Solution to unrecognized graphic cards on motherboard

[Gunday_07]

For those who don't know, especially newbies

I was trouble shooting a friend's desktop motherboard yesterday, the motherboard is an Asus brand and he plans to use the motherboard for mining with brand new two GTX1660 super but the motherboard failed to see or recognized the gpus.


The solution is in the BIOS setting, I turned off 4G Decoding in the BiOS setting and viola! The graphic cards was recognized

set IEEE1394 to DISABLE.
set PCI-E SUBSYSTEM/LANES to x8/x4/x4
set ONBOARD GRAPHICS to DISABLE.
set PCI-E GENERATION to GEN2.
set CPU FREQUENCY SCALING to DISABLE.
set CPU PERFORMANCE MODE to ENABLE.
set FAST BOOT to DISABLE.
set CSM to ENABLE.

Thanks for replying, are you saying this works as well? If yes how will one put it in motion? Can you explain how one will type all this into windows OS and active it? It looks like some kind of code base, please do try to give answer, we are all here to share knowledge, thanks

Few things different than what I know to be the best settings.

set ONBOARD GRAPHICS to DISABLE, this needs to be enabled nvidia or amd, onboard gpu that comes with the cpu is very recommended.
set PCI-E GENERATION to GEN2, this needs to be gen1.

Any cpu overclocking must be off. Any memory settings must be left on auto.
Any port that will not be used must be turned off in the bios too.

set CSM to ENABLE, this must be on on amd and off on nvidia, uefi on nvidia works better.

This is in the biosonly settings.  All my rigs are srt this way and tun no issue up to 13gpus.  I set this way for linux ... windows may have other specific settings.  YMMV.
