Do you think my USB 32gb is the issue of not running stable, you said you run on SSD? What size? I’m running into out of memory error kill process and says my total-vm is 18GB
Don’t use USB!
It was my mistake at the beginning too, that I was trying to run it with USB.
USB is not fast enough to run 13 GPUs work. OS will be overloaded with queued jobs, some GPUs will go offline and Load Average will increase very fastly and rig will restart frequently because of high LA.
Definetly use SSD!
I use 120 GB SSD.
And another issue is internet connection. This was my another mistake at the beginning.
I was using wifi connection and then I realized it was not good. I connected rig to router with ethernet cable. That increased stability but not enough. Because there were too much devices at home using internet > 1 desktop, 3 laptop, 4 mobile phone, 1 smart tv, 1 tablet. So I decided to do some client limitations. In router, I divided traffic in two parts. One part was dedicated to rig. All other devices can use only other half part of bandwidth. Thus rig has a constant and undisturbed connection speed. After that arrangement, reboots because of high LA are ceased.
My recommendation is:
1- Use SSD
2- Don’t use wifi connection
3- Provide constant internet connection to your rig
Which make and model SSD did you use? Thanks for your help!

Im using from USB3.0 without any problems; its stable for weeks. How can I create image from my USB drive and transfer it to SSD ? I have made some tweaks and need to use this particular “build” to SSD…
How many GPU you have on there and what’s your BIOS settings (Asrock H110 right?)
No, I have B250 mining expert. How do I create image from my USB disk?
I cannot get the white pci-e slots to work…any idea?
nope. if i do, it won’t even boot. Is that really necessary when the cards are powered?
I plugged in the molex and it boots now, but the white slots are still dead.
You have to connect both power inlets. Otherwise there will be not enough power to run all 13 PCIE slots.
- First, Reset BIOS by removing BIOS battery (wait at least 30 seconfs)
- connect just one GPU to the x16 slot (longest one). Power up (push buttom on motherboard) and enter BIOS. Modify the values in BIOS as written below:
OC Tweaker\Voltage Conf:
PCH VoH: 1200 mV
VCCIO: 1200 mV
Advanced\Chipset Conf:
Above 4GB mmio: Enabled
VT-d: Disabled
All PCIE link speeds: Gen2
All ASPM Supports: Disabled
IOAPIC 24-119: Enabled
IGPU: Enabled
HD Audio: Disbaled
Reset Power Loss: power ON
For LINUX:
-Insert your HiveOS install USB (ıf you use 5700 XT you have use BETA versions (HivesOS: 5.6.0-200909-hiveos-beta). Other versions does not work!
-Save and exit BIOS
-When HiveOS install finished, it will power off automatically
- Power on again and run your rig with only one GPU (you have to create and assign Flight Sheet)
- If everything seems OK (1 GPU is mining etherium) now you can pass to stage for remaining 12 GPUs
- Restart it and enter BIOS. In Boot section “Disable” CSM.
- Save and exit. When rebooted, cut the power before boot. Now connect all GPUs to the remaining x1 slots (short ones). Check that all GPU’s risers sand power connections are provided and correct .
Power on again and All 13 GPU should be recognized suddenly and work without any problem.
One important point!: If number of connected GPUs drop to below 10, CSM will be “Enabled” automatically and it will not boot. In this case you have to clear BIOS again by removing BIOS battery, wait 30 seconds and start everything from beginning.
If still white slots do not work, there should be another problem that I do not know. Contact to AsRock.
Thank you so much! I have done all this, still no luck. Broken Mobo?
You may have a bad motherboard or you just can’t see the video, try resetting the mobo with CMOS reset jumper or take out the battery. Then use either:
Option 1: use HDMI cable to the GPU that is connected to the PCIE x16 slot, the longest slot.
Option 2: use DVI-D cable to the motherboards integrated video.
If it still doesn’t work then the mobo is dead
I never had issues with the white ports
it worked fine before, dunno what i am doing wrong. onboard graphics is working fine. Just cannot get more than 6 cards going.
Did you OC the cards in HiveOS? So it doesn’t boot after 6 GPU? Maybe you are not powering them correctly. I use at least 900W for 6GPU with OC, you can’t power 6 GPU if they are not OC to reduce the power. So you need two PSU for 6 GPU if you haven’t reduced the power.
There is a specific PCIE order if you OC.
But what’s your hashrate?
