As per title, Ive got 2 13GPU motherboards which I am slowly populating as I get more cards. However one has hit 9 GPUs now and none of the overclock utilities Ive tried work!

What is everyone else using?

Thanks, I've tried that. Doesnt seem very good at remembering set points. Also tried Asus GPU tweak which was actually worse lol

I suppose I'm straying into the unusual, where good software doesnt exist.

Windows will not run  9+ nVidia GPUs. It’s capped at 8.

You’ll have to use SMOS or some other links-based OS.

There was an update last year sometime. It now runs 8+.

I had no problem at all with windows recognising 9 of them and the mining software does with no problem, its the OC utilities I'm struggling with!

Those with afterburner do you see all cards or just the 8? I can only see the 8 cards on AB list.

I'll have to try EVGA hadnt thought to try that one.

Afterburner works with 9+ cards.  However, you have to leave the cards in sync.  If you try to apply individual clocks and power, it will only support 8.

Tried EVGA and it puts an error message "Too many GPUS" on startup.

Im getting on ok with MSI, it will be ok on one rig with 13x1060's. Its the rig with 5 different types of GPU thats a problem.

What about just using nvidia-smi?  You could easily just setup the cards in a batch file before you start your miner... I don't think there's anything it can't do that things like Afterburner can, but I could be wrong.  It certainly lets you adjust core/mem clock rates and set power limits, plus it's nice and light weight.
