Are your chipset drivers already installed yet ?

Intel C612 chipset drivers....

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81756/Intel-C612-Chipset

Thank you Matrix, yes I also updated the chipset drivers, with newer one.
BTW, my Chipset is C610/X99, and the most recent I was able to find was ver. 10.1.2.10.

First the PCIe slots are numbered from bottom to top with the white ones from CPU 2 and the blue ones from CPU 1, to me that suggests two separate PCIe channels. I'm guessing that the 2 different generations of cards are not working together on this motherboard. From your description you ended up with one card on the white slot and one on the blue. So I believe if you want to add another card in the future, if it is another 780ti, place it in the same color slot as your first card.

Hi J, tnx for the hint, and thanx for taking the time to read the manual of a MoBo you don't own, I really appreciate that !!
Well, I've been fighting all evening with this Mobo and his 7-read-7 PCI slots...
The connection schema of the PCI Slot to CPU are part of the equation, but what you can't see on the manual, is that on the Bios, you can also set the Link speed and the Width, so the variables became a lot !!
So after a couple of hours of "try-and-error" approach, rather frustrating I had to say, I read the manual again and decide to act as if I had to install an homogeneous 4 way SLI, but instead I wanted to install 1x780ti and 3x660ti, NOT in SLI.
I followed the instruction, putting the link width at 16x for slots 1,3,5,7, set generation to Gen2 for stability, connected an extra power link from PSU to the Mobo, for voltage/current stability and rebooted :



Surprise ! All four GPUs... ;-)

And this is the power consumption ( @220V) read on Corsair Link sofware connected via USB to the PSU :



I tell ya, not bad for a dual Xeon V3 with 48 cores@100% and 4 Gpus...

Now, the next step would be to try to fill the remaining 3 PCI slots, but...unfortunately I almost run out of connection on the mighty Corsair AX1500i PSU...: only two PCI-E power connections left, so I'll have to wait until the GTX 1070 will arrive to test it "full spread".

I'm not really familiar now with the setting in app_config.xml for a 48 core ( 24 physical ) system with four nvidia GPUs, but I'm opening a new thread for this.
Thank you, however...

A.

I love reading manuals for boards I don't own. When I'm shopping for parts, that is how I determine what is right for me. I'm building my own dual xeon system and I'm hoping to have it running for the WOW event. I'm not sure I have enough income to achieve that goal, but it's going to be close.

my Chipset is C610/X99,

http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=EP2C612%20WS#Specifications

That´s WRONG. hehe watch this side theres is truly a C612 Chipset...

that must be the fault...

If it the installer installs your set of drivers , there must be something wrong, and u have to install the right drivers manualy over the device manager.

To get those drivers -> u must set a junction on the desktop to the setup.exe file, rightclick properties and insert following:

C:\SetupChipset.exe -extract c:\Intel

Now all drivers are in the "Intel" folder , u need the folder "haswelle".

---

Your system is a master! I wish I had something like this for seti. No GPUs?

---

Hello Matrix, thank you for the info.
Hmm..I don't really know how I could get them wrong but I effectively did...
I got the drivers for 610 from here : http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/intel-chipset-software-installation-10-1-2-10-whql-download,1.html ...but I was lucky, because I have just compared them with the one from the link you gave to me, and the binary comparison of the two executable says that the file is exactely the same, bit by bit.
So apparently, 610 chipset and 612 share the same inf files...

Thank you tho !!!

See the last post, 3x 660Ti + 780Ti. On the i7 a 1080 :DDDDDDDDDD and of course the tiny Intel "gpu"....

Oh well..of course we always try to improve... ;-) ...so today I added the 5th GPU...a humble GTX 660 ( not ti ).

So here' some picture of the actual rig :





The power consuption, did raise at 700/800 W tho.... :-(



Anyway still waiting for the two GTX 1070 which should arrive any moment...my "dream" would be to accomodate them on the two PCI slot left... :-D

Ciao
A.

What an overhaul, hope there isn´t a intenion to mine ?

Who´s paying the electricity bill ? Not me for sure. *duckandrun* *fromtheflyingshoe*

https://www.alternate.de/Corsair/AX1500i-PC-Netzteil/html/product/1120621

Energy effiency at 94% , that could be paid...

---

Where did you get those adapters to connect the cards?

---

They can be buyed at amazon, u know...the come from ...u know where...

https://www.amazon.com/Fixable-Adapter-Flexible-Extension-Connector/dp/B00IMYODGS

don´t know if it´s the best price

LMAO

9.99 .com

@Brent

9.99 .com

...but I saw this on amazon.ca :

Which looks exactly the same to mine..

@Matrix
A thought crossed my mind about about mining, butfor now I'm really happy to stay with the aliens searchers.. ;-)


Well, I had a phone call : the two GTX 1070 arrived today, so this evening I'll try to add them to the PC.

Sounds exciting, I hope your install with the 1070s goes smoothly. The issue I ran into when adding my 980Ti SC to the 48 core rig with the 1080 FTW is that the new EVGA Precision software version that works with the 10x0 series cards, that controls the overclocking and such, doesn't play at all with the previous generation cards. It shows them fine, but when you try to click on the 980 for example, it pops up saying sorry, only works with 1070 and 1080 cards. I ended up using the old version to control them both, but it was less than optimal, it doesn't work with the new cards nearly as well as the version that is designed for it, but whattya gonna do, it's either that, or not control the 9xx and older cards at all. EVGA doesn't have a solution, and doesn't know if/when they will, which I found amazing. Let me know how you end up controlling yours, and how it works for you. I am interested to see how well those 1070's work on the USB extenders, as this weekend I will most likely be following in your footsteps with a build that is similar, and if you run into any gotchas, it'd be good to hear about them. Great work on this, and glad it seems to be working ok so far for you!
