[cryptobob88]

@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.

You're welcome! Good luck

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 having the same problem. Can you make to make it work yet? I'm using GTX 1050Ti, what I've tried so far can make windows 10 sees only 6 cards.

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?

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.

Tnx for this hint You made my day. I feel like an idiot now because i was allways adding 1 by 1

Try not plugging in the power to the M.2 to PCIe connectors ... it seems to work for me ... also one of the M.2 power connectors cable burned so I wouldn't recommend them anyways.

My rig is now running full 8 cards. Thanks!!

GUYS SOLUTION!!!


I've been sitting here and try to get this dumb piece of sh*t to work for almost 3 days now.

So here it is:

All you have to do is download Bios v0808 that has been released 23.06.17. Put it on a USB stick which is formated with fat 32 (internet update didn't work with me for some reason)

 - Remove all Cards/ Risers, plug in your USB Stick with the Bios on it. Plug in your HDMI Cable to the motherboard.

 - Boot

 - While booting express your rage by hiting that mf*cking f2 key several times to enter the Bios.


 - After entering the Bios, press F7 and navigate to Tools


 - Open EZflash and choose Upgrade from Storage. Update your Bios to Version 0808.

 - Reboot while pressing F2 several times again to Enter BIOS

 - Press F7

 - Go Advanced ----> System Agent (SA) Configuration ----> Enable "Above 4 G Decoding"

(DMI/OPI CONFIGURATION --->DMI MAX LINK SPEED will stay at AUTO! Dont change these..)

(PEG PORT CONFIGURATION ---> PCIEX16_1 LINK SPEED will stay at AUTO ! Dont change these..)

 - Go back to Advanced, then PCH CONFIGUTATION ---> PCI Express Configuration----> change PCIe Speed to "GEN1"


That should do it!


Some other usefull stuff:

 - Advanced ---> APM Configuration ---> change Restore AC Power Loss to "Power ON" (Rig goes on as soon as PSU delivers Power, no need to press on button or short pins)
 - Boot---> Next Boot after AC Power Loss, change to "Fast Boot" (boots faster)
 - Boot---> Boot configuration ---> Post Delay Time, change to 0 sec (for no Post delay, in Case miner restarts.)

When done in BIOS, Press F10, Save and reboot.


prey.


Hope this helps... ASUS PEOPLE, YOU DIDNT MAKE THIS EASY FOR US

I can't find the BIOS 0808 version on the Asus website? Also, your link doesn't work?

are you using m.2 to pcie adapters?

Someone know where to download BIOS 0808 for Asus prime Z270-p?
I can't find this BIOS on the Asus Support site... is it because the Asus support site is buggy?

Use it at your own risk. Maybe asus removed it for a reason.

I'm going crazy...
Have 2 z270-p
Both have the same kaby lake pentium g4560. 1 have 1x4GB and the second 1x8GB ram.
Both have the same win7 ultimate x64 on sata ssd.
1st board mines with 7 gpu without any problem, in any slot combinations using M2_1 or M2_2 slot. 8th gpu shows on device manager but with the !
2nd board can see and use correctly 5 gpus. Each additional is not seen in the device manager at all.
Both have 0808 bios and same setings... Offcourse tried different settings on mobo2 aswell.
1st have 5x1060+2x1070 and the additional 1060 or 1070 showing ! in device manager
2nd have 2x1080ti, 1x1080,3x1070 and 1x1060 and cannot see more than 5 in the device manager.

Where is the problem? Mixing gpus? 1080ti consuming more resources?
Maybe I'll test putting the ti's on the first mobo...

[Mattthev]

I've installed 0808 bios on two Z270-P mobos, working great so far.

[dominuspro]

My second rig started working with all 7 gpus... But I don't know why after so many hours of headaches

Hi,

I've a Z270-P with Windows 10
GPU : Asus GTX 1070 Strix
Bios : 0810 (same issue with 0808)

6 GPUs are fine and super stable

As soon as I plug a 7th GPU on a M.2 adapter. Everything is fine (I can see 7 GPU) but it crashes and reboots after roughly 30 to 60 minutes of mining.

Any ideas? I've tryed 3 M.2 adapters and 2 risers: same result.

I have in the Bios pzd3mir's settings

[rebelmalangi]

Hi Guys,
             So M2 Slot are not working good for GPU's and crashing or on M2 we do not have to use Power plug (White cable) . Anyone have a stable 8 GPU running on Z270-P with 2x M2 slot ? if yes please share input/steps. thanks

[Damien360]

I've tried unplugging a 7th card, but not the one in M.2 slot. And it's stable!

So this means the M.2 slot is perfectly fine and it's probably a bios or windows issue with 7+ GPUs

I guess I'll have to try Ubuntu ...
