MSI Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON 7GPU

[Marvell1]

Guys,

just download the bios.

Only setting you need to turn on is Cryptocurrecy mining to enable.

BE SURE you have WINDOWS 10 in UEFI mode instaled.

I have instaled 30+ rigs all with 7 cards and it just works fine. All mobo there are MSI Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON 7GPU.

All cards i have in rigs are MSI RX 480 Gaming 8 GB.

It will work even with other cards as well. No need to adjust any other bios setings. Only think you need is to enable cryptocurrency mining.

Thats it.

If anything write me on skype... cReepas.

Best regards

what are you talking about lol there is no such setting "Cryptocurrecy mining" in any brand of bios MSI or otherwise

[creepas]

It is... in my custom bios in PCIe settings...

I installed uefi win10 with rufus. I can't get it too boot with above 4gb decoding enabled with 1 or more gpus plugged in (it will boot with it enabled using onboard gpu) any ideas?

Wow!! looks awesome btw do you use stock settings for GPUs or custom bios, what is the best mh for this card? Also this card have bios switch like sapphire?

Hey man, awesome setup, I believe thats 24 systems? You will be hitting 5GH with that soon
Word of advice, please do not use the molex to sata connectors on your risers, 5 out of 10 short and burn.
Please buy Sata powered risers (red colored), and use them along with molex powered risers.
Remember - connect only 2 risers per cable.

Best of luck

Yeah it is solved. The custom bios works for 7gpu mining on the mobo in the title

Hi . i installed MSI Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON 7GPU following  this topic and personal knowledge,  i upgraded that Mobo to this custom BIOS and tried also latest formal update 1.7  ..

Now the problem

i have 2 RX 480, Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ Rx 480 8GB GDDR5  and ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon Rx 480 8GB OC..

now i have strange issue .. when i install only one card ( any of these cards ) every thing work fine , card detected , get 28-29 hash rate .. but when i install both cards in ( PCIe-1 and  PCIe-2 ) ,, one card have full speed  GPU memory/Core speed 1200/220 speed and the other one get always stuck GPU memory/Core speed 300/300 always the ASUS..

see attached pix

any one ever faced that issue ?

do i have to install all 6 cards to make this work ?
and why always i get GPU memory/Core speed 300M ?  

also Claymore miner didnot detected except one GPU ( the faster one only ) , it didnot detected the 300M card.

i installed so many AMD drivers 16+ . NOT 17+
changed risers
changed power molex
changed GPU setting in the bios




Windows 10 Pro UEFI

CoreI3 7Gen.... 4 G RAM

I got it to work .. was a driver issue and also the correct order of installing the cards . i will add more cards later to test the 7 GPU

Are you guys capable of running 7 bios modded GPUs on this mobo with windows 10? I was playing with it for hours yesterday and couldn't get it to work properly. Finally I gave up and left the main GPU unmodded and everything else works fine with 7 GPUs.

For the windows to show 7 GPUs I had to enable in the bios, on top of the Above-4G Decoding, also the Windows OS configuration for Windows 8.1/10. Without enabling this windows option it just booted to black screen. Problem with this option enabled is whenever I try flashing the main GPU, even if it's the only GPU, it doesn't boot properly. It doesn't show the startup mobo bios messages, it just boots straight into windows. If I don't have display drivers installed before turning windows 8.1/10 mode to enabled it boots to black screen. If i try to uninstall drivers or update them, it starts booting to black screen. Then I have to unplug the GPU and use onboard GPU to turn the Windows 8.1/10 option off again. Without that option I can get 5 modded GPUs working without problems.

Shortly said, enabling the Windows 8.1/10 to boot into windows with 7 GPUs doesn't let you flash the main GPU properly, any idea why? Do you guys have the 7 GPUs working without enabling the windows 8.1/10 option, only the Above-4G Decoding?

I flashed the latest 1.7 bios, got 8 GB of ram and Celeron G3900, MSI RX 480 cards.

Can you tell us where this custom BIOS came from. Is it from MSI? I'm having a problem getting some of my Nitro+ RX 470's to be recognized in risers using this MB by the BIOS during startup and thinking or hoping this might fix this problem.

Also I see you are using Windows 10 Pro but I am using Home. Do you know if this makes a difference here?

anyone with 7 X 1070 on this specific motherboard?

I have 7 1080s.

It is... in my custom bios in PCIe settings...

sounds scammy, no screenshots picture links anything, plus this board works with 7 gpu using MSI latest bios anyways

Hello,
Im on the current official MSI BIOS and Im having trouble booting with the 4G Option enabled when more than 4 GPUs are connected. I'm getting a blank screen and the Rig constantly reboots.

How can one achieve it with the stock BIOS (I've installed and booted in UEFI mode).


@all who installed creepas custom BIOS: is it safe? and does it work?

Best regard
David

[Drawde]

Where is the  cryptocurrency setting in this BIOS I can't find it?

[DwieDave]

Hello,

I've successfully achieved my 7GPU rig goal thanks to creepas BIOS.
It worked like a charm!

The option can be found under Advanced > PCIe Subsystem > Above 4G Decoding / Cryptomining

Best regards and huge thanks to @creepas!
David
