Hey Red Panda. I loved this video and wanted to share an idea I had to try and solve your issue with 16 card limit. PCIe 1.0 bandwidth is 250MB/sec per lane PCIe 2.0 bandwidth is 500MB/sec per lane PCIe 3.0 bandwidth is 1GB/sec per lane PCIe 4.0 bandwidth is 2GB/sec per lane The total PCIe lane bandwidth of your threadripper is 32GB/sec as it has 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes. If you were to go into your bios and change the PCIe mode to 1.0, it should free up tons of lanes for gpus to use at a lower bandwidth. If you do the math, this should in theory allow you do have 128 gpus connected to your motherboard with a bandwidth of 250MB/sec per card instead of 16 with a bandwidth of 2GB/sec as the amount of available lanes would be increased by about 8x taking you from 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes to 128 PCIe 1.0 lanes allowed by the available bandwidth of your CPU. 1.0 speeds should be sufficient for mining as there is way way way less data being transmitted as compared to rendering graphics in a video game and should not impact hashrates. If you really wanted to you could run in PCIe 2.0 mode and have about 64 cards connected at 500MB/sec bandwidth per card instead, but 1.0 should work just fine. I do not have enough cards available to me yet to test this myself, but I would love to see what you can do with this knowledge.
Hi RedPanda! I think you already used all your pcie lanes. Every Card is using 4 lanes, and if you multiply it by 16 cards, you’ll have 64. 1 pcie lane is just measured as bandwidth with the CPU. GPU’s need between 4 and 16 lanes in order to work efficiently. If you had a threadripper with 128 lanes, your project I am sure will be successful!. Love watching your channel.
But like a z270 board only has 16 lanes but that can support 6 gpus, right? 6 cards * 4 lanes = 24 and not 16. And another thing, The splitter uses only a pcie16x1 slot and can support 4 gpus. So how dose that work? You can´t get 4 lanes from a pcie 16x1 slot, or am I wrong??
since its an x16 slot, it would only allow 16. When you add another card, it "in theory" the system will automatically drop all the slots down to x8. I bet you if you don't put more then 8 cards per PCIE slot, it would work
check the board specs. It would say something like "if only 1 PCIE slot is being used it will be X16. If 2 or more PCIE slots are used they will only be X8."
good stuff. wonder if you could disable pci-e slots then - seems a bit shitty - why should each pci-e slot definitely need to work, just let us use up the pci-e on less slots ahaha
as someone else already mentioned: the asrock phantom gaming 6 (use it myself) is a X399 platform which supports Threadripper gen1 and gen2. you cant run a gen3 threadripper in that mobo. BUT you already got the m2. to pcie adapters. this board has 3 m.2 slots. what if you use the pcie splitters in these? they are all pcie x4. did that work at all?
hello, all clear and very interesting. but what settings did you have to enter for the bios of the mobo? personally i just started mining and i am using a gigabyte ga-f2a85x-up4 but i can't run more than 3 gpus on 3 different slots.
x399 1st gen mobos only support 1st/2nd gen threadripper cpus. To go to 3rd gen threadripper you would need a x399 trx4/trx8 mobo. 1st gen x399 is tr4. IIRC 128 lanes are on threadtipper pro aswell.
This is so great! An itx motherboard with 4gpus plugged directly into the bifurcation card would be really cool to see. Maybe a custom angle metal "case"
I've had the same issue with the parallel miner PSU link. You just have to get the two PSU breakout boards to the same position (on or off) then connect the cables
Try to add a 17th card with the x1 straight into the motherboard, and if that owrks try the card but test all the slots with an x1. Also verify that the other cards work. And make sure you've used "restart" once and not only shutdown before adding the 17th card.
really awesome work, i love that!!! maybe a pcie switch (not splitter) can help you. This is a microchip on the extender card, which is working like a network NAT
What needs to happen to get one splitter to work is it plug and play or does the bios need settings changed reason I'm asking is I have a optiplex 790 Mobo that I want to run 2 gpu from but only the pcie x 16 work. When a gpu is in the pcie x4 slot it causes the pc to power cycle. The bios only has the option to enable a pcie lol
Great experiment! I want to try it too but lacking of gpus just for testing. But I could probably make it work and see if my 16gpu + 2 in hiveos can beat that using pcie 1 to 4. Nice videos!
How are those pcie multipliers working out for you? I mean the small ones. I've been struggling with those, specially the ones that don't go directly into the slot, they have a USB cable that connects them. The gpus connect to them go down constantly. Sometimes the rig stays up for a day or two, other times it can't hold for a few minutes. Seems to be related to the room temperature.
I did a 13th nvidia on mine only after watching your last video on this rig. The only way I was able to get it to work was to add the last few gpus 1 at a time between boots. Try 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 one at a time, and I feel your pain with the batch file lol. Good luck man
I just changed the pads on a couple of 3080's with the exact ones you got, pads themselves seem pretty decent (some did come a little squished on the edges, but for the amount of pad you get I let that slide), temps are back down to 74C like they should be. Takes a while to clean the oil tho :(
What is the BIOS on this? And what motherboard please?? I am having a struggle with running 4 GPUs on the same motherboad, it is a an ASUS B-450F STRIX with 6 PCIe slots. I can put 2 cards… but then anything above 2 it just doesn’t boot and erases the BIOS on the motherboard… please help?
Try placing the 4x4x4x4 adapter on the other slots, just to verify if it will work on those. To clarify. The one with 16 gpus on it, place it on the 2nd and 3rd slot, without the other adapters
How much power are those x4 splitter cards rated for? does it cleanly split the correct amount of power between the lanes and what is the max they can do?
Red Panda, I don't know if it has anything to do with your situation but don't forget that the PCI-E slot closest to the cpu is directly wired to it (through the motherboard traces of course) The other slots are routed through some other chip to allow for more slots on the motherboard.
re: floppy cable It's not shorting. It remembers the previous state on the breakout board so if one was powered on and the other was powered off independently of each other, it will remember that. It's a dumb toggle. You just need to power on the other one that isn't powering on together separately and then power both of them off, connect the floppy cable, and then it will work.
Re-check all your pcie settings, if I can get 15 cards on an old h-270f board you should be able to smash past that, are you running all the cards on gen 1/2 pcie so they all run in x1 mode?
Hi Panda ! What should you advice / is for you the best motherboard / cpu / power supply / ram (..) configuration you would go with 6x 3080 to mine multiple Coins ? (Not a perfect config for only one coin, but 2 or 3)
You said x4 x4 x4 try splitting it all off the first pcie16, then split again. Not sure if I'm saying this right.1x4=4 4×4=16 16x4=64. Put the four pcie16 split in the other pcie16 split. That's 28 pcie1 that can be split four ways to 28 gpus.
That batch file is hilarious!!! LMAO that must have been fun mapping out lol - keep up the great work my canadain brother. Hope u are okay With all these floods we have been having. Crazy times over here. I have NOT seen this much rain in my whole 39yrs of living here. Im surprised your basement is not flooded, like it did in 2019.Take care my BC friends, we will pull through this natural disaster.
News flash, not every rain event is a "natural disaster." I understand you can't disconnect from the fear machine that has tried to convince you of that, but you should try it. Rain and floods happen, it is natural, and good. If it floods your house, sounds like an opportunity to improve your preparedness and not just think the world will always be perfect.
Glad the noctua cooler keeps your project going. You need a whole new threadripper system to get higher pcie lane CPU as x399 mobo can support the highest TR 2990WX cpu which only 64 pcie lane. 💪🏻
Holy smokes this is beyond my kung fu. I would have loved a step by step on this. The thing to remember about GPU mining is that in many instances pools charge by the miner so if you could have 32 GPU's on your single rig you only get charged once as opposed to twice for 13 GPU's on 2 rigs. I would love to build one of these, please show in detail how you did it.
The troubleshooting that would happen with that many cards in one rig would annoy you far too much to be worth it. That is the main reason that RPM uses 6-8 card miners exclusively for his main rigs.
EDIT: nevermind, just checked the motherboard manual for that Phantom 6, it supports 16X on all slots, at the same time. Does that motherboard allow for more than one PCIe slot to run at 16X? That bifurcation card forces the slot to run 4x4x4x4. You should have plenty of lanes, but I see so many strange restrictions on motherboards. Where if PCIe slot 1 is utilizing 16X, it disables / limits other slots. I don't know why they would have such a restriction on Threadripper platforms but that could be it.
Amazing video bro! thank you always! i just dont know exactly the difference between mining in PCIE X16 and the normal ones, sorry if i missed an explanation from that
If you only populate the first slot it is in 16x mode so you can fit 16 cards. If you add another card doesent it restrict the first slot used to 8x and second to 8x for the same total of 16 pcie lanes? If that is true you should be able to add 8 cards to the first 8x slot, 8 cards to the second 8x slot and an extra card on the small 1x slots for a total of 19(?) Cards
I have a 3970 threadripper on a TRX40 mobo, but they have the same amount of pic-e lines as the one you are trying, so I am not sure what the point is. If you want to try something else, you would need to go for a threadripper pro which has also way more slots. However given the price of a threadripper pro, I am not sure whether it makes sense
Hello. I have watch your video about 24 and now 16 GPU. If I'm right in previous video you wasn't use any mining GPU edition (like P104-100 etc) and you got just 13 running. I'm thinking that even without your new adapters you can still get up 16GPU running if you use a P-series GPU. If I can make a advice try to use more P-series GPU or added AMD cards. I have a filling that with mixed Nvidia+P+AMD you will reach the goal. In my opinion just a driver's now stop your project. For example look on Asus B250 Mining Edition... They said about mixed GPU to reach up 19GPU... All people said that PCIE lines, that GPU tak 4 line?! Can you explain to me why I put running 13GPU at CPU i7, i5, i3 (skylake) and G4560... All of them have 16PCIe lines... And why u use a PCIE X1 :p I really think that problem is a GPU drivers... I guess the maximum load is 13 GPU (like 13 gaming GPU +13mining GPU) probably mining GPU is like separate somehow in drivers.
Its not a sort... the breakout board has a memory of its last power state. They are on opposite states. Power one on and then plug it into the other breakout board.
All Threadripper (non-pro) have 64 PCIe limit. You'd need to look at the WX80 board and Threadripper Pro (or equally an Epyc setup) to get 128 PCIe lanes. As for 16 limit, that is an interesting one, guessing Linux setup on this would also limit it? Try to see if you can add an NVME drive and see if it gest detected as the "17"th PCIE device. if it fails, then we'll know 16 would be (potentially) hard limit.
you do know a m.2 nvme can take up 4 lanes, m.2 uses 1Xuse a 6 gpu spiltter on your 16X slots, i run 24 GPUs, 28 cards was a bit buggy, their is a 4 gpu for m.2 nvme slot, all on aliexpress
Dude, the MSI Trio needs more than the thermal pads. Take the metal plate off that presses against the pads and put thermal compound under it, it is missing on one side! MASSIVE difference
What if you tried this with an Intel setup? I saw bits was able to get 21 GPUs running on a Asus mining expert, so I'm carious how much of a role the CPU plays in the own operation. Bits be trippin VLOG#68 using a i3-7350k
Be careful, the other day I was messing with my rig and I left a little daughter board just sit on one of the slots by accident and fired the rig and it literally started welding itself to the slot. Seeing all these carbs into cards into slots left right and upside down has me worried one could "slip" out over time and do what happened to me. By the way my rig didn't turn itself off, PSU, MOBO, nothing turned off i had to unplug it to make it stop. BE CAREFUL GUYS!
It's amazing that the board Partners make so much money on each board but they use the cheapest products. Good thermal pads don't even cost that much money
If using one PCI-E Slot with all 16 Lanes would let you run out of PCIE-Lanes, no one could use these other two slots using a single GPU (without a adapter). Think about it, you buy such a $250 Board for your gaming Rig and after putting a GPU in it you cannot use these other 2x 16x Slots. Is there a option to enable Multi-GPU support in the bios? (for using crossfire or sli?). The Manual says you can use all three ports in SLI/crossfire mode. As far as i know many mainboards need to cut down some pci-e lanes when used in sli mode. Maybe if you split the second PCI-E port you cannot use all 16x of the first slot. maybe everyone of these ports gets cut down to 8x!? Try using two of these 4x4x4x4x adapter with two 4x-gpu-USB-splitter-card adapters if this works try using a 16x riser cable to try using three of these 4x4x4x4x adapters with six of these 4x-gpu-USB-splitter-card adapters.

Getting closer! Looking awesome!
How many gpus can be installed in this motherboard (asus prime h310m-k r2.0) with 1pci-e to 4 splitter.
please help me
How much power are those x4 splitter cards rated for? does it cleanly split the correct amount of power between the lanes and what is the max they can do?
Good stuff red panda! This is taking hashpower density to a whole new level
Red Panda, I don't know if it has anything to do with your situation but don't forget that the PCI-E slot closest to the cpu is directly wired to it (through the motherboard traces of course) The other slots are routed through some other chip to allow for more slots on the motherboard.
re: floppy cable
It's not shorting.
It remembers the previous state on the breakout board so if one was powered on and the other was powered off independently of each other, it will remember that.
It's a dumb toggle.
You just need to power on the other one that isn't powering on together separately and then power both of them off, connect the floppy cable, and then it will work.
Re-check all your pcie settings, if I can get 15 cards on an old h-270f board you should be able to smash past that, are you running all the cards on gen 1/2 pcie so they all run in x1 mode?
Yes x16 ribbon cable should work to extend it out then go for the 32
Very nice experiment! Good Job bro!
Hi Panda !
What should you advice / is for you the best motherboard / cpu / power supply / ram (..) configuration you would go with 6x 3080 to mine multiple Coins ? (Not a perfect config for only one coin, but 2 or 3)
What MOBO+ CPU use for this configuration?? thank you ( sorry for my english)
You said x4 x4 x4 try splitting it all off the first pcie16, then split again. Not sure if I'm saying this right.1x4=4 4×4=16 16x4=64.
Put the four pcie16 split in the other pcie16 split. That's 28 pcie1 that can be split four ways to 28 gpus.
This is a monster! Great video!
at the 255 mark you introduce a x1up6 slot splitter to accept 3 more than what you had before. What brand and where to buy

Or upgrade to EPYC :D Ohhhh I would love to see this project
Did you actually set the other PCI-E slots on your motherboard to X16? Not sure if it is enabled by default.

8:55 some crypto asmr compliments of RPM lol. I thought my TH-cam video changed with that bedroom talk
on a 16x slot, wouldnt each card use 1 pci lane? hence the 16 card limit.

You could use x16 PCIe Risers to get a x4x4x4x4 from every x16 slot. But that cable mess would be huge xD
I am waiting for your 60 GPU rig xD
This is awesome and pure lunacy all in one video!!!
Amazing video bro! thank you always! i just dont know exactly the difference between mining in PCIE X16 and the normal ones, sorry if i missed an explanation from that
@WHAT’SAPP➕④④⑦④⑤①②⑦⑨Ⓞ④⑤ why you have same logo as Red Panda? And why your number is not from US?? 🤔
How are you powering all the gpu’s
If you only populate the first slot it is in 16x mode so you can fit 16 cards. If you add another card doesent it restrict the first slot used to 8x and second to 8x for the same total of 16 pcie lanes? If that is true you should be able to add 8 cards to the first 8x slot, 8 cards to the second 8x slot and an extra card on the small 1x slots for a total of 19(?) Cards
To create more space between the adapter, use gpu the cable used for vertical gpu. It Will geven you more space.
Try the x79 h61 motherboard it’s have 5x8x16 pcie + cpu 2620v1 or v2 will work for 40 pcie lane
that's insane dude... holy ssh.. honestly I was waiting for the smoke coming out somewhere lol :D
Thanks for your efforts,m8! I enjoy that a lot!♥
How many pie lanes does the cpu support? You may not have enough lanes.
x1 riser on the x16 slots of the MB don't work either?
I want to see 1TH out of 1 rig. This needs to work lol
You will be able to boot with more P104's or other mining GPUs but not with regular ones. Its a consumer hardware limitation.
Can you split the splitter's splitter? hahahhaa
Awesome! What motherboard u using Red Panda?
Only you would try this 💪⛏️ Sweet very useful information though cheers
What threadripper CPU is that and motherboard l want to try something like this for both workstation use and Mining Thanks
i think the problem is that 1st pcie lane he used is x16 so 4x4x4x4 the other one is x8 and the last one x4, depends on the motherboard ofc
I have a 3970 threadripper on a TRX40 mobo, but they have the same amount of pic-e lines as the one you are trying, so I am not sure what the point is.

I have a filling that with mixed Nvidia+P+AMD you will reach the goal.
In my opinion just a driver's now stop your project.
For example look on Asus B250 Mining Edition... They said about mixed GPU to reach up 19GPU...
All people said that PCIE lines, that GPU tak 4 line?! Can you explain to me why I put running 13GPU at CPU i7, i5, i3 (skylake) and G4560... All of them have 16PCIe lines... And why u use a PCIE X1 :p
I really think that problem is a GPU drivers... I guess the maximum load is 13 GPU (like 13 gaming GPU +13mining GPU) probably mining GPU is like separate somehow in drivers.
Try the vertical GPU risers so you're not blocked by the space between each splitter !
Its not a sort... the breakout board has a memory of its last power state. They are on opposite states. Power one on and then plug it into the other breakout board.
After watching this, I feel a lot better about my horrible cable management .. 😂
Cool project.
You have to disable CSM in the bios and boot on UEFI to make it work ;)
Excellent video, sir. ♥♥ ♥♥ 8:38
plz help i have 2 graphic card 1st 8gb and 2nd 4gb how to mine both i use unminable pool but ethash not mine my 4gb graphic card
All Threadripper (non-pro) have 64 PCIe limit. You'd need to look at the WX80 board and Threadripper Pro (or equally an Epyc setup) to get 128 PCIe lanes.
As for 16 limit, that is an interesting one, guessing Linux setup on this would also limit it?
Try to see if you can add an NVME drive and see if it gest detected as the "17"th PCIE device. if it fails, then we'll know 16 would be (potentially) hard limit.
why did you add --pl (power limit) if you lock the core clock?
it is not needed if you lock de coreclock ;)
Hi RedPanda i’m planning to buy few RTX 3090 for mining , is it true if the cards are used for mining the warranty goes voided?
Where us the best place to buy video cards. Can't find any.
Redpanda, maybe you can use that pcie x 16 extenders before the x4 x4 x4 x4 adapter, that + some cable management ^^
Nice experiment!! I want to try 1 to 7 pcie riser splitter..
Hey how is it going? Curious if you are still running this setup and is it stable? Really interested in knowing!
you do know a m.2 nvme can take up 4 lanes, m.2 uses 1Xuse a 6 gpu spiltter on your 16X slots, i run 24 GPUs, 28 cards was a bit buggy, their is a 4 gpu for m.2 nvme slot, all on aliexpress
temperature for rtx 3080 @100c? that hot!!! wouldn't it damage the card if run for long time?
Dude, the MSI Trio needs more than the thermal pads. Take the metal plate off that presses against the pads and put thermal compound under it, it is missing on one side! MASSIVE difference
That helium miner you shilled out 7 months ago still hasn't shipped to anyone, just wondering if you have any idea what's going on with that?
What if you tried this with an Intel setup? I saw bits was able to get 21 GPUs running on a Asus mining expert, so I'm carious how much of a role the CPU plays in the own operation.
Bits be trippin VLOG#68 using a i3-7350k
Could you not plug an x4,x4,x4 into one of the slots of another x4,x4,x4,x4 ?
2:50 use a PCIe extender. they are about 6 to 10 inch long
What To Mine After Eth Is Gone So Is GPU Mining Now Profitable?
can you use a gen 3 pcie slot on a 3090 without sacrificing hasrate?
I only used thermalright 1mm pads on my Gaming X Trio, went down like 30 degrees.
Be careful, the other day I was messing with my rig and I left a little daughter board just sit on one of the slots by accident and fired the rig and it literally started welding itself to the slot. Seeing all these carbs into cards into slots left right and upside down has me worried one could "slip" out over time and do what happened to me. By the way my rig didn't turn itself off, PSU, MOBO, nothing turned off i had to unplug it to make it stop. BE CAREFUL GUYS!
Did you try plugging the 4 way splitter directly into the motherboard? 🤔
It's amazing that the board Partners make so much money on each board but they use the cheapest products. Good thermal pads don't even cost that much money
I assume you changed the PCIe Slot1 Config to x4x4x4x4, but did you change PCIe Slot4 Config to x4x4x4x4 as well?
If using one PCI-E Slot with all 16 Lanes would let you run out of PCIE-Lanes, no one could use these other two slots using a single GPU (without a adapter).
Think about it, you buy such a $250 Board for your gaming Rig and after putting a GPU in it you cannot use these other 2x 16x Slots.
Is there a option to enable Multi-GPU support in the bios? (for using crossfire or sli?). The Manual says you can use all three ports in SLI/crossfire mode. As far as i know many mainboards need to cut down some pci-e lanes when used in sli mode. Maybe if you split the second PCI-E port you cannot use all 16x of the first slot. maybe everyone of these ports gets cut down to 8x!?
Try using two of these 4x4x4x4x adapter with two 4x-gpu-USB-splitter-card adapters if this works try using a 16x riser cable to try using three of these 4x4x4x4x adapters with six of these 4x-gpu-USB-splitter-card adapters.
Are you loosing any hashrate when running on multipliers?
28 lines busy 4x4x4x4 from each you take x1x1x1x1 and multiply to four, rest 3 lanes from each connn. not working but reserved. Total 16 +12 =28
