Yo fella miners!
Mobo: MSI Z77A GD65 (7 slots), wanted to try it with 8 cards..
I got my 1->3 slot PCI-E splitter a few days ago.
The extender itself worked for first try on win10. I even tried it with all 3 slots occupied it was doing well.
But It does not boot no matter what, when the total number of cards are greater than 7.
No POST, just error code on the mobo. Code is 95, that means pci init error afaik.
Any suggestions how could I bypass this error or is that a hardware limitation that can't be fixed?
I already disabled all unnecessary integrated hw in the BIOS that could take pci-lanes.
Tried the extender in different slots, but it's irrelevant to the error. Only the total number of cards seems to affect the phenomena.
Any ideas?

You'll have to use a linux flavor or perhaps ethOS?
Tried setting gen3 from auto to disabled, but no effect.
So that is not true?
just that i got error code 12 in the device manager,
Try to changing bios setting and resetting mobo bios but also cant work, have try 6+GPU mod also not working.
I havent try to clean the driver before installing the 8th card, as i just dont have time to play with it anymore.
Im using MSI Z97 Gaming 5
I have seen 8 gpus showing in device manager in a rig with 8 x 1080 cards. Maybe the 7 card limitation is in the amd driver..?
