This has probably already been mentioned but I tried 3 way sli on my Z77 thunderbolt Asus, and though the cards were recognize, they would not sli due to the power of the 4x slot. So how on earth do you manage to get 6 gpus on pcie slots that don't have enough power? How do you sli 6 gpu's? How many power supplies? And why not a motherboard that can handle 4 cards at 8x and start there? Sorry for so many questions, but I am a curious MF right now
This was my thinking (see above).As i found out, the Z chip sets are down right useless for mining, as they tend to max out at around 3/4 pci lanes, it may have more, but they are blocked off due to small amount of lanes, and being that they are gaming boards for the most part, they tend to just be 3/4, i think you are, like myself a victim of not enough PCI lanes.
I can make my Gigabyte board run 3 gpus, it doeesnt care how i plug the, I got 2 of them running pci-e 1x and one in pci-e 8x, the board has picked out the GPU connectec to the second PCI-e to be the main card. No idea why?
But i do think its the motherboard holding you back.
