For the life of me I can't get past 4 GPU's on this motherboard. I've tried all the recommendations throughout this thread.
I have confirmed that the GPU's and risers all work fine. I've plugged them in with different combinations of 4 x GPU's, and they all work. Just not when a 5th is added.
All GPU's are RX580 8GB's. All work fine in Windows, up to 4 max.
-Latest ASUS drivers installed.
-Latest BIOS installed.
-4G enabled.
-DMI/PEG/PCIe Speed all set to Gen2. I've played with many different variations of this.
After the BIOS screen, it just goes black and I can't do anything.
$50 to anyone who has experience with this motherboard, and can troubleshoot and get me up to 6 GPU's.
Change PCIe speeds to Gen1 Disable all Sata ports and USB ports not in use Ill take Ethereum  |

Got it working! Searched around a bit, and some people were suggesting to not use the onboard video, and to connect right to the main GPU for video output. A few small tweaks later, and it's up and running.

Hi to all
I try to make it work that config
asus z270-p, 4GB DDR4 2400, 120GB SSD, Intel celeron 3900 + 2x 735W Raidmax PSU + 7x GTX1060 6GB
Everything is fine - win say here are cards, see all 7 of them, but when star miner script it's work 1-2min and start stopping cards one by one. Win10 still see all 7 cards but the mining scrypt none. After restart the same.
Has someone ideas?

I think that it's related to bios version. I have two identical boards Z270-P, one with latest bios version and and with factory 0810 version. Latest version bios I only get 7 working, the 0810 version 8 working exact same setup.
0810 can't be downloaded either from asus support page, strange.

Just want to say thanks. I was struggling to get my 5th card working, but after connecting to the GPU instead of the onboard video it magically started working! |

Guys, I bought two of these boards, but after reading all that I want to ask - what CPU should I buy? Skylake G3900 or Kaby Lake G3930. Or it makes no difference?

I have used G4400 Skylake and now G3930 Kabylake. Can't see any reason why G3900 should not work. |

G3900 works fine with Z270-P. |

Hey,
I just got my Asus Prime Z270-p to boot With 6 Cards, but it does not recognize the 6th card in Device manager.
In the start i couldent get past 4, but when i Connected one card at the time and Connected the x16 slots last, it booted With 6.
Will update if i find out more.

Mine does 9. And of course you don’t provide any info as to how you got 9 to work, good job on trying to improve the community. Thank you to all that has provided setting info to your rigs and not “mine does 9 |

How can I downgrade my bios ? Does anyone have any idea? I already try some ways but none of them worked. |

I have several running rigs with 8 GPUs. Most of them with BIOS ver. 0812 and one with 1002. They were also running fine with 0810 (was removed from asus.com when 0812 was released) |

I got 6 Cards working now by just unplugging the DVI cable from onboard Graphics.
Placed it in the GPU Connected to main PCI-e x16 lane and it booted With 6 and shows them all.

Thank you to all that has provided setting info to your rigs and not “mine does 9 And of course you haven't read the thread completely. Cause if you did you would get the info. Anyways, It's no settings magic or anything just using a PCIE-1x to 4x multiplier card. No hassles with pcie to m2 adapters which imo are terrible quality. Ref: Post #151 |

guys, which models of power supplies are you using for powering 8 cards on this board? Need to buy power supplies that need no additional cable extenders or splitters to power on rx580

For 8 GPUs you can end up buying a very expensive 1600w or higher but dual psu would be cheaper. I use 2 x corsair RM850x. It has 3 pcie cables and 6 connectors (150mm distance between connectors). Has 8 molex connectors for powering risers. However, you should opt for any cheapest, quality gold rated power supply with 3 pcie cables or higher Note: don't blindly go by pcie connector count. (look for the distance between the connectors) Many times the connectors are closely placed on the cable and you won't be able to use it on adjacent GPU. Few other recommendations EVGA 1000 GQ, EVGA 850w or higher G2/G3 series |
