Hey all.
Built my first mining rig and im having the issue that i only get 5 cards working.
If i plug in the 6th card either it wont show up at all OR the computer will only detect 2 cards suddenly.

Im using usb risers with SATA connectors, is that the issue? been told recently that my sata risers was bad.
But i can get 5 up and running so im not sure about it.

Its an Asus Strix Z270F Gaming
6x Asus Nvidia 1070
and http://www.chieftec.eu/en/psus/ps-2/proton-series/bdf-1000c.html that PSU.

Bios is updated to latest.
4g decoding is enabled.
and i set all the PCIe to gen2.
Disabled HD Audio

set the PCIe to gen 1, also do you have ALL gpus on risers? if you have one directly installed to the motherboard, that could be causeing it as that one gpu is using more pcie lanes than what we actually need. next question would be whats the psu wattage? I run 6x evga 1070's no problem on a 1200w psu, also don't use the sata connectors there poorly made and usually have smaller guage wire than what should have been used

No all my GPUs are on risers.
As i linked, my PSU is on 1000W, should be fine, i've heard of people using as low as 850W PSU for 6x 1070s :O
And i was thinking 1000W would be fine.
Tried running mining on 5 cards but it wasnt stable at all, it was running fine for like maybe an hour or less then one card disappeared and only had 4 cards active.
Its perfectly stable and fine with 4 cards :/
