Hello, I’m running into a problem I’ve never seen before and have been unable to resolve. Was able to get 5060
TIs running on several rigs no problem by installing updated Nvidia drivers. However, I can only run 1, 3, or 5 cards in each of the rigs. I’d prefer to run 4 do to my power setup, but for some reason any time I try to run 2, 4, or 6 cards in a rig, the network adapter cannot be detected by HiveOS for some reason I’ve been unable to figure out. I’ve tried different generations of PCIe among every setting I can think of in the BIOS, trying to use only specific slots in the motherboards, and switching out risers. Nothing except running with only an odd number of cards seems to work. I have several rigs running 4060TIs on the same motherboards and can run from 1-6 cards on any of those just fine with no issues (tried them on this specific motherboard as well with 1-5 cards and worked no problem with the 4060TIs). Has anyone run into this problem or have any ideas I can try to fix it? Thanks for the help.
can you explain more on your hardware setup, what motherboard, using splitters? latest bios?
Motherboard is PRIME B550-PLUS AC-HES ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Firmware is from January and I just noticed they have a newer one released in September (I can try updating that tonight to see if there is any change). No splitters except when I attempted 6 cards the one time. Was using risers 1 to each PCIe slot (has 5 x16 slots on the board). Just to rule out the risers being a factor I did try plugging up to 3 5060TIs directly into the slots on the board (3 is the most that would fit directly). 1 or 3 would work fine but when it was only 2 it said it couldn’t detect the Network card the same as when I would put 2 or 4 with the risers. Tried with 1-3 4060TIs in the same slots and that worked regardless of how many were connected (1, 2, or 3 cards all worked). Nvidia drivers were updated to 580.95.05 to get the 5060TIs to work.
what kernel image are you running? bios update would be where id start, i would also try forcing gen 1 for all pcie. really interesting with the odd/even thing, haven’t seen that before at all.
It seems I was able to resolve my own issue but wanted to post in case anyone else has the same issue. I tried another older motherboard I had and was able to run 2 5060TI cards without a problem. Figured at that point it had to be an issue on the motherboard I wasn’t seeing, so I looked more deeply into some of the BIOS settings and under PCI Subsystem Settings found a setting labeled SR-IOV Support that was disabled. Figured it was the only PCI related setting I hadn’t tried to mess with yet so enabled it. I can now run 2 or 4 cards fine on this particular motherboard.
