Solved: MSI Z170A SLI PLUS - 1 to 6 GPU Problem

Here’s my working setup again:

  • Flashing Bios and Installing the latest release
  • Installing Windows 10 Pro on a UEFI/ GPT partition (here’s nothing to do - it works out of the box)
  • doing all Windows updates
  • Connecting only one card with a USB-Riser and installing the drivers - you have to be patient with WIN 10. It can take several minutes. Open the device manager and take a look at the Graphic section. Only if NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is shown there, driver installation is finished. Wait this time.
  • Changing in the BIOS ‘PEG0’ and ‘PEG1’ values to ‘Gen1’ and Set ‘Above 4G Decoding’ to ‘Enabled’
  • Restarting and check if everything works fine.
  • After this I connect the next three cards, Open the device manager and take a look at the Graphic section and waiting until NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is shown for all four cards.
  • Connecting the last two cards - restarting and it’s done
