[SOLVED] Cannot boot with K80 GPU

[asyrov]

I've recently purchased used K80 GPU and put it in my TUF 450 - PLUS gaming motherboard (in addition to GTX 1070). Powered both cards by the same PCIe cable. Processor is Ryzen 7. Nothing is overclocked. Card appears to be, visually at least ok, also I feel it is slightly warm while computer turned on.

Machine is not booting in this configuration. If I remove K80, everything gets back to normal.

I googled for similar problem. Some mention "memory remap" option, which I could not find in my bios settings. Also to connect it to PCIe power cable I had to purchase adapter (NVIDIA Graphics Card Power Cable 030-0571-000 CPU 8 Pin Male to Dual PCIe 8), and both card are powered by the same power cable, if this could be a problem.

Can anyone please advice what else can I try?

Thank you very much in advance,
Andrew

This is an old card. Not even sure it works on UEFI board.

Not sure if you can run that card an the gtx 1070 at the same time.

Using an adapter is not recommended and you can't power that card and the gtx 1070 using only 1 PCIE connector.

What is your PSU?

EDIT : The TESLA K80 GPU ACCELERATOR use a 1 ESP CPU power connector. Not PCI-E connector.

Power is Seasonic Platinum fanless (I believe this 520W). I'm getting today another power cable to connect both cards with different cables.

Yet, you are saying GTX 1070 is old and may prevent from booting, can you please point me to more info on this?

Thank you very much for helping

Tesla K80 is 300W card. It requires 700W psu (without additional graphics card).
With also GTX 1070 in system you need at least 850W PSU.

You have to be crazy to try running this with 520W PSU.

Was talking about the K80. Not the 1070. The K80 is 8 years old.

Not only that. The K80 requires an ESP power connection.

The K80 is 8 years old.

More like 5-6 years.

Totally right. I checked something earlier that was 2012. Don't know I said 8 years.

Google says 2014 so yeah you're right.

Can you please explain what is ESP power connection (like in amazon link)?

So, you mean I need to connect this GPU to EPS-12v, which is different from PCIe because of this Sence A/B. PCIe works fine for GTX 1070, but this is not what K80 needs. Is this correct?

Here is what the manual of the Tesla Nvidia K80 says. You can still use PCIe connectors but follow the instruction from Table 3.
