H110Pro cant get win to boot with more than 6x 2080

[notsure85]

Trying to setup an ASRock H110 with 8x 2080.
With 7th gpu installed windows boots but freezes on login.
I had 7x 1080 running on the same board before.

Win10 1809
i5
16GB RAM
256GB Disk
417.71 drivers
usb risers
Bios P1.10
above 4g transcoding set in bios
pci gen1 link speed in bios

The risers are plugged in the pcie slots with one free between each other ( to narrow), except for the first 2 slots.
Does that make any difference? havent tried other slots yet.

Any hints are very welcome.

Thanks

You have to install all updates and everything gonna be OK. I'm using ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ with 12 AMD cards with  Windows 10 Enterprise (x64) Build 16299.402 (1709/RS3). You have to check BIOS settings and maybe update BIOS to the latest version.

I solved it with setting pcie to gen2 and switching to linux.
Took me 2 days to figure out how to setup ubuntu with nvidia driver properly, x server config, oc and so on.
Works better than it ever did on windows.

switching to linux

Theres the solution to your problem. If you are willing to invest that kind of money into video cards, why are you taking the lazy route on your OS? Windows will end up costing you money over time.


P.S. There are plenty of distros that are linux based that will automate mining. My personal recommendation is PiMP (www.getpimp.org) because i run it on hundreds of my machines with no issues.

Heres an example of a machine that has been running almost a year with zero issues mining ETH:
