A100 PCIe isn't recognized by BIOS

Hi @sheim

Here is a working saved profile - for some reason mine isn’t text but in a binary format:
2022-03-30-working.CMO (29.5 KB)

I think some of the BIOS options appear/disappear when you turn other options on/off. I spent so much time trying many different combinations that now I don’t remember when this option appeared.

Perhaps changing: Primary Display [Auto] to something else might reveal new options?

The MOBO firmware version is 1402

The NVIDIA software is: Driver Version: 510.47.03 CUDA Version: 11.6

I initially made it work on Ubuntu 20.04, but later I had various issues and switched to 21.10 (probably 22.04 should be a better option now) and I also pushed the kernel to 5.15 (mainline).

CUDA version shouldn’t matter as long as it’s 11x - I started with an earlier version and then recently updated to 11.6.


Cooling - I haven’t tried using A100 with its original passive radiator other than to see that it was detected and run a very basic test. It was getting hot really fast, so I didn’t use it until I got water cooling figured out.

As you’re saying the passive cooling should be enough to detect the card.


Is it possible that you don’t have enough PSU power to drive A100? I’m using 1200W PSU with 1070Ti and A100.

Perhaps the PCIe insertion order of cards matters? Switching them around perhaps?

Please let me know if I missed anything and you need some additional info.
