I have an 8 GPU rig of 1080ti's but I want to repurpose one for my personal PC. Is there a way to remove just one GPU from the rig without ruining the other 7's usability for the rig?

You have 8 1080Ti's in a mining rig but you don't understand how to remove them? Did someone else build this or something?
