I got it working on 5+ (currently messing with 7 atm).
Ill try to be as detailed as possible but theres a baby so who knows if hell will break lose. We need kboost etc for cracking/pen testing. Our rigs fall midway between mining and machine learning. We need to mess with stuff in PXOC. We use more than 4 gpus per machine.
Basically the issue is this, PXOC can only handle 4 gpus... what is inferred is "at a time." This method so far is working with bulk settings. Individual tweaks, I would not recommend bc of how its handled and possibility of misassignment.
The russian youtube msi pxoc theme change thing did not work for us. Plus this way you can use your ICX fans.
Assuming win 10.
1) Boot up normal. Kill everything you boot into (afterburner- I wold disable so it doesn't mess up settings, pxoc, mining software, whatever)
2) Kick up device manager, display adapters.
3) Right click on all but 4 of your gpus, and disable.
4) Boot up PXOC, it will only see 4 cards...
5) Max sure cards are linked (usually on smaller setups, we individually changed settings to each card, not doing here).
6) Have patience, when configuring 2-4 cards, sometimes it seems like it will hang. Just be patient and change settings slowly, preferably with a beer.
7) Kick fans up to 100% (if u want),
8) Enable kboost. Note: if this hangs, switch this step and step 5) and enable kboost individually then link.
9) Obviously this whole time you should be applying settings...
10) Exit PXOC, make sure its really exited
11) Go back to device manager, disable the ones that are enabled, and enable the ones that are disabled. Don't be an idiot and disable the card hooked up to the display (we use onboard video, so does not apply to us).
12) Repeat steps 3)-10).
13) Now the really important part... do NOT boot up mining stuff or whatever. It will hang. (It thinks some cards are disabled when they are not) REBOOT FIRST.
14) Open up PXOC (but don't make changes without another reboot) and verify. You should see kboost, fan settings etc stuck around post reboot.
15) Mine, crack, or machine learn...
Gear: This proto rig = 7 gtx 1080 tis FTW3 hybrids... we would have more setup if the damn miners didn't keep buying out all the 1600w Evga PSUs. =) I have a hamster on a wheel powering the 8th and hes not cutting it.
