Hi,
 
I reinstalled Windows 10 (using settings/update and security/recovery/re-set) and tried connecting the displays one at a time. I continue to not be able to get all 5 displays connected at the same time. The results of connecting the displays to the MST Hub 1 at a time were irregular. I estimate I tried it 50 times. I was able to get 3 displays to come on (sometimes) but not the 4th. At each failure I would push the re-set button on the MST hub, or unplug the power cord, and restart my PC, and then plug in displays one at  a time. Several times, 3 displays was possible but not a forth. A couple of times I was able to get 4 displays to work, but then when I tried to plug in the 5th display, (using the second mini-display port on the video card) it would not work.
 
I spent 8 hours doing this testing today, on a completely clean system. It simply doesn’t work.
 
I’m very frustrated, I have spent a lot of money on this system to be able to play flight sim on 5×1 eyefinity but can’t get it to work.
 
I wonder if I was to run two of the CSV-5300 (vs 5400) hubs so that there was only 3 DP’s on each output of the video card, would that work.

I’m very frustrated, I have spent a lot of money on this system to be able to play flight sim on 5×1 eyefinity but can’t get it to work. I tried to buy everything designed to work together (R9 200, certified adaptors etc).
 
What should I do?
 
I wonder if I was to run two of the CSV-5300 (vs 5400) hubs so that there was only 3 DP’s on each output of the video card, would that work.
 
Please let me know if there is a way we could talk real-time for support. I’ve spent a lot of time on this but getting no where.
 
Thanks,
