hey just figure it out looking closely on this, one of your cards are on 16x.
your processor have 20 pcie lanes, so probably you are using something on USB too that is consuming one pcie lane, you need to get the GPU 4 to be listed with “PCIE Link Width x1” too instead of x16
@ballyhoo that is your issue, there is no more lanes available to the card
Funny to hear about the lanes, that is exactly what I am investigating about right now.
I experimented with the x16 to x4 a few days ago to no avail, but it came to my mind again and I looked at the specs of the CPU, which said 16 lanes for GPU and 4 lanes for the m2 drives.
It could be, that the chipset has more lanes for the x1-slots, but I will give it a try.
Thank you so much for your input.
Nothing changed, no matter what I changed in the BIOS.
But the customer service from ASRock answered, here is what they said:
Dear customer,
It is not about PCIE 2.0 or 3.0, but about the hardware that can be addressed.
The first 2 PCIE slots are connected to the CPU, the other slots are connected to the chipset.
What you need is a function called Above 4G decoding, but this only works when CSM is disabled, and the graphics cards support GOP
Since the new Agesa codes have a number of changes, it can be this function is available in the BIOS, but I cannot tell, each Agesa is different.
There is no Beta BIOS
So I tried again to disable CSM with 4G decoding, this time only with one GPU attached.
It started and mined.
Then I attached one GPU after the other, but with the fifth it denied to start.
It will not even reach the ASRock screen to go into the BIOS.
So I tried with one card to go into the BIOS again, but as soon as the first page of the BIOS appeared, it started again.
What can that be, it’s starting with one card in HiveOS and is mining, but you can’t access the BIOS.
And what is meant with “support for GOP”, the 1660 Super is a current model, so it should have support for GOP, or am I wrong?
Hello, having the same issue adding the second 2060 on a ASROCK h110.
still unable to fix it
Have you disabled CSM and set Above 4G decoding?
Have you seen this post?
Thanks Christian @ballyhoo.
Glad to have a replay to my question, it is really appreciated.
Tomorrow morning I will go ahead following your suggestions.
I will keep you posted.
Thanks
Marcello
Quick status UPDATE (I hope this helps who are facing the same issue)
I have been able to fix it and have my rig fully working.
I followed the points that @ballyhoo explained to me, step by step.
I also changed one card power cables and riser.
Magic!!!
So, a quick suggestion for the ASROCK H110BTC+'owners… follow step by step the setup guide, power up everything needed and tune the MoBo.
Thats’it.
@ballyhoo beer paid, thanks.
I think, the mobo will not work with six GPUs at all.
Last answer from ASRock customer service:
I checked with Taiwan, but , X370 Pro4 supports Supports AMD Quad CrossFireX, we only guarantee 4AMD GPUs for this motherboard.
You can try to disable the onboard audio, and serial port, to see if this frees up enough resources.
Regarding CSM, this only works if the graphics cards are GOP compatible, meaning that UEFI will not detect the card, but the card must fulfill some standards, that are compatible with UEFI.
In this case, the issue is that the cards, do not properly support GOP, maybe a firmware update helps, but only the manufacturer can tell.
One thing is certain, we cannot solve this in a BIOS.
Who has six of these cards running and with which mobo?
So I switched Mobo to MSI B450-A PRO MAX, changed the BIOS to 4G enabled, connected all cards and it works. Halleluja …
Anyway, thanks for all the help I received.
I have the same problem with those tu116 - gtx 1660
And i have made like ballyhoo sad .
But in first time it dosent work then ill reset miner and help in such a way that it show gtx 1660 normaly but it dosent started mining , after this ill power of and on and it is anather tiem the same i have b150 m night elf from msi .
Did you find a solution? I have the same MB and same problem…
its riser problem
unfortunately not, I had to replace motherboard and processor and now it is mining with all other peripherals and components, it is something related with the motherboard or the processor.
Vibe, thats suks… I did the same… Returned yesterday my motherboard… Thanks for replying
I have the same problem with a Biostar TB360 mother … I tried another mother (an Asus Z490-P) and it solved the problem. What motherboard are you using?
as I stated before it was a AsRock Z490 + PentiumGold
What Processor you got with that motherboard?
I got the same error with 1660 ti. GPU and Riser power cable was loose, I fixed it and problem solved
