Hi everybody,
New to this forum and to mining in general. I managed to build a 6 GPU Nvidia (1070 + 1070Ti) mining rig using MSI Z270-A Pro motherboard. For some reason the PCIe x1 slot number 5 does not detect the GPU in Windows 10. I tried swapping multiple risers but still does not help. I put the same card into a different slot and it does work. I tried another card into the slot number 5 and it does not get recognized. But I can see the card in the MSI BIOS board menu.
Tried following settings:
- Integrated graphics: on/off
- PCIe speed: Gen 1/2/Auto
- 4G/Mining support: enabled
Currently the rig is working with 5 cards. I'd appreciate help with making the 6th card work. Ideally I'd like to run 7 cards on this rig. 6 using pcie slots and 1 on M.2 to PCIe card. I have just ordered this card:

If it happens so the PCIe slot number 5 is not working I might want to use a PCIe multiplier card instead. Cant find a card with enough positive reviews. Would also appreciate some input on this.
Thank you,
Ruben
