No i mean the converters do exist, but on the msi gaming 5 if you are using the M2 slot the PCI-e 5 is disabled, so that wouldn't work i think.

this is what I was not sure about, if using m.2 disabled a PCIE lane or just some sata ports.
still might get one to try for the fun of it though

Anyone figure out how to get 8 GPUs on the MSI Gaming 5?

My power supply supports 9 PCIe power cables, be awesome If I could fit 2 more GPUs.

You cant off the shelf. Im the one that designed this system with Padrino. My personal prototype systems are running 10 GPUs of a Gigabyte board. It requires very low level changes to how the board BIOS operates.

Mind if I ask what method you used to get 8th GPU running? I've tried PCIe multipliers, but it still maxes out at 7 GPUs.

In Windows at a guess? That'll be your problem, i'm sure in Linux 8+ will be fine with a splitter.

You need to modify the addressing on the system to handle 8 GPUs on Linux or Windows, it won't boot out of the box that way but with some work it can be done.
