Yes, I have 7 plugged in with 6 working just fine at the moment, and I believe the lack of the 7th showing up is that I have not shorted out the second x16 slot - I am running old style risers from 2014.
I hope to short the pins during lunch today and have 7 running!
I'll get you the exact specs sometime today, work permitting

please report if this is a HW or SW problem. I am interested in this as well.
