Anyone can test these 6 Pcie slots Ryzen mobos?

[TRAPCRYPT]

Currently 5 GPU's on AM4 board - No Problem!

Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard (sweet board I love it so far)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 (mining XMR - 175h/s)
Memory: 1 x Corsair Value Select DDR4 - 4GB
GPUs: 5 x RX560 4GB (BIOS flashed, OC'd and UV'd) getting about 13.5 to 14 MH/s per GPU for ETH
OS: Windows 10 PRO 64 - Latest Updates Installed
AMD Driver: 18.1 (I find this version most stable so far on all of my rigs)
Risers: Versions from 8S to 9S
I did not make any changes in BIOS - everything left on stock settings since I purchased it last week.

I am using every PCIe slot except #5 (for some reason I skipped over this one - don't remember exactly why)

I installed the first 4 GPU's one at a time from PCIe slot #1 to PCIe slot #4 with no problem.
When I got to GPU #5 I had to Shutdown the rig - flip power switch for the PSU to OFF - Install the riser on PCIe #6 - Turn PSU switch back to ON and turned rig back on. I was able to see the 5th GPU with no issue - Applied the AMD clock/time patch - Rebooted and all 5 GPU's are present.

I am currently waiting for another riser and a M.2 adapter to arrive from Amazon so I can try GPU #6. I'm not sure if I will need the M.2 adapter or not I am getting it just in case. I was not planning on going more than 6 GPUs on this board. I keep all my rigs at 6 GPUs. That's the standard I follow. This is my first AMD build. I have 3 Intel Celeron rigs that run for weeks at a time with no problem. I want to try AMD if possible - I am a fan of the Ryzen CPU's. So far the 5 GPU's have been running for almost a week no crashes nothing. When I first turned the board on for initial setup I was using the onboard video and got no video at all - I thought I had a bad board at first - I didn't realize that the video is set to dedicated PCIe slot automatically - I plugged in a riser to PCIe slot #1 and was good to go - Just some info for anyone running into this issue.

I will post my results with GPU #6.

If anyone is interested in any help you can contact me and I will provide you with my services.

Thank you! - Trap

I've been running 5x GTX 1070s in my Gigabyte GA-X370 Gaming K3 board (5 PCIe slots) for a while now, but have struggled to get a 6th GPU working.  After trying a couple different M.2 to PCIe adapters, I finally found one that works:

At this point I just have a GT 610 slotted directly into my primary PCIe slot for testing and to improve screen response when using Remote Desktop.  Will update here if I buy another 1070.


Oh, and using Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).

Can anyone tell me whether the Ryzen 3 2200G will support 6 or more GPUs?
I've heard there isn't enough PCie lanes on the Ryzen 3.
I'm also looking for a mobo which plays well with Ryzen 3 and multiple GPU. I currently have 4 Asus Vege 56 on hand.

[dragonmike]

Is the number of PCIe lanes even an issue for mining?
I might be wrong but I was under the impression that the bandwidth used is so small that the amount of lanes is actually irrelevant?

Max 6 pcie  , 7 GPU black screen for my 2200g  .
Ryzen 5 1500x OK for 7 GPU .

6 GPUs is good for me. What mobo are you using? I'm planning to get the Asus Prime x370 Pro, but still deciding.
I might even overclock the Ryzen 3. What PSU do I need?

[PIOUPIOU99]

My mobo for 2200g(lite h/s v7 monero) = b350 gaming plus .
4 pcie in mobo , 1 multiplier pcie ,and conflict driver Agpu.

b350 gaming plus +ryzen 5 1500x(390-420 H/s v7monero) = 7gpu and stable .

2200G no good .

maybe because of pcie multiplier?? What PSU are you using for the risen 5 setup?

AB350 Pro4 setup, another recipe:

I have this MB working.

Setup:
1) Interferences:

a) M1 and Pcie 4
b) M2 and SATA 3_3

PCIE2 and PCIE4 also has some interference issues with A series APU's

2) Configuration:

a) 6 identicle 1080ti's
b) Ryzen 1700
c) 32 gb of memory
d) Driver 398.83
e) MB Bios: v5.0
f) SSD
g) The very latest Win 10
h) Note: PCIE2 and PCIE4 are full length slots

3) What's the scam?

a) The v5.0 bios:
   i) has 5 - 10 buried pcie settings where I set a mystery setting to gen 1.
   ii) Turned off all sound and serial port connector.
   iii) Couldn't find IOMMU setting
   iv) Changed PCIE2 from one 16x slot to two 8x slots.
 
b) Tricks:

i) Installed the first card(system video) in PCIE2
ii) Installed the 2nd card in PCIE4
iii) installed the rest of the cards one at a time from the remaining lowest to highest slot. It will take 5 to 15 minutes for the MB elves to correctly install the display driver EACH TIME. Reboot and move on to the next card

I've had to do this a couple of times because sometimes GPU4 goes rouge on reboot. I now don't do a reboot on change of coin.

Hey, been having issues with Asus B350-F strix gaming motherboard, 4 rx580s 8gb work fine then when the 5th goes in BIOS doesn even post and i just get black screen...what version and where would i find to enable 4G decoding in the BIOS?

[STAT303954]

Will be testing a ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING AM4 soon.  Hoping to get 6 of the MSI RX Vega 56 going.
[/quote]

We have almost 10 of ASOS ROG STRIX B350-F cards and Ryzen3 1200. We had some initial issues, but after flashing the latest BIOS we could just use default settings and 6 GPUs would work every time, no hassles.
[/quote]

Please send me BIOS config as I have the saem setup and can only get 4 rx 580s to work

[STAT303954]

MSI B350 Gaming Plus 5 Pcie /  ryzen 5 1500x /  M.2 ssd 120./win 10 Pro

7 Gpu stable:
3x rx 570
2x rx 580
1x r9 290
1x rx 560

1 Multiplier pcie (4 usb ) =  slots pcie  3.0x16
3 riser usb  = 1( slots pcie 4x) / 2(slost pcie 1x)
 

Please share BIOS settings as im have issues with my 5th gpu

[STAT303954]

Haha after 3 days struggling I finally achieve the impossible, 6x1080ti on a AM4 motherboard mining guarantee, not counting 2x M.2 slots. I could achieve 8xGPU if i have enough part which are on the way shipping.

Spec: Ryzen 7 1700, Asrock X370 Killer SLI/ac (2xPCIe 16X + 4xPCIe 1X + 2 SATA/PCIe NGFF M.2). Windows 10
Riser: 6x Ubit riser latest version with LED. One came defective, contacting them for the replacement.

So with only 5x riser on hand the only possible way I think of is one of the GPU must be connected directly to the pcie 16x on the motherboard and it's just how i did it. So here is how:

1. Download this portable freeware and have it ready http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
2. Download latest driver for your GPUs and have them ready.
3. Download and flash latest BIOS for your mobo (mine is version 4.50 2018/1/16)
4. Go to your UEFI/BIOS, find and enable "IOMMU" equivalent to "4G decoding", also change 2 PCIE (or PEG) options to "GEN1" (forgot what exact settings are but its there).
5. Always reboot or startup your system in SAFE MODE during GPUs installation. (WindowsKey > msconfig > Boot tab > Boot option: safe boot). Repeated this everytime you reboot your computer for a great chance to success.
6. Boot in safe mode, run DisplayDriverUninstaller.exe, choose Clean and Shutdown.
7. Install your GPUs, all at once or one by one (like i did) whichever work for you. My setup is 5 GPUs via risers and one in the slot 2 PCIE 16X.
8. Patiently* boot in safe mode. Check device manager to see if 6 GPUs show up. If they do appear then go ahead and install driver, reboot to normal mode and enjoy. If not then repeat carefully. As long as I reboot into safe mode all my steps are solid and work 100%.

*After new GPU(s) installed, the main display should be the GPU installed on the first PCIE slot aka PCIE slot 1. Either that or try to plug your display cable (HDMI/DP/VGA...) into the PCIE slot 2. Worst case then try all other GPUs until windows show up on your monitor.

Also I don't recommend any MSI boards for this example unless they are made for mining. Look at their mobo specification they tried to hide as much information as possible, the missing information can only be found in their specify manual of each mainboard. What they hide are some SATA and PCIE lanes will be disabled if there are devices connected to the other lanes. That pretty much explain why MSI's owner has no luck stacking their GPUs. Best brand for experiment should be Asus and now I just found out Asrock too: No PCIE lanes are disabled no matter how many you plug in, they have a better chance to work. Also Asus and Asrock board mostly come with 6 or more PCIE and 2 M.2 which is a plus for both of the brand.

Well, I think I cover almost everything I did to get 6(+2) GPUs working on a AM4 motherboard. If you think i miss anything or have any question please send me a reply. If you find my post helpful please share them as much as you can. I am an AMD fanboy and I want AMD to be popular not only in gaming but also in mining. I'm looking forward to build my 2nd rig with Zen2 if possible. Good luck and happy mining.

Edit: Here is proof guys.https://imgur.com/a/xoTqY

can you assist me flashing my bios for Asus B350-F ryzen 1200 Board lol...cant see some of the bios settings like the 4G decoding

[PIOUPIOU99]

this is old, from memory, gen 1 / 4G decoding 'board msi", this was possible with pcie multiplier (4 usb) on 16x

By the way, R7 1700 is 500h/s in XMR, https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/monero-mining-performance.12116/

Does anyone has these mobos and can test them for mining?

I'm tempted to go with the cheapest ryzen cpu when Vega launches (Ideally 4C4T, but it might not launch before vega). It brings some XMR mining ability, the ability to cpu mine new coins and handle high cpu load unoptimized miners (like in the early days of zcash) and imo, slower depreciation and easier resell of the cpu and mobo. It will be good to know if 6 gpus work.

I have that Asrock AB350 and I've used it for mining before sending it off to a cousin of mine for gaming purpose only but don't ever try investing on that CPU for mining, 500hs in XMR won't give you any joy and you will be wasting electricity for pennies, how about getting GPUs like RX580 8gb editions?

If you have interest in CPU mining on Monero it's better you buy high end Ryzen gpu like Ryzen 9 5950X or 5900X, don't buy any Ryzen CPU that's lower than the RYZEN 9 Variants, but honestly this CPU are too costly, enough money to build a entire gpu mining rig
