on Windows 10..

So I'm curious how you guys do it and what problems you experienced.

My rig config is as follows:

Corsair AXi1500
MSI Z97 Gaming 5
32 GB RAM G.Skill
SanDisk Extreme 480Gb SSD
4x Sapphire Nitro+ D5 OC RX480
2x PowerColor Red Dragon RX480
Window 10 64bit

If I use my 7 NV GPUs I don't have such issue ..the driver install takes long to..~10min but it never gives bsod,freeze or something alike it runs flawless.

Sound like a motherboard issue because install a 4-5-6th cards isn't more difficult than 3.

This mobo MSI Z97 Gaming 5 can easily handle also 7 nvdia card without this behaviour its always when install just the amd drivers and cards.

Are you just a troll..or what do you think I save on the PSU..? really are you serious ..
Corsair AXi1500 not less not more!

and I asked more for your methods of installing rather than blaming just the hardware..since I really checked it all and just to repeat I can easily run on the same system 7 NV gpus the issue just comes with AMD driver install.

For every driver upgrade, I normally just unplug all cards except 1. Then install the driver. Shut off, plug all cards in and boot up. The system itself will detect all cards. I am lucky my 7 cards rigs work flawlessly since day1

Thanks for your feedback..i do the same but for me it doesn't work.
Are you using RX480s or other cards?

to troubleshoot any hardware fault  try to boot using ethos or any unix distro.. if the system does recognize the cards and boots fine (you can check , if bootet fine if the cards are recognized by typing lspci) then you ahve not hardware fault and maybe you could solve problem by freshly reinstalling win

The cards are all recognized during boot, after boot and in any os :-D.

The point of my post is..all about the driver glitches, odds and woes.
It is just about the driver install :-D

i would say 95% of all issue us farm miner have would have to deal with PSU or related to power. By your statement it would be rather clear that you are only trying to running a single rig or two. I wasn't being sarcastic but trying to be helpful. Good luck in your journey...
