Hi guys! It’s been 2 days as I am trying to fight my msi Z390-A PRO… I am using pcie splitter 1 to 4 in order to connect a grand total of 8 cards (6x 3070s and 2x 3080). I have finally upgraded the bios and changed all the settings in my bios to recognize multiple cards I finally got it to work with 8 cards but after running for like 5 mins the exact same 3080 just errors out and does not want to mine has anyone come across the same siutuation? I cannot find anymore info online … Would really appreciate some insight into how to make this bad boy work on a regular and stable (side note: I start to think the number of PCIE lanes is simply not enough on this one and it cannot handle more than 7 cards, however on other forums people say they make 9 or at least 8 work with no problem) the cpu I am using on this rig is Celeron G4930 (3.2 ghz) and by settings I mean: Latest bios Enable 4g decoding Set to gen1 Disable all sata ports (not being used) Disable fast boot Disable hd audio Set windows WHQL config and boot to EUFI
I though maybe I should move my splitter from x16 pcie slot to 4x since I think pcie x1 slot for 3080 is not enough to transmit info, but it really does not make too much sense since a splitter carrying 3 cards def requires more pcie lines to transmit than just one 3080
