RE: My new Nvidia 1060 mining card arrived today

in #mining7 years ago

Great!! I'm still struggling to get mine going... code 12 with the motherboard asus rog strix z270h gaming and the 3 xfx rx480 and asus rx470 also the drivers are pain... I never thought that is this hard! Well if you have any idea I will be happy to hear it :)

Sort:  

Hmm weird... I've heard that the Z270 platform should be better then the old Z170 when it came to multiple card configurations. Have you updated the BIOS? Does it work if you run 3 cards?

I had the same thought! i think it can run 4 cards max if im not wrong, try with 3 cards like @timmyit said if the error stay the same check your risers.

Thanks for the suggestion! But as a newbie I think I messed up somewhere in the system with all those drivers and stuff ..

Well it works with 2, code 12 on 3, and one does't even detect it. I will try to update the bios.. but I heard that there are some settings in the bios but I still don't know what exactly to change. Also I'm not sure witch driver to use .. Thanks for the help!

Ah i see, well i'll give you some good youtubers links i hope you find the solution there and try to look at Bitcointalk forum maybe you'll find out how to fix that problem!

Thank you for the links! I searched but I didn't find anything related with the system setup for mining also didn't find the drivers that I should use. Also I don't know how to setup the bios in the motherboard for mining... Thank you again :)

I have seen these with with different motherboards that uses the z170 chipset. Here are the settings which helped me get pass the problem and mining with 5/6 GPUs.

In BIOS, look for and set:

  1. "4G Decode" to ENABLE (this enables the PCI-E bus to use more than 4GB of memory address space)
  2. FAST BOOT to DISABLE (I believe this allows the system more time to enumerate the PCI-E devices)
  3. AUDIO to DISABLE (basically disable onboard audio to free up memory space)
  4. Set PEG/PCI-E to GEN1 (some boards likes GEN2 so try both)
  5. On some Biostar boards, need to set MAX TOLUD size to largest size and NOT Dynamic. (like 3.5GB)

Hope this helps!

Thank you I will try it! I have a problem understanding number 5.. Where I can find it?
