Need assistance tried everything from bios update, new cables, risers, etc.


Running team green 6GPU setup on a Biostart TB250 with HiveOS.

Maxes out at 4 gpu’s doesn’t read all 6 any and all advice / solutions would be greatly appreciated.


Rig was working 300% till the old mobo died. All GPU’s work perfectly alone.



Thanks in advance
Jelly
 
Have you enabled mining mode in the bios?
 
Id suggest a boot from a windows drive and check if all 6 show up in Device Manager, GPU-Z and MSI Afterburner.
 
is the PSU strong enough? the PSU sometimes could be working but isnt running full capacity anymore, try a diff PSU
 
Power supply was running everything on old mobo

Will give bios settings a try as HiveOs shows all gpu’s but only 4/6 actually work

Thanks

This is from the document above for the TB250-BTC

(3). Check BIOS setting. (Or use BIOS default setting)
Enable Mining mode (Chipset / Mining Mode)
Enable Above 4G Decoding (Chipset / System Agent (SA) Configuration / Above 4G MMIO BIOS Assignment)
Disable CSM Support (Boot / CSM support )
=>Disable CSM support option , it will only recognize UEFI device.

This mobo can be a pain.. Also power the PCIe molex connectors and see if it will make a difference. Obviously 4G encoding enabled and you can also play with the Gen setting for the PCIe in the bios. (select different gens and see if it fixes the issue)
 
I have an Asus 270A Prime with 8x Nvidia 1060's and everything was working fine. I moved to a new house and the miner was unplugged for a month or so and now it has the same issue. Any combo of 6x of the GPU's together and the thing boots but it wont boot with all 8 at once. I just get a black screen. Got new risers and another PSU but same issue. Pain in the ass to troubleshoot these things.

This board doesn’t have the 4G encoding option, bios updated to latest version.
 
Hey bud its called mining mode in bios that is 4g encoding.

Enable mining mode 6+ if you have installed windows in eufei mode,
 
Check your risers test each card on all risers maybe two risers is faulty.

Try other PCIE slots.......
Try changing the speed of the PCIE slots (think this is the PCIe Gen settings)
There must be some kind of G4 setting.

Hope you come right mate
 
@Voldoverse1 Doesnt have advanced system mode

Model name: TB250-BTC
Bios version: B25CF214.BSS
Build date: 02/14/2017
 
Apologies, for some reason i thought you asked for asus z270 prime

I believe the tb250 equivalent to 4g decoding is literally called mining mode somewhere in the pci setting on the bios
 
ok when you boot does the splash screen shows all pcie slots yellow?

does it matter on wich pcie slots you put the 4 gpus? if you have updated the bios, set the 4G/mining mode to enable and set all the pcie slots to gen 2. then it could be a faulty board
 
Mobo works perfectly fine for gaming then my rig mobo died and replaced it with the biostar mining board, which ever slot I use for GPU’s it only see’s 4x
