Hello,

Ok so Ive been having an abundance of problems witha mining rig I set up. ITs been a week now and Im still not running :/
Ive fixed most of my problems got my comp running with 5 gpus connected. (This was hard)

Now only 2 of my gpus seem to be working. The other three are getting ( This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12))
I can not for the life of me figure it out. I will pay for someone to help me fix it fg. Even if you have to remote my computer have it set up rdy.

Heres my Mobo
https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/Z170-A-PRO.html#hero-specification
Than Im running
2 x gtx 1060
2 x gtx 970s
gtx 1070.

I also have a rx 480 . Im basically trying to get the most cards I can on this mobo I figured just sticking with the nvidea ones would be better


Edit: Ive just finished doing a fresh install of windows. I than installed the motherboard chip set and than the graphics drivers. Same problem recognizes only 2 gpus.

well im even suprised if it just detect's 2 1060's (if that's what you put first) cause their not meant for crossfire

I'm pretty sure you can only use graphic cards of the same model, such as 970's with 970's and 1070 with 1070. otherwise it won't be added as a combination. would be cool if that could happen though


or does that not happen with mining?

i almost was on this topic, my first gut instinct was software issue/crossfire

OP theres no reason to run anything in sli for mining
you also don't need to be using all the same graphics card

you could try running each slot at 4x if you only have 20 lanes
i am not sure how bandwidth intensive this workload is, recommend making sure it won't be a huge bottleneck first by only running the 1070 at 16x then at 4x and seeing if there's a a major difference in throughput.

In b4 Corsair cx 450 psu

lmao make that 430

hell even if that psu had enough pcie connectors (including w/ molex adapters) to power that many gpu's, they would just all throttle down to 100-200mhz and he'd get perfcapped by power.
Or the thing will just refuse to POST.

Nah its running a 1300 platinum so psu is not the problem.

No sli needed for mining.



Where is this setting in bios I couldnt find it earlier. Im currently upgrading to windows 10 and doing a flash bios to see if that fixs anything.
