Is this a good M.2 riser?

@manicdan What do you mean with power cards?

This is the one I'm talking about:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/-f4AAOSwTapV4-qz/s-l1600.jpg

As you can see it has a small 4 pin power connector. You don't have to use it as the riser itself is powered.

The one your looking at is probably a good choice.

I guess I can get this "adapter/riser thing" on e-bay right?

So it turns out these boards only like certain risers. Version 6 i believe. This is why my board only saw 3of6 gpu.

Swapping risers solved my mobo's identifying issues

My ASUS boards like ALL risers, the Biostar boards are choosy though.

It's much better to get this adapter.  you can run upto 4 devices from this one.  I am using one with 4 cards plugged in.  no additional power required by the adapter either.  Just ensure you get the VER 002.

 I had an incident of that m.2 pcie adapter burnt out.  Luckily didn't damage any components on the board.  The pins below can get bent and short out.

I am using 2 cards.  All 4 ports work for me on 2 separate Z270 motherboards
Imo it's definitely worth trying out yourself for 14 bucks odd.

Does a Celeron 3930 work on this motherboard out of the box? Not too keen on swapping a cpu in just to update bios.

So you can potentially run 9 GPU's with this adapter plus the other 5 slots?

Is anyone running these right now can say how they're working?


Thanks heavyarms

[heavyarms1912]

Mine's running 9 on Z270P.  Yes It works fine.

Are you on windows 10?
Also what kind of gpu are you running? amd or nvidia
Did you need to change any settings after installing this 4 in 1 card?

Windows 10 and Linux.  Works on both.  No settings changed.  Works fine with 4G encoding enabled.
I haven't been running 9 cards from single vendor yet (since I am on blockchain drivers and 8 is the driver limit).  I have tried running 3xNvidia + 6xAMD on Win10 and it worked.

Do you think it'll be more stable if I run all amd cards (different model, vendors,) versus just running amd on the 5 pci-e slots and the nvidia on the 4 in one expansion slot?

All the expansion card does is communication over USB protocol.  The GPUs are doing the work.  Since you'll be using risers, it doesn't matter what pci-e slots you use.  The expansion card is just a multiplexer switch providing 1x to 4x

In that case I'll add the 4 in one to the very last slot that way it'll be easier to keep track of the cards connected physically in case one of them doenst work properly.

humm ,im new here ,
i bought Z270 P + 6x 1060 3BG

i updated to lastest bios 818 ,

You need to insert the card in a 16x slot (excluding the primary gpu slot) iirc

Hey everyone !

I'm facing a problem with a, ASUS Z270-P mobo, and a SAPPHIRE VEGA 64 graphic card. I've been following closely this tutorial : http://vega.miningguides.com/ and yet, after 2 days of countless installs, BIOS settings, DDU abusing, I just can't get it working. Like not even got close to it.

Not 4, not 6 not 8 of them.

One.

One, only...

Seems like it's the problem comes from the mother board [still in this state of strong denial, that the GPU should go to RMA] and I've only used H81, so far. I'm not familiar with this very Z270-P model, but never expected THAT much difficulty to make it work...

+ Mobo BIOS up-to-date ver.0812 [should I downgade it ?]

+ BIOS Setup :

-----DMI Max Link Speed -> Gen2/Gen3
-----PCIEX16_1 link speed -> Gen 2/Gen3
-----PCI Express Configuration -> Gen 2/Gen3
-----Enabled(above 4G)
-----Few stuff like HD audio disabled, and so on...

+ Fresh W10 install [UEFI]

+ Device manager detects the new hardware

+ Blockchain driver - Inevitably fails with BSOD atikmpag.sys issue [both W7 and W10] before finishing

+ Tried every single PCIe port

+ Changed riser enough times to get pretty confident in the fact that the problem doesn't come from this part

Any help ?
