[SOLVED] Here’s how:
I found out the hard way… that running 12x MSI RX 580 GPUs was drawing too much power from the power supplies. The reason why the rigs would go into boot loops, is because the total power drawn from the power supplies was greater than was immediately available. I had spec’d the power supplies to provide enough juice to the GPUs, but with not too much overhead.
-
The solution was, to immediately go to the Overclocking tab of each new rig as it booted, and change the Core State Index value to:
-
“1”.
This would allow each rig to run without crashing and/or endlessly boot looping.
A value of “1” instructs the GPUs to reduce power in idle cores, while a value of “7” would increase power consumption drastically on all cores (5 is the default value).
So, in order to be able to work and configure each 12 GPU rig, I had to start each rig with as little power consumption as possible.
