Some user mays have a question about that graphcis cards not working when connected them to the PCIe x1 slots (PEX1_7~PEX1_11) of the motherboard TB360-BTC PRO or TB360-BTC PRO2.0.

That's because the PCIe slots in the second row are not capable of providing power.

As the result, please use riser cards which are capable of providing power to graphics cards.

But please note that the riser card below might not provide the proper voltage to a graphcis cards.

We advise users use the following riser card instead and please make sure the power cable is connected properly.

According to the specification of the TB360 series motherboards they only support SATA M.2 devices.

So if you use a PCIe NVMe M.2 that system won't recoganize it.  Please replace an M.2 SATA device.

For more information about the specification of these motherboards please visit our web site.

Hardware 

Ensure hardware connect properly first.

(1). Check VGA card 

Try to only plug one VGA card in PEX16_1 (long yellow slot) directly without riser card => Check whether display

(2). Check Riser card 

Try to plug VGA card with only one riser card to test per PEX1 and PEX16_1 => Check whether display.

(3). Check Power supply

Make sure power supplies you use are sufficient for your whole system.

(4). Check the power connector of Riser Cards and VGA cards are connected properly.

(5). There are two 6 pin AUXPWR1 and AXUPWR2 connectors at the botton of the motherboard. Please don't connect them to neither power supplies nor graphics cards.
