6-8 gpu motherboard

[Kylian]

I have a question i cant seem to find any mobo that can hold 6 to 8 dual slot video cards with out any pci risers.

Motherboard like that doesn't exist or even if it exists then it would be expensive as hell. Also you would be dealing with extreme heating issues with that setup so risers are a must (assuming you want to mine)

Well i alrady have a few mining setups.

Cooling is no problem.

I do know the msi bigbang has 7 x16 pci slots but the probldm is the dual slot cards.

there isn't unfortunately, unless you wanna take a look at server mobos for rendering stations. Those are upwards a thousand bucks though and I am no expert on those. As far as consumer stuff goes 4 double-spaced pcie x16 slots is the most you can put on even an eATX board. If you wanna build something mining related you can use boards that offer lots of x1 slots for risers.

Alride i think i will take a look at server hardware

Regular computer motherboards are limited in the number of slots due to ATX and EATX sizes.  Can't fit more than 8 slots in these standards, so you can only insert 4  double height video cards.

There are threadripper or EPYC (server) motherboards which have lots of x16 slots , and you could buy video cards and remove their big coolers and install water cooling and this way you'd manage to put 8 video cards on them... but the added cost of water cooling blocks would not make it worth it.

 

Here's an example of motherboard though, just in case you're interested : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145044

 

5 x 16 slots and in theory you can shove two adapters in the m.2 slots to get two more  x4 slots.

 

For mining, you don't need x16 slots, x1 is enough for mining. So you can safely use pci-e risers to connect more cards ...

I know about the x1 slots but a video card would straight up fit in thare unles you cut it open at the back.

The thing whi i dont like risers that mutch is the realy realy poor quality 2 out of 10 are broken wen bought new.
