Asus P8Z77-V LK / PCI Risers

[Smokezz]

Hey all,

I've got a couple P8Z77-V LK motherboards and I can't seem to get cards to work with PCI risers.  I've tried two different kinds of risers, but the GPU's aren't detected at all using risers.  I've tried with and without the jumper wire... anyone have this motherboard and have it working with risers?  Any trick to getting it working?  I have 3 more GPU's finally arriving today and won't be able to use two of them if I can't get this working... (they work plugged into the mobo but get far too hot)

That board will only run 4 GPU's.. I have a couple of them hashing.  What slots and what size risers are you using???  That board likes 1x risers and do not use the first 1x slot.

My setup is:
1x riser in slot 2 (16x slot/blue)
1x riser in slot 3 (1x slot/blue)
1x riser in slot 5 (16x/white)
16x riser in slot 7 (16x/black)

I've got cards on the board in slot 2 and 7.  I've tried a riser on slot 1 (which you've said won't work) and slot 5 - do I need a jumper wire on a 16x slot when using a 1x riser?  I've tried both a 16x riser and 1x USB style riser (both powered) with the same results but I haven't had a jumper on the 16x slot.  I don't know which pins to short for a 16x slot if it needs one.

Tried a riser in slot 2, card isn't recognized.
