ASrock H110 Pro BTC+ 13 GPU Board

[DVMiner24]

I am trying to setup a 12 GPU rig with EVGA FTW3 1080 ti's with two 1600T2 PSUs, but running into the same problems with over the last day.

When booting up the rig with 2-3 cards in place i get Error: Invalid Device Ordinal

I initially began inserting GPUs from 1 to 13, but have also tried starting with the PCI-E x16 slot (slot 4) and then going top to bottom.  When I try this the monitor never shows the console data.

I had a similar problem on a different rig (Invalid Device Ordinal) when trying to add the 11th card, so I just let that rig run with 10 cards, which has been stable for 3 days.

Anyone running into this problems, and hopefully know how to fix.   Thanks.

Can anyone share how to get this board past 3 GPU in ethos?

I have 1 mix mining 6 amd and 5 Nvidia gtx in windows.  Now, I want another rig all Rx 580, in ethos. I cannot past 2 gpus. The 3rd gpu is not being detected. Shall onboard video be disabled? I already connected 2 molex connectors to the motherboard.  I once got to boot into ethos with 3 cards recognized. I adjusted the config and reboot the rig, it doesn't recognize the 3rd card anymore. All 3 cards are rx580. Should there be any sequence? I started with 1 card in gpu0, detected, mining, and added another to the slot nearest cpu? I added another 3rd, very near towards the other side of the board. But no matter how I move the 3rd card on different slots, only 2 are detected.  Please help.

You can't mix Nvidia and AMD cards on ethOS. You could try HiveOS, which apparently supports mixing AMD and Nvidia cards on Linux.

Hey guys.
Im having trouble getting the X16 slot to detect any gpu with this motherboard
I have tried everything in the BIOS and nothing works.

System components:
G3900
Kingston DDR 4 2400 Mhz
120 gb SSD
GTX 1060 6gb (just one card being used to setup the rig)
Nvidia 388.xx drivers
Seasonic 620 watt power supply
OS: Windows 10 64 bit.

BIOS settings:
Vt-d disabled
4g enabled
Multi monitor disabled
Primary gpraphics card: Pcie2
Pcie 1-7 : Gen 1 and gen 2 for both tried.

What does work with this board:
Bios posts fine no issues there.
Onboard graphics work. With this when the 1060 is install in x1 slot closest to cpu it works fine and I can mine without issues.
Only issue is with the x16 slot; nothing is detected in it.

Troubleshooting done so far:
-reset CMOS (pulled battery, cleared with jumper)
-Updated Bios to latest versions
-Rechecked all power connections to the psu and the components (motherboard has 2 molex and 1 sata power plugged in)
-Messed around with every settings related to gpus in the bios nothing works
-No matter what I do the onboard graphics do not switch over to the gpu.

thanks in advance.

Try using the Onboard Graphics for the connection to your monitor.
Set ALL PCI-E slots to Gen 1
Try to boot with the Single GPU ONLY plugged directly into the Motherboard. If that works its a faulty riser. If it doesn't then your Motherboard may be defective.
Make sure you are supplying power to BOTH Molex plugs on the Motherboard.

Hope this helps.

Yup the onboard has been connected to the monitor from the very start.
ive tried gen 1, 2 and auto. basic troubleshooting shows all slots work except long pcie slot.

Anyone experienced this issue on their end?

I had an similiar issue and was a bad riser.

In this board the gen2 gives me more speed

Its not the riser since Ive connected  the gpu directly to the slot and it still didnt detect anything and it mines fine on any other short x1 slot.

Update:
I tried Smos instead and its having the same issue. Mines fine on any other slot other than the long pcie slot.
Looks like I'll need to RMA/return this board.

Update 2:
Received second board and it detected gpu in long pcie slot right away. was board issue and have returned it since.

My plate is now giving 2 long beeps and several short beeps.
this started to happen after I did an update for bios 1.50
anyone know how to recover the BIOS or where to buy a chip already recorded?

[pickleburglar]

Has anyone managed to use M.2 port with a riser? I bought one on Aliexpress but my GPU is not detected.

Not all m.2 slots are PCIe, some are sata, make sure what you got first

Same happened here last night decided it was time to make updates .... bad move.

Tried now the clr cmos for 4 hours as suggested in Asrock forums by Moderator, still seem corrupted bios and I too am looking for some recovery, though the board is on warranty I have 2, maybe I could flash the bios from the other chip.

I'm looking for the bios chip on this thing, is it a Winbond one?

got a odd problem... installed my second rig today (one gpu directly plugged to the mainboard) and set windows and everything up. As soon as I connect some cards with risers (all working, got the new 009 series with leds) I get no image at all. So I removed all risers, put one card directly on the asrock 110 pro again --> working. Connected 4 more cards with risers and started claymore --> 4 gpu are mining instead of 5. Took away the card from the from the pci 16 slot and again no image. So what's wrong? I get only a screen when the card is on my board, lol. I didn't had similar problems the first time, any idea what setting is wrong?

convert your system disk to GPT and boot Windows in UEFI mode.
also enable multi-monitor and set primary graphics card to iGPU in BIOS.

Hi.
I have a problem with this Mobo. I have several rigs with USB with linux like SO. Sometimes when a rig hangs and reboot  the mobo enter directly at BIOS continously and don't recognize USB pendrive.  The only solution is change pendrive of USB port and mobo restart without problem. This is a problem for to restart the rig remotely.
Why happend this? What is the solution?
My config is:

Asrock H110  pro BTC+
Celeron 2.9 Ghz
4 GB Ram DDR4
12 RX570 8GB
3 Nox Hummer 850W
Pendrive 16GB USB3

Thx.

Look for legacy support options in the bios of the mobo. Try with legacy boot ON and everything else off. This worked for me in the past.
I do not have this motherboard anymore so I can not give you specific directions, sorry.

[mumpungiso]

Maybe theoretically could use 13 gpu on this mobo. But in reality 8 gpu just trouble. I'm sure there is a secret behind it and who knows just asrock technicians, but they have not provided in detail. Someday somebody will find a way.

Hello, I come to ask if any of you use the SATA power connector on this board?

Do you recommend it together with the two molex?

You can disable power warning from Bios page (F11). I forgot exactly where is it, find and disable power warning, save and exit. I am running all of mine with power warning disabled.

so it's not needed? my first and second motherboard had both the same problem that the gpu go to 0 core clock when i start mining and the fan start to spin at full speed, this happen only on the white slot

i thought it was the sata but it did not change anything

It works without it but adding the two molex will also not hurt as the gpus will never consume more than they actually need so you will not damage anything. Only thing is to not put too many gpus on one sata string as this might get you in real trouble.
