Hey guys, I've been fighting an issue for weeks now and have come to no avail and I'm beginning to lose interest in even fixing the issue.
Specs are:
MSI Z270 M5 MoBo
16gb DDR4
(4) Gigabyte Radeon Rx570 4g
1000w PSU
i5 quad core @ 3.8ghz
currently using Newegg special powered risers, new risers should be here today or tomorrow.
Here is a link to my first thread here, nothing I've changed has improved the system:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2789189.msg29237554#msg29237554 I started off with a 2 GPU unit as it was just a middle ground gaming build that I decided to add a couple more GPUs to, and when I was running two GPU's it was fine, I added the third one and it was fine, but once I tried to run 4 GPUs I started running into freezing issues on both Nicehash and Claymore.
To add insult to injury I cannot get my Aorus Graphics engine to open up in VGA mode, it always opens up into gaming box mode or force closes before the app actually opens. I have been able to get the graphics engine to open only 2 or 3 times, but it's never consecutively, it's always after multiple restarts and compatibility troubleshooting and random clicks of the mouse. Once the computer locks up or I have to restart it one of the cards goes dark (LEDs don't run, but the card works), two stay the selected color, and another picks a color of the spectrum. I've tried calling Gigabyte 3 times, left my name and number multiple times, and still haven't heard back from them.
I've wiped the computer clean, started fresh, reinstalled all the drivers, Aorus graphics engine almost always doesn't install because it says "the files are corrupted" on all 4 discs as well as the download from their website, reinstalled windows, and still the same issues. I've tried setting my latency to 96, I've left it stock. I've tried changing my speeds from gen 1 to gen 2. I've got over 4g compatibility enabled in the MoBo bios, and am still running factory clock speeds and voltages on the GPUs.
When the computer is running I'm hashing at 2.3-2.5 KH/sec on Cryptonight, temps are between 55-62*
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing that I need to change to keep the computer from becoming confused with 4 GPUs? I'm pretty much out of ideas as to how to fix both the freezing issue and the issue of Aorus not running, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys,
Nick
