H110 Pro BTC+ Won't boot with more than 9 GPU

[kenibarwick]

+ 1 for someone who too is having the same issue, 9 cards okay. As soon as you add a 10th we don't get even to the BIOS option.  


I completed all of these options;

however nothing...

If anyone find a solution do let us know...

thanks

I have 10 cards (mixed  AMD and Nvidia) running on thiis board just fine,without issues.
You should check you risers as I had once a similar problem as yours with one faulty riser. Once I replaced it all working without problems
I have tried both 1500 and 1700 windows versions, but not last update to 1800

You need a processor that can support more PCI Express Lanes.
The following is an excerpt from Intel website for Intel g3930 cpu:

Expansion Options
Scalability  1S Only  
PCI Express Revision  3.0  
PCI Express Configurations ‡  Up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4
Max # of PCI Express Lanes  16

NB. Some of these lanes will be used up by other devices e.g. SATA

Also, as in the previous comment, this is a Bitcoin forum not Altcoin!

This guy is 100% wrong. GPUs when mining only need 1x1 lane. 16 lanes is good enough for 16 cards.



I see two main problems. You want to run Windows and you have Vega cards.

Both are a nightmare to mine with. You should sell those Vegas to someone that doesnt know how terrible they are for mining.
I run a ton of these boards with Nvidia cards and have zero issues. Examples below running PiMP OS (www.getpimp.org). (I keep the 13th slot free on all boards in case of a PCIE failure I dont have to mod the rig.)

Hi all,

I'm having issues with my H110 Pro BTC+. It refuses to boot (don't even get BIOS) with more than 9 GPUs installed, on the 10th i get the issue, 9 works fine. I've followed the miners guide and ensured both molex plugs and the Sata connector (so 3 in total) are connected on the motherboard and are also using 3 separate cables back to the master PSU. Can anyone help? OS doesnt matter since it doesnt get that far.

Setup:
H110 pro BTC+
Intel G3930 CPU
4GB Ram
500GB Sata HDD
ATI Rx Vega 64 GPUs
3 x Corsair HX 1200 PSUs (1200 Watts each).

Is there perhaps some sort of undocumented issue with the board not supporting these cards? They require two 8pin PCI-E power connectors each, my power draw should be fine though, I have one PSU dedicated to the mother board and the other two PSUs for the GFX cards. Apart from that anyone got any bright ideas?

This board requires a UEFI boot and tends to revert to CSM mode when booted with less than 10 GPUs powered on. Heck it randomly loses the setting every few weeks for me when one card crashes. Just have to go into bios with less than 10 GPUs powered (turn off PSU not used for motherboard), go to boot menu and disable CSM. Save and reboot. Power off as soon as you see the bios menu. Power on all cards and boot machine. Works every time.

Try replacing the cmos battery.  Ive got quitea few of these and no issue with loss of bios settings except when the battery gets old.

Try the Beta Bios

"In this video I fix an issue with running more than 9 GPUs on an ASRock H110 motherboard by updating to an unreleased Beta BIOS."

CSM problem.

Disable all unused stuff like audio.

I have a 12 card rig running with the exact configuration.

Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G3930 @ 2.90GHz
4gb micron memory
120gb sata

so it does work. These are my bios settings

Disable INTEL VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY
Disable Vt-d
Disable GPU-MULTIMONITOR
Enable Restore on AC/Power Loss
Disable Serial port
Disable Parallel port
Enable Above 4g Decoding
Disable onboard audio
PCI-E Subsystem set to x8/x4/x4
PCI-E Generation set to GEN2

If none of that fixes the problem try putting the card in another slot. that slot might be bad.
