MSI Z270-A PRO and MSI Z270 Gaming Plus both confirmed working with 7GPU

[fran2k]

I can confirm that this two motherboards with 6 PCI-e and 1 m.2 sockets work stable with 7 GPUs.

The setups are the following:

Motherboards: MSI Z270-A PRO and MSI Z270 Gaming Plus
CPU: Intel G3930 2.9Ghz
RAM: DDR3 2133Mhz 4GB
PSU: XFX 750W x2
GPU: MSI Gaming 1060 3GB and 1070 8GB
Riser cables ver 006S / 007S
m.2 to PCI-e adapter

OS: Custom Linux and ethos 1.2.3

BIOS Settings:
PCI Subsystem Settings: PEG0 – Max Link Speed = Gen2
PCI Subsystem Settings: PCI Latency Timer = 96 PCI Bus Clocks
PCI Subsystem Settings: Above 4G Decoding = Enable
Integrated Peripherals: HD Audio Controler = Disabled
Power Management Setup: Restore after AC Power Loss = Power On
Windows OS Configuration: Windows 7 Installation = Disabled

I need to test these same settings with AMD cards but it should also work.

Thank you very much for sharing. Did you happen to check does it work also under windows 10?

I have Asrock Fatal1ty Gaming EX-Z270 K4 Motherboard and under win10 I can only have 6 GTX 1060 recognised...

I can't get my Z270 Gaming Plus to recognize any of my RX 570s

Nothing is ever detected in any PCIe slot in Board Explorer. This is with both trying a GPU directly in a slot as well as PCI risers. The cards worked in my old ASUS PRIME Z270-P.

Any ideas? I've tried pretty much every BIOS setting. The latest BIOS is installed.

I know it probably will work but do you have any plans to test it on windows?

I hadn't planned on Windows. I'm running ethOS and everything was working on the prior Asus mobo (before it died).

thanks for review, just want to ask when you test this motherboard, do you use full 7 GPU 1070 or combine with 1060?

and anybody test it with full of 1080ti?
