Yesterday I was able to run on my friend's Z270P 6x Asus Dual 1060 6GB with almost no problems.
My Z270P was running 6x AMD 470/480 also very good, didn't test m.2.

Hi Guys,
              I am new here and I was also having the same issue , till 2 GPUs Z270P was working fine but once I add my 3rd GPU windows was crashing. So I upgrade bios 1st to the latest version of now which is PRIME-Z270-P-ASUS-0610.CAP , For me also Internet download was not working so simply I install from usb stick.

1st : Upgrade BIOS to 610 version
2nd : Go Advanced ----> System Agent (SA) Configuration ----> Enable "Above 4 G Decoding"
3rd : DMI/OPI CONFIGURATION ---> DMI MAX LINK SPEED change to GEN1
4th : PEG PORT CONFIGURATION ---> PCIEX16_1 LINK SPEED change to GEN1

Thats all I did not change PCH CONFIGUTATION configuration like other bro did and for me now mining is stable and running without any windows crash etc. from last 20 hours.

I think it really depends on what Bios version you got. On earlier Bios I could run it halfway stable put all options on Gen3.

It can run only with 4G above enabled with 6 GPUs on 0610...

Hello Friends,

has anybody managed to make 8 gpus work on this Asus Prime  Z270-P.  I have connected 7th and 8th gpu to the M.2 to PCI-e convertor but did not manage to see them added in device manager (windows 10).

Any Bios settings I need to change ?

I am using latest Bios 0808 released on 23-07-17.

Thank you.

I'm getting crazy with this mobo (Asus prime z270-p)

I was really happy when I saw this thread that a lot of people managed to get their rig working but unfortunately I am not able to get it up and running with more than 4 GPUs. My last hope is that one of you can give me another tip. I tried already the following:

- BIOS upgrade to version 0808
- 4g is enabled and everything is working up to 4 GPUs
- DMI/OPI, PEG Port and PCI-E: tried Auto, Gen1 and Gen2 in all combinations
- Onboard Sound, Serial, SATA and USB is disabled

Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?

Any help is appreciated.

have u tried to disable 4G like suggested here ?

With 4G disabled I am only able to get up and running with 2 cards......... As soon as I insert the 3th one I see only a cursor blinking. Not even possible to enter the BIOS.
With 4G enabled I can get up and running with 4 cards..........

Any other ideas?

I got 8 gpus (8x580s Strix) running on Z270P.. you need to be careful with how you install everything and making sure updates are turned of, a lot of the times, your drivers are updated, and theyre not compatible with 8 gpus. it took us 1 day but we finally managed to do it, and replicate it on 2 other rigs.

Have u tried 4g disabled (with just one card installed) and adding Card 2 - Reboot - Card 3 - Reboot - Card 4 - Reboot - Card 5  Reboot ?

Or .... disable 4G, boot with 1 card, install it and then shutdown. Connect all the remaining cards, boot, enable 4G, voila.

I tried that as well: 4 disabled with one card (ok) - reboot adding card 2 (ok) - reboot adding card 3 --> only a blinking cursor not even possible to enter the BIOS

exactly the same issue: booting with 1 card and 4G disable is fine - after adding 4 more I can't enter the BIOS.
I tried enabling 4G booting with one card - shutdown adding 4 more cards --> I can enter the BIOS but Windows is not booting. I never see a Windows logo or something and the screen is always switching between it looks like there will be a picture and back to there is no picture.........

Update:

I did install Windows 10 from scratch with the following BIOS settings
- 4G disabled
- all onboard devices disabled
- everything to Gen1

After some Windows Updates I did install the first card --> everything fine
added the second card --> everything fine
added the third one got an error before the bios
removed the third one - changed 4G to enable --> everything fine
added the 4th card --> everything fine
added the 5th card --> Windows is starting but I have a "code 43" error in the device manager for the last card

I searched a lot for this error and it seems to be a common issue but only with older Windows versions (not Windows 10).

Changing from Gen1 to auto didn't change something. I am still able to boot Windows even with "auto" but still have the code 43 error.

Any idea how to fix that?

@cryptobob88, thanks a lot for your help. We could figure out that my problem is pretty sure one GPU which is Fu**** up......
I learned a lot and his help was really professional

I will receive another card tomorrow and should know after if it's working with 5 cards.
